I came upon [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/155824054/0/0/1]xGunBlaze[/url]'s post about Clans, and I noticed a line that suggested creating custom Clan Emblems and Shaders. It got me thinking why keep it to just those two? Why not allow clans to design their own guns and armor? This could give clans a whole new feel and put them on par with the preset factions we can already choose from. [b]Note:[/b] Clans would not be required to design their own gear if they did not want to! [b][u]Clan Kiosk and Vendor Location[/u][/b] - Lounge (club area where emotes kiosk is found) in the Tower and a side room in the Reef. [spoiler]-It would be easier to join/create clans! -The Kiosk will behave similar to Bungie.net's clan pages. The Vendor (be it an NPC or a machine) would sell/distribute gear.[/spoiler] [u][b]Kiosk Main Menu[/b][/u] [spoiler]1. [Clan] Overview - If the player is part of a clan, go to the page that shows members and available gear (if applicable). Members can also leave the clan from here. 2. Search for a Clan - Search using keywords or by popularity. Here they can ask to join a clan. 3. Admin Tools - [Admin Only] Admins are taken to a page similar to the Bungie.net Admin Tools (Pending Members, Settings, etc). 4. Create Gear - [Admin Only] Create gear for the clan (more below). 5. Create Clan - If the player is not part of a clan, take the player through the steps to create a clan (Name, Mission Statement, Abbreviation, etc).[/spoiler] [b]Create Gear Menu[/b] [spoiler]1. Clan Colors - Choose four colors for your clan. (eg. New Monarchy uses Red/White/Red/White, Crucible uses Green, Blue, Black, White, etc) 2. Emblems - Create up to six emblems for your clan. 3. Shaders - Create up to four shaders for your clan. 4. Armor - Create armor for your clan. 5. Weapons - Create weapons for your clan. 6. Ghost - Create a Ghost shell for your clan. 7. Ship - Create up to three ships for your clan.[/spoiler] [b]Create Emblem[/b] [spoiler]Using Clan Colors... -Name the Emblem -Choose the Emblem rarity (Uncommon, Rare, Legendary). -Up to three layers can be used (Background, Middle Layer, Top Layer). -Choose from preset icons and shapes, or use a line tool to create shapes. -Choose a gradient for the player's name background.[/spoiler] [b]Shaders[/b] [spoiler]Using Clan Colors... -Name the Shader. -Choose a background color. -Choose an outline color. -Choose a main color. -Offer a preview for the three classes.[/spoiler] [b]Armor Menu[/b] [spoiler]-Select a class. -Select type of Armor. -Name the Armor. -Create a description. -Select Armor perks (related to armor type). -Select upgrade materials (Spinmetal, Relic Iron, etc). -Select design pattern from preset list (six to ten?).[/spoiler] [b]Weapons Menu[/b] [spoiler]-Clans can have either 2 Primary/2 Special/2 Heavy, 2 Primary/3 Special/1 Heavy, 3 Primary/2 Special/1 Heavy, or 3 Primary/1 Special/2 Heavy. -Select weapon type and manufacturer. -Name the Weapon. -Create a description. -Select damage type (Kinetic, Solar, Arc, Void). -Select available perks for weapon. -Select upgrade materials (Spinmetal, Relic Iron, etc). -Set weapon stats: Each stat will have a base and a max limit depending on the type of weapon, and there will be a set amount of "points" to put into the weapon's stats; ammo capacity could count towards this point limit. This could allow a Hand Cannon to have moderate range and impact, fast reload and high stability, and lower magazine capacity and low rate of fire. -Select design pattern from preset list (six to ten?).[/spoiler] [b]Ghost[/b] [spoiler]-Select design for Ghost. -Name the Ghost. -Create a description. -Select perks for Ghost. -Select color scheme for Ghost.[/spoiler] [b]Ship[/b] [spoiler]-Name the ship. -Create a description. -Select body for ship. -Select wings for ship. -Select thrusters for ship. -Select accessories for ship. -Select color scheme for ship (using Clan Colors).[/spoiler] [u][b]Gear Requirements[/b][/u] [spoiler]All gear would have a base light level of 280 and legendary status, so the clan members would need to earn them like any other faction. They can take an allegiance to their clan and earn experience, as well as turn in Motes of Light, Weapon/Armor Parts, and Ammo Syntheses.

It would truly let us define ourselves, stand out in a crowd, and give us new goals to aim for!
