Yuck, ok thanks. I was hoping it would have a 1.5 or 2x multiplier like faction and RIS.

Sadly with those energy stats.... unbelieveably... this armor will be somewhat unattractive to the average BH as there marks generally use energy weapons.
Hmm,I would have thought that your average BH wants this no matter what the stats are for the posing value alone. Until of course every man and his dog is wearing it.
People manage fine with unlayered battle armor, 6000 across the board, I have made several primus layered RIS suits for BH customers for jedi hunting. The extra couple of percent you get on energy layered recon certainly helps a bit but other factors like your template and tactics play a bigger part I think.

The thing is, the schematics seem to drop about every 3rd to 5th guy, so they are not as rare as RIS, and they don't require a sick amount of faction to equip.
So actually, about 50k condition is fair.

Certainly strategy counts... but so does armor and every little bit counts...
I would also think that this suit will command a fairly good primium..
As for posing value LOL.... maybe...
I guess it all depends on what the price will be for a complete suit...
Any guesses? What would you charge?
Yes agreed, sometimes every little bit does count, folks are always looking for any small edge.
If the customer was supplying the schematics then I would charge my standard RIS price of 100-200K per piece depending on the type of core they want. This price is based on the core materials, my time, and that fact that I would be using server best resources in the final combine and using my gathered skill clothes, FS crafting skillsand food/drink to ensure no mistakes on what are after all 1 use schematics.
If I were selling crafted pieces, then the above price would have an adder to take account of the price I paid for the schematics or the time it took based on drop rates etc for me to gather them with my BH alt. These are unknowns at present, so its difficult for me togive a price
. As a comparison, if a customer wants RIS and I supply the loot thenI charge 800K per piece.

But RIS loot is a joke to get now...yes schems drop, but getting a full set of schems seems to be more of pain in the arse than getting RIS loot based on impressions from the BH board and trade forums.

Well maybe, but these are 1 use schematics. I can go visit lok and yavin and pretty much guarantee that in a few hours I will have gathered enough RIS loot to make at least one suit since the loot drops quite frequently and it comes in stacks of multiple items.
Took me about 1 hour last night to do 3 BH missions and I looted 2 schematics. I think I was lucky based on other posts I have seen so my guess is 1 in 3 sounds more reasonable we will see I guess.
If the schematic was 3 use then I would agree with you. Since its one use I think it should have at least the 1.5 multipler faction has. Moot point anyway, because theres a long list of things I would want the devs to address rather than this. Maybe, they can do this as part of a condition rebalance across the armor range to remove the anomalies such as very high wookie chestplates even though the biceps and bracers are separate now, a boost for mabari chestplates and ubese chestplates since they cover multiple hit boxes etc.
