Padded, Marauder Battle, Bone, Kashyyykian Black Mountain, Ithorian Defender, RIS (Quest), Rebel Battle (Factional), Stormtrooper (Factional)

Keep in mind, all this is subject to change. Also, if your profession is NOT listed here (most notably Teras kasi), then you are NOT currently certified for armor. In the case of Teras Kasi, word is they will be getting something like Jedi Robes in the CURB, hence their lack of certification.
Enjoy, and I will edit this as things change (if they do!)

Exactly why I wouldnt take this to heart. Still early in the beta, and like all betas, things change a lot.
Very true. But it does give us a foundation to work off of. The thing is, we need to keep this constructive and not whine. Whining only let's the devs know they are doing their job with the CURB of weeding out the "l33t d00d" powergamers. Constructive criticism however is valued. The key is knowing the difference.

Is it assumed that BH armor is in the same category as Mandalorian armor?
Someone looked in the .TRE files, and it looks like BH armor will be in the same category as mando, but will not be craftable right off the bat. However, based on the notes, it looks like BH armor WILL be craftable in the publish after the CURB.

I know i put this in the other post. All i have to say is i think theMANDALORIAN andRIS should be used by any profession. Just like the KSE Firespray for any master pilot. If you master any elite profession you should be rewarded with the use of either of those 2 armors. I think that would be neat. As far as the other certs go, i'm cool with that if this must occur for balance issues.

Well, I agree with you on RIS - that should be a jack-of-all-trades armor, and the fact anyone (without species interfering) can wear it would only add to its epic status. HOWEVER, I agree in limiting the professions for Mandolorian to Assault types. Sorry, but I just cannot picture a Bio Engineer in Mando armor to protect them from milking an animal. I think its fair that the Mando armor be like that, because it balances continuity with game balance.

That is a joke from you saying we need constructive critcism. God forbid someone would paraphrase you and offer "constructive criticism"because they better put the fllameproof jacket on,
I think you need to read the chapter in the book you recommended to me on "paraphrasing and summation". You may actually get your IQ above freezing.
(this was in reply to the previous thread)
Funny, so far in this thread I have been very constructive, mostly because everyone else, up until YOU, has been constructive. Funny how intelligent points breed intelligent discussion, huh? Now youcan flame away, because you just want to cry about the CURB. Just do it elsewhere - this is for armorsmiths to discuss certification, not the "cry that SWG is becoming EQ in space" thread.

Now to the discussion at hand: as a crafter with semi-decent armor and only Pistols 3, am I right in assuming that I will only be able to wear a PSG?
Message Edited by Liamo on 04-05-2005 03:22 AM
What, actual intelligent questions? Say it isn't so! Well, since you quit whining for a couple paragraphs, I would be more than happy to answer those questions. Yes, you will only be able to wear a PSG, not you will not be able to wear your marine armor without getting novice in a profession that supports the armor, and for the increased spawn on safe planets, you will have to interact with some people to help clear out animals around factories, or join a city that has factories within its non-spawn border, and not out on the edges where spawns can creep in. Don't forget, I am a crafter too (MAS), and I have factories that are on the edge of a city, and I got ganged up on recently by carrion spats and Wrix's. But you know what? I am not complaining about it - you live out in the wild, there are wild things out there. Hows that for immersion? Time to make some friends. Or you can always hop on a swoop or burst run to lure them away. There are always other methods.
And then there is your last paragraph - love the whining. Complain somewhere else. Keep this constructive.

I apologize if this has already been adressed, but I would like to know about the rifleman who picks up novice commando. Will he then be allowed to wear assault armor (ie composite) while using his rifle? For example, an ADK'ed composite chest plate with a few very nice rifle mods sold on my trade forum the other day, and I want to know if this guy just spent a ton of cash on a soon to be worthless item, or if he can just pick up novice commando and be fine.
If players can pick up novice commando/BH, etc, then I think that we will see some template shifting until folks get comfortable wearing something other than composite armor.
Second, how do certifications work for the grinding AS? Will he still have to wait until he gets to master to make composite armor, or will he get the certification for all assault armor at once, and the same thing for battle and recon?
Yes, they will be able to wear Assault armor with Novice commando. In terms of certs for AS, the only difference between the current system and the new one is bone armor is moved up to novice Armorsmith, and there 3 kinds of core crafting have also been added.

That was a question of mine. So does this mean we're assuming armor certifications will be granted in the Novice box of each profession??

So say i'm fencer/bh does this mean I can do bounty's in RIS?
Yes you can, since fencer gives you certification in RIS.
