Armorsmith Archive

8. Have armor encumberance/restrictions mean something. Have heavy armor restrict movement and the ability to do as manyspecial moves as well as lower agile defenses, like dodge, melee defense, counterattack.

+ It will make people think twice wether to use armor or not, depending on their preferred style of play

9. Allow everybody to wear any sort of armor (except factional restrictions)even if not certified for it. If he or she is not certified for it, the armor protection just won't work, but they could still wear it. Wearing uncertified armorshould not negate innate armor and still allow Jedi to use their Force powers/lightsaber skills.

+ This would allow for better roleplay through more variety in appearel

+ It will stillprevent uncertified users and Jedi from getting protection from the armor

I wonder if I would jumpin joy or scream in agony...

Although I don't think it would be too late or wrong to discuss this anyway.

One point of concern here is the factional TEF - and the fact that this will kick you from the building as soon as it hits, meaning that it will make crafting factional armour that much more tedious IMHO.
Other than that, some very good ideas there

Ah, I didn't consider that. Perhaps you should have to be overt to- or even be turned overt when you craft factional armor. Perhaps we can finda betterway, though.

I doubt you could put much stock in that. Judging by how many times things changed during JTL beta someone would have to be very foolish to dump stock based on anything discussed in the sandbox so far.

I also would hope that resource requirements wouldn't be changed, at least not drastically.

I'd be thinking that the smith would need to consciouly declare overt to craft factional armour, this way you know exactly what you're getting in for rather than possibly forgetting and winding up overt when you didn't intend to.

not really, I am just unloading and would judge that based on the auction

I have enough hides to make 15000 composite chest plates and like 2-3000 full suits of composite, if I ran factories nonstop I would be running factories for 6 months straight and that isnt how I run my business.

here is the post about my business model

http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=valcyn_trade&message.id=149491&highlight=stock+and+business+model#M149491

I have gotten away from being the mass producing smith so I don't need the resources that I used to

with prices/sales dropping like they have been I realized this: I can work my butt off to do factory runs of 25-45 suits of composite, do the same with ubese, wook armor and the occasional psg run. I have to micromanage 20-30 different resources and compete with SW for miners to get me the latest and greatest resources. Stocking these factory runs is very time consuming and now pricing is becoming an issue with the solo mission nerf.

so...I decided to get out of the how-do-I-stock-and-manage-2000-peices-of-armor type smith to the guy who makes a run when I want to and does most of my business in custom RIS peices.

tons of people have left this game and left their bank accounts to freinds and guildmates. There are plenty of folks running around out there that have cash to spend. I made about 60 mill the last week or so in a few hours of work doing two suits of RIS. It would takeseveral large factory runsof composite to turn in 60 mill.

so....I wouldn't go run out and sell all your resources just yet
