Zion,


GOOD question...I have six (6) full suits of RIS I have made myself over the past several months...some with awesome +25 acc/spd mods (rifle/pistol/carbines).


If I have to turn in ALL of my hard work, AFTER I went ahead and got novice carbines just to wear the stuff, after all the other AS nerfs we are being subjected to, I am gonna scream

Hopefully they will do something like with previous big patches and make a test center that was cloned from a live galaxy. The smiths from that galaxy can then report on what happened during the conversion.

They almost have no choice but to do this because the conversions are going to be so complex. Not just existing armor and armor components, but also: weapons, weapon components, skill re-specs for anyone who has any boxes in an elite combat profession, etc.

Please say the latter, because I know too many people, including myself, who have worked hard on our RIS suits, and even ADK'ed them, and giving an ADK'ed piece of RIS to a NPC and 1) Not getting a finished converted piece of armor in return, and 2) Possibly as well not getting the ADK back would be HORRIBLY upsetting.







i would like an answer, i have a full adk ris suit. i don't care if i have to delete the ris,i don't want to lose 9 adk

Indeed - I just want the RIS to be converted over with everything else, or at the least I want a dev to come in here and tell us what will happen, so I can at least prepare, and suspend production of RIS until after the CURB. It just makes no sense to me that crafted armor isn't going to be auto-converted like everything else, even it is is RIS.







ALL armors will be converted. RIS will be converted AND have an option for you to break it down into the RIS Segment if you so wish. This basically gives you double the lifetime out of the piece OR if you are unhappy with the conversion the chance to have it remade by a smith. Mando will also get the special break down option as well.


Regardless of the extra breakdown option all Armor will be converted otherwise it would not work correctly post conversion

ok, what if its anti decay. will the break down into a ris segment give you back the anti decay kit? if it breaks down into a segment, looks like you will need the gdk scale and resources to rebuilt it. since resources requirements are changing, all the good resources that people have been collecting are useless. so the likely hood of rebuilding for a better piece is slim or none.

When you say break it down into the RIS segment what does that mean exactly. We will get the rares (GDK Scale, Wolla Bones, and Gurk Hides) back, or will we just get an RIS segment back? Also what about enhancers we used to make the armor? I used some damn nice NS Layers and NS Shards as well as some 6% yellow cubes when I had my interwoven made less than a month ago. I spent a long time putting together these things and I don't want to just see them lost because I get a bad deal on the conversion. My suit is all either 80%/80% or 80%/90% pieces with extremely low encumberance. I would hope it would be as nice a suit after the CU.

And what about the armors we already have


My chest plate is worth 10 mill to me any chance it could be converted into a Advanced padded (from composite) now that i will be unable to wear composite on live?


Or should i just accept that what i used 10 mill to get hunting meat for a long time is now more or less useless to me?

I bet it just becomes a core and then you can do whatever you want with it in the appearance stage. good solution IMHO

It sounds like you get a core or a set of cores that can be used to remake the peice of armor plus the GDK scale. I am assuming that the bones and hide are used to make the core, so no need to get those back. The enhancers like the apperence enhancers and bio enhancers can then be added in to remake the peice, since stats are based off the core and not the final piece. Sounds like we get stuck with the stats either way though.


I am guessing also the low HAM many excellent pieces have is out the door is HAM cost itself is out the door.
