Im not gonna complain about bugs.. there are way to many treads on them as it is..

FINAL EXP..

There is no need for this. Armor crafting is a long process as it is, The final product (after core completion is like tailor) We are coming up with colors for your skin.. nothing more. Sure there is some durra but it would be very easy to implement automatic max durra for your given resources aka if you have stuff that adds up to 90% then it will hit that on assmebly and your go right to color. On a suit this would remove 18 experiments on average and cut down time from 5 mins to about 2 mins per suit.. HUGE people should becomplaing about this more than there one factory run isnt coming out black.. or what ever color they make there suits. If the final combines times where reduced by this lots of people wouldnt complain soo much about how much or a PIA it is to make custom armor. (on a side note.. it really pisses me off when i get a fail on faction and end up with a blown suit cuase the bracer is at 15k durra and the rest is 65k soo not only did i waste one peice.. now i have to pick up a new schem or sell the suit as is.. or peice it out then ya got someone sending you a mail I NEED A BRACER ! just a huge PIA all around.)

HELM CURSE

who is the art dep guy that comes up with these.. Helms could be one of the coolest parts of the suit but man are some of these just god awefull. Rebel recon (cone head syndrom) If i wanted to look like a moncalimari i would have picked there race in the first place. Padded, Oky it looks alright on women but still its not even that great on them. Bone.. ehh this one is borderline but still could definatly use an upgrade. Maurader, this is some pretty nice armor but man another awefull helm. shock trooper. I have yet to meet anyone that likes this helm.. though im sure there are a few. As far as this one goes i would put it last on the list. Mabari, Ehh i feel like im wearing a salad bowl on my head, or a reject fromWW1, With such great helms like Ubese, tantle, comp, reb battle, stormie, reb assault, scout trooper, im not sure how these others made it in.

PALLETS

Oky some pallets are great, Mabari, padded, maurader, wookie assault (though the arms could use an extra pallet or 2 to make um colorable) even composite, these all have graet pallets. soo i wont complain.. But man some need some major work.

Wookie armor, there hunting is great, but cerminonial and black mountian?? these suffer from the well you better want green or tan..(chitin falls into this catagory) Why cant i die it red or purple.I would love a suit of bright red chitin sure you could use the arguement it should blend like camo but come on.. if i want to stick out like a sore thumb in bright red or yellow thats my bussiness right??

Ubese, Yea this pallet is oky.. but it could really use some more colors.. most are just drab. sure there is some great combos, Green/tan. Blue/black. that aqua or wine and a few others but some are just not good at all. The yellows are horible. Complet lack of any brights. The pink is pretty gross too. and the helm. You can only color the front snout peice..whats up with that?

RIS, This one is the worst IMO. the hardest armor in the game to make (next to mando) and arguable the worst pallet. (man battle armor cant catch a break) I get more requests for RIS helms to go with peoples battle suits.. and im stuck with 15 lame colors if i want the suit to match the helm and half are tan and brown.. total bummer.

Bone, Oky great secondary pallet, but i would like a bit more choices on the bone.. though this one is last on my list of dream pallets. Honestly i can live with it as it is.. the colors on the boots, and pants and even arms shows up enough that you can sorta over look the all boring bone color. The suits do still look nice.. ever make a green/orange for a trando? or a gold/red on a zab.. hmm nice looking stuff. But still in my magic wand dream i would add a pallet for coloring the bone.

(added)

Tantel, cant match arm colors to chest and legs : (

well thats it.. not many changes.. and most are just asthetic.. afterall we are the armored tailors of the galaxie.. tailors got there pallet increases.. why cant we : )

oh and

I agree the bugs and what not are annoying but the thing I would love to see is a more complex experimentation process. I mean a trained monkey could produce the armor I do assuming the monkey was as decerning as to the resources he used.

We will never see the old armor system back but it would be nice if we had another exp bar to play with that was worth putting points into. Then we would see some diversity in armor and a 12pt smith would mean something again. Basically add another exp bar for final combine, cores, and segments. Also please make it do something cool so it will be worth the points.

my 2cents

Oky.. did fails go up even more??? i made armor today.. Im dancer buffed, in a crafting city... using a +15 tool and a +45 station, i even have a +25 assemlbly +16 exp.. and some force crafting.. Ive made just over 30 suits an outragoues

3suits worth of blow experments ! ! This is final.. skining a suit.. not some cores.. or making segs.. there is totally NO NEED for this type of rate on final combines.. I honestly could care less about the resources but come on this is tons of time added on to the tons of time i already need to do just to experiement on somthing that you shouldnt have to anyway that in no way effects athe armor other than making it last longer.

fine factory smiths probly dont care about this but i cant belive more people arent in on this issue..had i been making faction armor that would be 3 suits down the drain.. no way is this right
