Just an idea to be able to have 2 kind of loadout, or way to equip a loadout: eather as a gear one, with weapons, seraphinx, armor and shield, or as a costume loadout, only equiping the defined armor/shield as a costume (would support costume and shield costume too).
This would make emphase one of the current SK gameplay: build yourself a nice looking costume. It would help people have several, and be a little less tiresome to switch gear between mission without changing your skin.

Just a small feature idea
