As long as you don't talk to them, you should be fine.
If an Ordinator sees me with that helmet but I don't talk to him, then I unequip it and talk to him, his disposition won't be ruined by what he saw before?
EDIT: Yep, that seems to be the case. I can dance striptease with the tune 'You Can Leave Your Indoril Hat On' in front of an Ordinator, then take it off and talk to him and he still likes me very much (who wouldn't).
Thanks guys.
