Hi all, I wanted to submit a concept idea to the devs but could only think of posting it here in hope they see it. anyway I present to you the Helm of Alpha Centauri:
[u][b]Exotic:[/b][/u]
Helm of Alpha Centauri:
[u][b]Perk name:[/b][/u]
Facula (Facula is a bright region of the surface of a star that is linked to the appearance of sunspots).
[b][u]Description: [/u][/b]
When you become [b]Radiant[/b], your solar weapons [b]Scorch [/b]targets (can increase stacks with [b]Ember of Ashes[/b] fragment).
When you kill a target with [b]Consecration[/b], you and nearby allies gain a small boost of energy to all abilities and [b]Cure [/b]or [b]Cure[/b] x2.
[u][b]Inspiration: [/b][/u]
The concept of this exotic armor piece was largely inspired by wanting to create a shift in playstyle from the generic “Synthos bonk and Lorely crutch” solar builds. The design is to provide the power fantasy that titans dream (being supportive but also a damage dealer/berserker role).
The inspiration for having both roles in one exotic draws from hunters Gyrfalcons Hauberk where I wanted to create essentially [i]“Gyrfalcons but for titan”[/i].
[b][u]Armor Design: [/u][/b]
[u]Base ornament: [/u]
The armor aesthetic I had thought of going with the galaxy/space theme is an Astronaut themed helmet but inside the visor is a glowing star which has two almond shaped eyes but as sunspots.
[u]Eververse ornament: [/u]
In keeping with the theme of galaxy and space theme, since a lot of items in space are named after Roman Gods. A Roman Praetorian guard helmet would be fitting for Titan where it has fire coming out of its eyes and the mohawk crest would have fire instead of the traditional hair.

Some cool ideas and naming conventions. To offer constructive feedback, I'd say the perk should probably stray from the already abundant amount of healing titan solar builds produce. Why use a weapon when a synthoceps melee can get you your healing even quicker (and with more damage and aoe with sunspots), ya know? I'd say try and invest in a perk that focuses on a different advantage of solar titan. You started good with picking out the radiant verb. How else could you tie it in with other abilities? Can it take a support role? What's the ideal use-case or playstyle for this exotic that another one doesn't do better?
