I've been recently trying to figure out Confed's uniform scheme throughout the war...but there's alot of kinks in it.....here's what i've got...
WC1 - The pilots wear blue pants and a brown jacket, while Halcyon wears something that could be similar to the WC3 uniforms..
WC2 - The blue and white uniforms seem to be standard, although they don't look TOO far off from a WC4 style uniform..
WC3 - Everyone wears the blue work shirt type uniforms, with the higher ups having a blue jacket
WC4 - The blue, more formal looking uniforms with presumably Space Force people having black stripes and Navy people having white stripes (or white strips might signify a Captain and higher rank)
WCATV - This is what is odd. It take place pre-WC1, but the people wear a combination of WC3 and 4 uniforms. The WC4 uniforms seem to be the full uniform, while the WC3 style uniforms are more feild duty uniforms.
I personally disregard visuals from the WCM, and that would only throw even more of a kink in the whole uniform thing...
So was Confed pumping out new uniforms every few years, or all of these really pretty much the same? I think they're all pretty much the same, with just minor variations.
I mean, Halcyon in WC1 does look like he's wearing a WC3/4 style uniform, and the pilots have that brown uniform. I think the brown pilots uniforms were actually like bomber jackets or something, and the style a good 600 years from now has them put ribbons and medals and such on their jacket, and wear that over their uniforms.
This would make the WCATV uniforms of a combination of WC3 and 4 uniforms still work, as the pilots would have a WC3 style uniform on presumably under their jackets. The WC2 uniforms aren't much different, but are perhaps dress uniforms. I haven't really played it in awhile, but I only remember seeing any distinctive uniforms other than when Blair was talking to Tolywn, which seems like a pretty formal situation.
Does any of that make sense? As I said, I didn't include the WCM because the uniforms are SO different from the others, and they're in direct contest with the WCATV uniforms which would have been right around the same time. It seems stupid that they would have those uniforms while Blair was a cadet...then changed them to the WCM style for a short time...only to return to using the other uniforms only a short time later...
