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







Thanks for that information Blixtev. I have a additional question/concern.



I have made a suit of RIS that is pretty lightweight, some of the experimentation went into encumbrance. I have also began placing skill mods and ADK's into it since I plan on using it as my primary armor (I want to look cool, lol).


Now since Encumbrance experimentation is going away, if my RIS converts "badly" and I desire to break it down and remake it, will I be out that ADK and the Armor attachments?



Thanks

I would also like to know how these will convert.... i made a suit with RIS layers (3%, -7/-7/-7) and top-notch NS shards that only has like 210/185/147 total encumbrance... its now loaded with camo tapes and rifle tapes for my ranger/rifleman alt..... am I basically going to be stuck with sub-par 80 kin 65 base RIS? (all unsliced)

Hmm... There are still RIS segments in the CU? So the RIS appearance will not only take armor cores but also RIS schems (interwoven RIS schems too?) plus the normal RIS loot?

hmm interesting that you caught that... maybe he interchanged the words and it becomes a RIS core? since we all know cores make armor and not segments now

Blixtev, can you tell us how "braking down" armor will effect the adk on it?

How about attachment inserted in armor? if you break down the armor will you get back AAs as well?


I personally think that you should be able to break down all armor into compoents (especially AAs). Many of us have inserted good AAs into our armour and with the armor certification changes we might no longer be able to wear our old armor (and it might be hard to trade since composite can onyl be used by a few professions),

If we break the RIS down will we get back the rare used items: GDK scale, woolmander bone and gurk hide?

Oh yeah, and while you are explaining the conversion, what about the attachments as well, or are we going to get

the shaft on those as well?

i try it here because blixtef has already posted in that thread and hopefully has the thread subscribed

i (unfortunately) have a bothan character. bothan chars cant wear a mandalorian helmet (also no ris, no stormtrooper). i already asked a csr if he knows if it is supposed to be changed so wearing helmets makes more sense after cu but he said i need to wait for a dev post in the forum about that (and wished me luck for that ;-). when the answer is no and it is the way it is now (no mando helmet, no ris, no stormtrooper) i need to delete my 1 1/2 year old character in order to make a human or zabrak what i dont want but when im forced to need do it and grind him back to my template (what a waste of time...)
is there a chance to tell us if that will change after cu ? i dont think its a to sensitive question so i hope you could answer.
