Ship Uniform and Livery

During Official Operations, XSF CMDRs are expected to maintain at least one (and optionally more) ships conforming with our livery regulation. XSF operations expect participating ships to meet such guidelines. XSF CMDRs are free to have any other number of “civilian” ships (used outside of official ops, not required to conform to this standard.)

You can join official Ops out of Uniform, but will not receive operations experience credit without it.

Official Operation ships are required to conform to the following:

Regulations to follow

  • Use a Tactical Graphite / Grey, Midnight Black (matte), or Void Black (lustre) paint job.
    • Tactical Graphicte is the cheapest option and recommended.
      Midnight Black is good. Void black is acceptable but not entirely recommended as its shimmer is notably different than the other matte paintjobs.
    • [Exception] Python Mk II may use default Skin, as its actually more black than the Tactical Graphite option
  • Be named “XSF [ship name]” and be registered on the official active duty ship registrar, which is where ship IDENT# will also be assigned. Ident should be AXC-[Assigned_Ident_#] or SAR-(same). Choose tasteful ship names, in the spirit of a professional force.
    Xeno Strike Force Ship Registrar
  • [Optional] White Ship IDs and Ship Names (plain without top/bottom lines, the ones from the “classic” pack)
    • Ship ID only OR Names + IDs BOTH
    • Note: If ship ID only is used, these should go into the first two slots (SHIPID1 and SHIPID2), NOT in all 4 slots, and not in NAMEPLATE1 and NAMEPLATE2
  • There are no rules on in-cockpit customization. Feel free to customize your cockpit as desired.

Not permitted

  • No Ship Kits allowed
  • No Decals allowed
  • No Engine Trail Colors (reserved for WingLeaders)
  • No Weapon Colors (reserved for WingLeaders)

CMDR Avatar Uniform

During Official Operations, XSF CMDRs are expected to maintain at least two (and optionally more) suits conforming with our livery regulation: a flight suit and a dominator suit. XSF operations expect participating CMDRs to meet such guidelines. XSF CMDRs are free to have any other number of “civilian” suits (used outside of official ops, not required to conform to this standard.)

Active Duty CMDRs are required to:

Regulations to follow

  • Equip a solid black Flight-Suit load out when not actively operating on-foot
  • Wear “solid black” flight helmet with Flight-Suit, no transparent glass
    • [Note: you’ll need to switch “emergency only” to “always on” in holo-me for the helmet to display in “social” settings such as stations, carriers, etc.]
  • Use the default Dominator Suit setup during on-foot combat operations
    • [Note: We recommend that Active Duty CMDRs own a G3 Dominator Suit (which can be store-bought for credits, although it might take some luck in finding one for purchase]
  • [Optional] White colored shoulder-patches
    • Only combat/explo/trade/merc/exobio-rank related patterns
  • There are no rules on weapon customization; feel free to customize these as you see fit
  • There are no rules on Artemis and Maverick suits, as these are considered “civilian” outfits

Not permitted

  • No additional Clothing over the black Flight-Suit for space
  • No ARX cosmetics over the Dominator Suit
