"Earn a unique suit skin for each first win of the day in TRIBES 3 for 1 year."

Sounds like they are purchasable DLC like a battlepass where you unlock a new skin per day for the first win of a match that day.

There are way more shown on the steam store, but I attached some of them to look at.

See you guys in game!

*UPDATE* 6/27/2024

https://www.tribes3rivals.com/news/trib ... yer-update

Prophecy Studios posted a Tribes 3 player update promising account credits earned for their upcoming game Ultra Strikers - via any money players have spent towards weapon and player skin packs inside Tribe 3: Rivals.

They also had this to say about the future of Tribes 3.

These credits are meant to give back to players who supported us in early development. We’re doing our best to support TRIBES 3 with limited updates (along with an upcoming discount sale to bring in more players), and plan to return to Starsiege Deadzone once the company has the resources, but unfortunately neither game had enough success yet to support the studio and can’t be our main development focus right now (as much as we love them).

Thank you for your support. Going forward, we’ll continue to focus on updating existing games as much as we can, while creating new games players enjoy. We love making games, we love playing games, and thanks again for giving our games a shot and being part of the community!
