I know that I remember, in the movies at least, most of the shielding in Star Wars was done through the use of shield generators, not armor. At least, if there was armor, it was factional (which I'd like to see player craftable, but that's another issue).
Anyhow, hypothetical question here, not suggesting anything, just wondering how you all feel. What would you say if they added some vulnerabilites to composite, maybelowered how high the resists get on it, and made shield generators stop shifting resists, allowing them to have around 10k condition on average?
2 points of view, 1, do you think it's better for balance reasons (composite does seem a bit strong now)? 2, do you think it would make the game more Star Warsy (not everyone running around in full composite). Once again, just looking for opinions, I'm not actually suggesting this, just wondering how armorsmiths feel about the current state of composite. And I'd like to see shield generators be more prevalent, since that's what I think of in Star Wars for armor.

I definatly want to see shield gens fixed. If they actaully worked then I could easily see myself not wearing armor at all. I think this would surly help give the game a more genuine feel.
BTW Composite does have a vulnerability, Stun.

10k is alittle high fer me,.heh,.maybe half that. I am one of those psg only smiths atm and while business is not flying off the shelf or lucrative,..I get a nice steady better than average income and a casual way to play since I dont have to get crazy wooly or whatever named resource.
I do wish they'd fix psgs, though, as well,.and heck,.if they nerf comp, then yeah,..psg business would go up. I'd also like to see some kind of graphic when ewuiping a shield gen. Like, maybe a faint transparent bubble around you or a simple flash of it whenever you get hit, that way you'd visually see if it's working!
Take it further and make a new item for vehicles, like speeder shields,.droid shields,factional turret..etc. At least overts won't have to worry as much about getting thier 40k swoop blown up, heh.
While we're being hypothetical here, imagine a shield gen, specifically for Squad leaders that can encompass her whole group or some radius!
k,.enough for now,.
peace
