Flex me up
We were just planning a small update this time, but as usually happens, things started to grow a little. The emphasis has been on more tools to control your outfit and wardrobe, both in terms of quality of life and life choices for your character. You can now wear hoods over beanies, carry your coat if you get too hot, wear pendants if you neck is otherwise concealed and a whole bunch more. And, of course, you can now get the all-important bong from Electric Ali (yes, it's been teased for a *long* time...)
On the note of wardrobes and outfits, there are a lot of new clothing items waiting to be released -- over 100 in total. The original plan was to release the vast majority these in one large update, along with a lot of changes to the wardrobe system to allow more flexible outfits. We're now planning on releasing all these over time, along with incremental improvements to the system, where possible. This includes underwear, jewellery, choices such as wearing a top open or closed, and more. We'll also be overhauling things such as the perceived temperature given by each type of clothing.
Part of this was the new requirement to have an app running on your phone to connect to the comms headset. This was a little confusing for some players, but the point was not to introduce extra faff. It's a necessary change to support more different items being able to connect in this way, such as the new motorcycle helmet. This way we can add a single "hands free" bonus instead of having bonuses from different items potentially stack in ways that didn't make sense.
In other news, the big vehicle update is very close now. Very close. We've also got new *Banshee* in the works, more content for some existing storylines, body modification and more. Plus, of course, the badlands.

Put the Neural interface into its own tab.
Put Vehicle controls into the left hand interface area.
More "small item" slots now require Current stash.
- But they'll all work in a changing room either way.
New Pendants slot.
- This will appear if you've got any suitable items.
Hoods are now in a new Hoods slot and can be worn over some other headgear..
Some headgear items have been moved into a new slot: Caps and beanies.
- Some outfits might need tweaking.
The Head harness is now in Accessories, but doesn't contribute to the limit.
You can now wear a full face mask over the Head harness for a different effect.
Changed how manicures work (you now get a long term effect).
You can now wear Ann's necklace in the Neck slot as well as concealed.
You can now carry your outerwear if you want to take it off and don't have a vehicle with you.
Three more clothing items to buy, plus one on general release that was only previewed before.
Some additional clothing tweaks.
You can now buy and use a Fancy bong.
You can now get various things stolen when entering prison (as per being pick pocketed).
Made some other tweaks when entering prison.
Having stuff stolen now respects Current stash properly.
You can now bundle Angel Rain and Designer amphetamines.
Working on supply packets no longer reduces Current stash.
More performance improvements.
Tweaked slot tabs layout to make it more compact.
Limit the width of the main panel on larger screens.
- This should make things easier to read and give more space for undocking and parking info panels.
Fixed missing Glare reduction on the Deep hood.
Fixed sometimes not being able to change Accessory items in a changing room.
Fixed some more bugs and typos; thanks for the reports.
