Thread: Mabari/Tantel proection + Cybernetics
I had read that they changed some wookiee armor to make arms wearable. Are they planning on changing the Ubese and Mabari too? Otherwise, it seems that Tantel is the only non-factioned recon armor that can be used with cybernetic arms.

Why? this would be way down on my list of things to fix.
At least there is one non factioned armor than can be worn, Wookies had none before the fix, thats why it was fixed. Remember this only applies to the chestplate. You can wear ubese pants and helm plus tantel chestplate if you want an ubese look (determined by helm really when you think about it) with cybernetic arms. Same is true for Mabari. Tantel has one ofthe biggestcolour palettes anyway and looks very cool with the cyber arms.
I'm not sure if its just me but Tantel and the Bestine cyborg arm seem to be bugged for me.
They cyborg arm is attached to my left arm but when I try to equip Tantel on my right arm it disappears from sight, My whole arm goes! I had to put on gloves so people could see I actually had something there.
When I take the Tantel Off it comes back but when its on it just looks like hole in my shoulder socket and "thing" from the Adams family is holding my gun while floating around.
I'm a male zabrak too incase that help.

How about Mabari? Is it also a 9 piece suit now?
It sometimes staggers me when all the answers to these questions are in the stickies at the top of the armorsmith board. If I want to go find out about a weapon, I check out those stickies at the top of the weaponsmith board first.
Sorry I flipped out there for a moment 
Ok, forgetting about gloves and boots as they are common to all and are just a waste of space IMHO, no sockets, just for looks, use clothing boots and gloves for a good look plus sockets or even pre nerf armor boots and gloves that have saa sockets.
Tantel 7 piece suit, chest, pants, helm, 2 bracers, 2 biceps
Ubese 5 piece suit, chest, pants, helm, 2 bracers (chest is basically chest+biceps)
Mabari 3 piece suit, chest, pants, helm (chest is basically chest+biceps+bracers)
They all use the same amount of resources, ubese and mabari chests have additional resource requirements compared to tantel chests to ensure same total amount of resources.
Loki, not sure what is going on with your issue. You can't wear bracers,biceps with the arms, basically only chestplates from a 7 piece suit, is that what you are trying to do?

It is listed in the schematic post, just not in so many words. You'd just have to know that when it doesn't list the bracer/bicep, those are part of the chest piece.
Anyway, you can't wear the cyber arms with Mabari/Ubese chest plates. You can wear them with Tantel. You can also wear them with the Rebel Marine (Recon) armor, as it is a 9 piece suit.
As the other poster said, "Complete CU AS schematics..." has the info you require but not spelt out, you need to make a minor deduction
Namely, If the mabari appearance schematics only list chest,helm,pants,gloves and boots then its not an error on the part of the author, bracers and biceps don't exist and hence as pre CU the mabari chestplate covers biceps and bracer slots.
All of the final appearance schematics are listed there.
You cannot wear armor over the cybernetic arms at all, if the armor covers the arm sections then you can't wear it while having the arm on. No clever tricks with wearing mabari etc.
Thanks Kreen, My problem just seems to be graphical I think but to try to explian it better....
My cyborg arm is my left arm, of which I can't wear armour as the arm has its own armor built in.
On my RIGHT arm I equip my Tantel bracer and bicep and my right arm disappears, I have to put on gloves for my hand to appear.
It only seems to be Tantel as my Rebel Assault works fine with my right arm appearing like it should.
Other people notice my arm gone so it's not just on my computer.
I my INV the right bicep and bracer registar as being equiped, I haven't tried to test if they take damage though to see if the server registars them as being there yet.
I have tried swaping undergarments and other things that my Male Zabrak wears but it seems to be directly related to the tantel bicep and bracer and the cyborg +5 ranged +5 Ranged Acc arm that you get from the little guy in Bestine.
