A new way to identify the class of a Dragoon. Such as an apprentice has the normal tan belt, and the Dragoon Master has a Dark Black Belt. Sort of a way to signify combat ability much like Martial Arts belts.
I rather dislike this idea. Respect through the squad should be just that, the class system is great, I like it, but expressing it through belt colors, I hate. Respect for a higher class ranking should be within the group of people lucky enough to know it, it shouldn't be expressed through belt colors to the rest of the covain force where people who are not apart of the Dragoons would know. Without the belt colors and ranking, it creates a small bit of mystery with Dragoons, which I find rather appealing. So, I would give this an "Thumbs Down."
