After the Stratics HoC chat today, Helios_SOE stuck around in the #starwars channel and talked quite a bit once the number of people in the room dropped down to a reasonable number. I'm not an armorsmith, but myself and a few others talked with him a bit about the "dumbing" down of Armorsmith experimentation in the CU. After our explaining he seemed to grasp the concept that only a single line to put experimentation points into was a big issue. He asked us how we would like it to be different, and I suggested three lines, one for condition, one for Kinetic/Energy resists, and one for Elemental resists. Who knows if this will lead anywhere, since this was just an informal chat with a dev on IRC, but at least we know that now one Dev is aware of the issue.
I also asked him if Mandalorian, RIS, and BH armor skins would offer some sort of bonus over regular crafted skins, but he said he didn't have any info on that subject.

BEAUTY! I stuck and listened to Tiggs for a few but then needed to get some game time in. Glad someone asked. Thanks a ton.

From what I've seen Helios really seems to be a winner as far as devs go. He's split damage and speed for the WS's, something I've heard them asking for for a long time, he didn't go and mess with all their subcomponent resources, and when he did they were changes to resources that were already collected for something else. He stuck around and talked with you guys afterwards. Sounds like a good guy, we need more of them

I stuck on the chat as well and got a bit of his ear as far as experimenting goes. At least he knows that it is a big concern of ours. I am optimistic in light of the rangers getting a helping hand.

Too bad hes only in charge of weapons, powerups, and commando. We are stuck with blixtev who is about as motivated to help us a stone is to talk.

Helios is great, however he did say this on HOC chat:
""<@Brannoc> *RRR187* How will crafters place harvesters on planets now, since creatures kill low level characters so quickly?
<@Helios_SOE> If you wish to gather resources in dangerous areas, you should either get a PSG or you could also hire some other players to protect you in the wilds. "

Lol so a PSG is now supposed to protect againts melee atackers? what are they now? mandalorian melee shields?!?
and they are forgetting the small factor of level multipliers where 1 hit = kill thing lol
ohh yeah and how could i forget PAYING 500k an hour for escort since the guy willing to follow us around "protecting" us could very well be farming krayts or doing other things with much more profitable venues, hehe armor is about to hit a price skyrocket lol and devs dont know whats gonna hit them when it happens

Lets be fair here. He may not be the most communicative DEV, no slight Blix, but he came with resource cuts today and we have SR back. I am the most cynical person I know of and I refuse to believe that Blix isn't listening. I think he's loaded. I also think some of the AS crew don't make things easy for us,or him. In light of the last 2 changes, I will give him the benifit of the doubt.
