So the general consensus between all the people I have been surveying is to keep the accessories the way they are now in the game. So I will do just that. Now that it has been settled I can add in stats for the individual accessories. As this was already coded in the backend there isn't much work to do. Just to create a basic UI to display them and tidy up the code that is already there.
This should take no more than a few days so expect this update to be out by the end of the weekend. Possibly even before that. Just want to pad the estimate in case of unexpected bugs! ;)
