Trouble with dem Hexagons

We have 3 costume sets that use a hexagon patter now: Cyberpunk, Holo Hex and Superconductor tights. And somehow, they look incompatible with piece from about every other set, even from eachother. 
As cool as these costume pieces are, it's a serious bummer that we can't mix and match them with other sets. So here are a few suggestions for changes that would help integrating them.
General
There should be a Hexagon "Detail" option for all regular tights. Or actually, we need TWO such textures; a big one matching the Superconductor tights and a smaller one matching Cyberpunk tights. That alone would allow for many good-looking combinations! :cool:
Holo Hex
Make the hexagon pattern that is all over EVERY piece of that set a "Detail" option. And, of course, add another "Detail" option that gives these pieces a smoth, untextured surface.
And yes, I know: It is a Z-Store costume pack and Cryptic doesn't change anything about these once they hit the store. Which is a bad decision, imo. It IS technically possible to make changes and even add new costume pieces to a Z-Store pack and make them unlock for everyone who bought that set before.
Cyber Punk
This is the most unnecessarily rigid costume set I've seen in CO so far. Much needs to be improved here!
* Male characters are forced to have two robotic arms, while females can't even have one.
* There is a leg option for the left leg, the right or both legs being robotic. But none for both legs being organic. No simple Cyberpunk Tights. Why? It's obvious that this is technically possible and very easy to make even!
* There is no version of the chest armor for female characters.
Superconductor
The chest armor is only available for males. But unlike with the Cyberpunk one, Superconductor chest wear does exist! Female NPCs can be seen wearing it. Likely, this is a bug that needs to be fixed my chance.
Well, as the Superconductor armor has no hexagon pattern and there is no problem with the tights, I have no further suggestions for it. For now.

also wish you didnt have that speckled color on the 90's recog boots
That's another topic, but true. Some little bug applies the Brushed Metal colors to the other materials as well. Should really be getting fixed by chance.
But I won't hold my breath. If there is one thing Cryptic has shown to be slow at fixing, it's costume issues.
