Thread: Recon Armor

Hi people.
I have just bought two ADKs and want to buy a chest peice and helmet to put them on. The main problem is that I use cybernetic arms and so my choice of torso armor is extremly limited. As i am going to use ADKs on these peices I obviously want them to be of as high a quality as possible. Money is not an issue (I have several million) and if required, I can go out and hunt down whatever componants are required.
What would you all suggest I ask a Master Armorsmith to make for me?

Odds are an experienced smith will not need the resources you are offering as (s)he'll already have top of the line stuff stockpiled. For Recon class and cybernetics you will have to use tantel as that's the only type that has a chest piece that has no biceps attached....... either that or faction armor... that would work too. As for prices, check the "who's who" thread in the stickies for an AS on your server or wander over to your trade forums for a price as it varies from server to server.
Im looking for all round armor really as I dont fight Jedi all that often apart from the odd GCW skirmish and then i tend to be 80m away so I'm relativly safe!
Is there any advantage to factional armor over Tantel? (im Rebel if that makes any differance)

It should have higher condition. That's it. It will cost you a significant number of faction points to put it on.
The best all-around armor choices are probably either battle armor or assault armor backed up by a good PSG. Depends on what you're certified for.

Yeah, that is about it I'm pushing out 64+K condition on Rebel Marine (7K Energy Recon) and I'm not maxing out the condition. It only comes in one color too... and if he is going to ADK it the max condition is not that big of a thing.

Tantel and faction recon-armors have seperate chestplates / arms.
Well, so does wookie and ithorian armors, but I think you're not looking for those 
not seeing as my alt is human.
thankyou for the info it should be very helpfull
a friend of mine had a similar problem.
So he put on the tantel and his other arm bugged out so he was running around with an invisible arm ending in a glove.
Funny to look at especially when he picked up a pistol and started fighting.
I like the idea that you can't wear armour over a cyberarm but you should be able to wear clothing over it.
Silly rules where thats concerned as in all the films the cyberwear is covered by clothes.
