True but even the ratios matter. Say you are rebel and the score on Tat is 50 imp vs 100 reb and the score on Naboo is 25 imp vs 100 rebel, You will get a better deal on Naboo.






Wow, I didn't know that.
I thought winning was winning. I'll change the text.

that might be true for getting the schematic, but I doubt it will work for bio-linking armor.



BTW: you'd think smiths would get a fp reward for making armor for their side, not have to spend fp...

How does existing armor come out? I have a few suits of ST armor lying around and was curious how they'll turn out.

Wow. 19k faction points for Humans. Looks like no one will be fighting in there faction armor. AGAIN!

I was gonna say are the devs idiots? But we all know the answer to that.

Yeah The schems I bought were 14k. I don't remember what the score was other than Naboo was imp at the time. Assuming someone could buy the fp for 100 cr/fp that is still +140k on the cost of a suit.

This is laughable at best. You mean to tell my that even the people who already have the Armor are going to be double dipped for FP to the tune of 19,000FP? This really angers me since I am a ST Role-player and require the Armor to remain wiht my PA.

It hurts my whole PA if they do this from the newer guys like me who just got our armor to the old hands who been RPing stormtroopers for a long time.

lets get the Devs to deduct 5% per rank to these costs for the player and the AS


lets make rank have a real impact here this is a perfect place to do it

Cool, i was just curious, but i'm worried it'll cost a lower ranking person more.....which it might .


Oh, and were there any racial modifiers, ie human/zabrak, etc.?

So in effect it will cost the customer between 2.2 to 3 mill to buy and wear faction armor.
Yeah...great...I forsee a lot of people forking up that kinda cash for armor every few weeks...no wait I don't.

/sigh
And I was really looking forward to seeing more people in ST armor running about fighting.
