Very clear statements from developers (Kurt "Thunderheart" Stangl) that the primary purpose of Mandalorian armor is to resist lightsabers. It was acknowledged that the Mandalorian armor currently on TestCenter has a vulnerability to lightsaber damage.

If you get a chance, could you also ask him if there's any plans to allow Mandalorian to be "crafted" in more than one color? Apparently, as it stands right now all Mandalorian comes out looking exactaly the same. The color palettes must be in there, since NPCs are able to wear Manda armor in a variety of colors. Also, if you do get a chance, ask him if there's any plans to make BH armor drop in more than one color. Again, the color palettes must be in place, because NPCs have BH armor in a wide variety of colors, but as for players, all BH armor that drops is the exact same grayish color. And finally, it would be nice to know if there's any plans to add sockets to Mandalorian armor when it is "crafted". Right now it comes out with no sockets, which makes it less competetive against other armors. Its also a real let down to players who want to try to put together a "gadget filled" suit of Mandalorian, since the only currentway to simulate that with in game mechanics is to put skill enhancing attachments into your armor.

Oh, further point. I'm not sure if this is news or not, but only Master BH, Master Commando, Master Ranger and Master Squad Leader will be able to use Mandalorian armor.

Sounds like the Jedi are pretty safe. It's going to take more that lightsaber resistant armor for a MBH/MC/MR/MSL to kill a high level Jedi. That's coming from someone who is one of Ahazi's oldest bounty hunters with multiple Jedi kills.

High level Jedi (Knights) will have to fear the oposing Jedi Faction. If they wish to rise past padawan there is a voting / duel (depending on what side they are on) system in order to advance up the Jedi Knight Tree.

Jedi Knights will be Overt 100% of the time.

I'd post more but you can see the Jedi forums soon as their corrispondant was there taking notes / asking questions.

Craftable faction armor otw also.
