Liking the look of those reflective ones.
As for the clears, its difficult to choose. I'm somewhat inclined to say smokey and leave the slightly rose tinted ones for Pace and the NPCs. You know, something to keep them unique but at the same time give players something similar. Kinda like what happened with the Area K coat.

I love the suits.
More glasses is always a good thing. I like all three varieties, actually.

Smoked glasses for the Valkyr please! The Rest of the glasses to us!!!  Valkyr looks better without the clear glasses for sure! It takes away their powerhouse feel when you can see their eyes too much.  Mirrored shades OMG is that possible to have female mirror shades that buffed now?!! o.O *giggles* Need to buff the Voids too then won't ya?

Weird, it only happens when dxt compression is added in. Huh. Nice thing is that it avoids that aliased edging you get on the completely clear glasses.
Now *three* new pairs of glasses is something my current quest's scheme doesn't fit comfortably. Hm... What to do, what to do...
I think because any dxt, other than a dxt1, packages itself as containg an alpha channel, so even if it's left blank and asked not to use any bits to store data, it is still trying to be accessed by the rest of the file.
A 3Dc may may be of use, which works best with a dxt5, as it helps create lighting on an otherwise matte surface - a lack of which may be creating the "mirrored" effect on the shades. Yeah, it's probably something like that. Little quirk comes in handy in cases like this. Dxt and a couple more obscure ones are the only compression schemes our engine supports, though.
Goodness only knows what this will do to Vista.

Personally I would like the clear glasses. I had been meaning to catch up on some reading.
The mirrored ones are something my daughter would like as well.

Clear glasses -- YESH! I've been hoping for clear glasses: Sieges is supposed to be one of those geek types who's as blind as a post without her glasses. As she puts it: "I can hack into a secure server in five minutes, jump over a tall building in one leap, pistol-whip into submission a guy a foot taller and two times heavier than I am, but if I lose my glasses, I can't see a dang thing!"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einherjar
In Norse religion, the einherjar or einheriar were spirits of warriors who had died bravely in battle. From Old Norse, the name means "one-harrier" (herja meaning "to harry / lay waste" . Thus it can be interpreted as "one-army-ers", "one-man-army", "army of one", or "outstanding fighter", but might also signify "those who are all [now] in one army", because when alive on earth they were in various armies and bands, but now they are all in the Army of the Dead. After they die, the valkyries escort half of the slain from the battlefield to Valhalla (these are the "einherjar", which is part of Asgard (commonly described as the "Norse Heaven"; the other half went to Fólkvangr (Freyja's hall). The Grímnismál describes Valhalla as having five hundred and forty doors, and through each of them, eight hundred could march abreast (a hundred, hundrað, in Old Norse could mean either 100 or 120), indicating the size of the hall and the numbers of the einherjar. From that line that is in blod and under lined the white halls can play a roll in the quest that Rarebit is making for the Valkyrajs, cause the whit halls have many doors and Valhalla is describe to have 540 of them. heh either way i cant wait to see what's there story is about.

I can say in all honesty that I'm really looking forward to this one. Hopefully the story is as cool as the eye effect. Definitely a perpetual to gun for.

Can't wait, big fan of the mythological references in the Matrix in general.
