Female police (NPC and costume)

edited February 2015 in Suggestions Box
Someone tried making a police outfit for their character, and couldn't because the costume options on the shirt weren't there for female characters.
"Why isn't there a shoulder patch option on the police shirt for females?"
"Because there aren't any female police officers."
"...Wait, what?"
I mean, I really wouldn't want to ask my friend to play the game, only to have to admit that she can't make herself as a character unless she gives her character a sex change. Please toss at least one female beat cop out on the map, with whatever standard costume pieces she needs made available. Oh, and make sure the same applies for fire/ambulance types.

    Female medics (and scientists) certainly exist. I believe female fire fighters exist but they're in the tutorial in a somewhat medic capacity. However, lack of the police badge for female characters is one of those oddities that needs to be fixed.

    Would it help to create a "Badge" emblem

    I really wish there was an entire "MCPD" costume pack. with shirts, pants, hats, badges, and other accessories for MC's public servants!

    I wanted to make MCPD Mobile Armored Suit but couldn't find the MCPD logo anywhere. It would add an interesting dimension to some costumes and concepts.

    Certainly something that should be added. At least the badge/patch things. Kind of sends a message to some people. (ofc i can see how they may have overlooked it)

    Females are woefully under represented in CO in general. Now in some ways that's cool, we don't have maiden in distress tropes as every scientist/researcher/doctor that your rescue in missions, except for one, is male, but on the other hand it also means that 50% of the worlds population is under represented with NPC heroes and villains. Female NPCs are rarer then Sasquatches in Canada for example. Making a few of the police officers in Millennium city would just be a good start.

    Funny you mention them, since the Sasquatch NPCs have no recognizably-female members, either...

    There is a badge costume piece. Its just not available to players.

    Well technically there are male and female Sasquatches but both use the male body, likewise, lemurians both use the male body for both, but female lemurians are easy to spot because they're larger and beefier.

    Yes, these are true.

    Strangely enough, there are plenty of females among the UNTIL soldiers and similar factions, including officers like the one in Serpent Lantern. Major Okonkwo, I think her name is.
