ZionHalcyon is correct, if you DO NOT have the first series of Mitigating numbers in the Novice box, you can not equip that style ofarmor. If you untrain the novice box that grants you the basic mitigators it will strip that armor off you.
Thank you for effectively destroying my roleplay Stormtrooper unit this way...
So now I'm forced to go either melee or carbineer just to put on ST armor....
Can you tell me why on earth you are making it so people can't wear stuff just for looks? This will kill a lot of already scarce roleplay in SWG.
Stormtroopers are the best of the best the Empire has to offer , and are skilled in many weapons.Example: clicky
That shows Stormtroopers carrying T21 rifles. So a Rifleman should also be able to wear ST armor. Please make it so the armor is nothing but plastic if you are not certed for it, because we want to wear what we want and equip whatever weapon we want. This is how it is now, and there is no reason whatsoever to change this system!

If anything, MORE people will be wearing ST armour after the upgrade.
I have been playing since launch and you know how many people I've seen wearing ST in ALL that time?
4.
2 of them were at the same time, in the same place.
That's 4 people wearing ST armour in 2 years.

I think this almost demands a sticky.
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.

Lets assume you are a Master TKA-Commando:
Master Commando gives you max certification for Advanced Assault armor.
Master TKA gives you their defensive built in mitigators.
If you put on your Assault Armor it automatically cancels out the TKAbuilt in mitigators.
If you take off your Assault armor your TKA mitigators again go active.
If you are wearing armor you can still use TKA specials however the armor is where your protection is coming from not the TKA mitigators. Similarly you can have your armor off and pull out the Rocket launcher and the TKA mitigators are active.
The point being you can have one or the other, they justdont stack. It is just like youare not allowedto put on 2 chest pieces.
Gee thanks for limiting me to the a gayest armor in the game. Padded. Well its the helmet that makes it gay. Used to like ubese and tantel but I guess I cant use it. And then there are species constrains that I must deal with now.
I take my hats off to the devs for pidgeon holing the game. Hope they give us a species reroll as well as one for professions. I can't see being a twi'lek combatant after this. Actually after two days on TC5 I can't see myself playing this game at all. Even if I don't cancel its going to be a half baked EQ/WoW clone with SWG skins.

Hmm. The CU seems to be pretty popular these days. Wonder why?

Bio Engineers need armour for sampling creatures, and Doctors need armour because they are now meant to operate on the "front lines" along with combat professions.
On Stormtroopers: The vast majority of Stormtroopers use Carbines, because Carbines are perfect weapons for the job they do. Any troopers you see carrying non-standard weapons will also have Carbine training, the specific example shown was the trooper with a T-21. The T-21 is a Squad Support weapon, the trooper wielding it would take training in that weapon in addition to standard Stormtrooper training, ie, Carbines.

1. Rebel marine armor is about the dumbest looking thing in the word.The boots are cool
2. RIS should have no certs, it fairly tough to get and people probly wont use it all that much anyway.
3. No mention of BH or mado armor
4. How will this affect people switching between melee and ranged professions?

My point was that there never has been any problem for any profession to wear ST armor and equip an E11 or T21 and do some ST roleplay.
Whole PA's were founded around this game system, and communities interact with them on a daily basis. Now that the devs feel they must enforce certifications they way they are going to, a lot of on occasion Stormtroopers ( And my PA has loads of those) are beeing forced to take up skills they do not want/like if they want to be able just to equip a certain type of armor. This might not be a problem for PvP/PvE combat gameplay, but there are loads of people that have entirely different PvP/PvE skills when they are "OOC". And they might not be wanting to change that, so they have to give up "ST-ing" ,so the victimsare most likely going to be the ST roleplayer PA's.

So, given that, does the "Heavy Weapon Defense Bonus" that Commandos get stack with the Unarmed bonus?
