    I think that there should be an in-game Hat editor
    Where when you collect the right stuff you go to the right crafting station and it brings up an editor grid that allows you to make your own hat

    Why not a hat pixel editor? a small program you can make your hat pixel by pixel, and later share your creation with all the comunity like Spore

    I don't feel like enough people would be interested, maybe combined with a system where you can have a base or not, attach certain parts and re-color or edit pixels for appearance.

    This is a great idea! People would have a lot of fun with walking around with a custom-made turtle on their head. Another idea that I think would be good to this is having the ability to upgrade your custom hat to give more defense etc...

    A little and simple editor inside the game, you can create your vanity helmets pixel by pixel and and share your creations with friends something like:

    The images for the procedurally generated, and the tiered clothing and equipment will likely be editable from within the data files for the game anyway, if you want to add something new, you can probably just give it it's own unique filename.

    Just a random thought: Would be interesting to see if you can break the game by making an image that's too big, but even if it doesn't crash the game itself, who would wear a hat that fills the entire screen (apart from TF2 players perhaps :p)

    Except not Microsoft Paint because that's horrible, and with a better color palette but I think everyone gets the gist.

    not all people know to do this and the idea is make the things easy to all, like APB reloaded with the editors, also you can create lots of helmets and share with others, about the size problem of course will be a restriction size/number of pixels

    Kind of negates the idea of having one of the preorder bonuses for the $500 tier be for the purpose of making your own hat.
    Don't get your hopes up.

    You can always mod in a bunch of hats. :iswydt:

    I personally feel that this idea would be very productive and creative, I think they should approve of the idea but make it vanity only. Collecting to craft vanity items is an achievement all on it's own while the preorder bonus could be for actual gear with stats. If the gear would be 'offensive', they can make the vanity visible to friends only.

    If this isn't in the game I hope someone makes a mod for it...

    the main reason that this idea will not work well is because of the people who will abuse it with inappropriate things. :confused:

    ^ Basically, this. People running around with giant penis heads can ruin the game rather quickly.

    I wouldn't mind it personally (only adds to the hilarity), but it obviously wouldn't be child friendly.

    This is a sandbox game with a block building system. It's already very open to abuse, especially with the paint tool. That's no reason to not implement a great idea. :)

    This would kinda diminish the pre-order design-your-own-hat thingy.
    Would make a bunch of people mad.
    And, of course the difficulty to implement vs the usefulness, the possibility for shit and game-ruination and dick hats.
