Covert Energy Helmet - Make Money AND Make Players Happy

[Xina_LA]

People have been asking for an option to hide hoods for some time.

All the chest armor pieces already have a hoodless graphic created -- that's why they work if you play a race with lekku or horns.

The hood also disappears if you put on an armor helmet, but then you're stuck with a helmet when you don't want anything at all.

Sadly, most of the options for headbands and googles that hide the hood don't seem to work anymore, at least when I tested it earlier today.  Plus, you might not want a headband.

There is already a piecemeal Covert Energy armor set.  (By piecemeal, I mean you have to buy 3 things in the Cartel Market to get all the pieces.)

It doesn't have a Head piece, but if it did, VOILA!  Hoods are hidden, everyone can see their pretty hair, and no UI changes required.

Plus, if it sells in the Cartel Market, that's $$$ for SWTOR.

Please add a Covert Energy Helmet to the Cartel Market so that we can hide our hoods.  Thanks!

The Covert Energy (CE) helmet is an inferior solution because:

1. The CE helmet would hide hoods until the character went into a helmet-hiding cutscene, at which point the hood would reappear.

2. The CE helmet does not solve the issue where some people want to be able to wear Kallig's Countenance with a hood visible (it currently hides hoods).

3. The CE helmet does not solve the issue where some people want to be able to wear Helmet X (e.g. the Eradicator's Mask or the Silent Ghost helmet) with a hidden hood.

4. More generally, the CE helmet does not allow the player to have a *specific* visible helmet with a *choice* of hood visibility.

A hood-visibility toggle solves all the above problems.
