Either some special PSG (which works in melee/kinetic) or an armour that give moderate protection. Make it so it can't be stacked with any other armor including TK/Jedi innate armor. It could be pve only.
Or give us an armored vehicle that we can drive around surveying/taking care of harvesters etc. Hmm I like that suggestion even better.

A bigger issue is that with this new lvl system anything out there about lvl 10 or more will one hit incap a crafter with no combat skills..... The days of the pure crafter may be at an end.

you are correct the armor doesn't have a significant effect at reducing damage as it does on live your combat lvl is what has the major effect reducing damage by a long way. So even if we did get an armor cert if we came a cross a creature even 5 lvls up above us we would more then likely die. Unlike now where 80% kinetic comp does mean that 80% of the kinetic damage is reduced even if you have no combat abilities. This is a major worry for me as it does have wide spread implications for our profession but then again until we get some solid figures we can't attempt to gauge the overall effectiveness at various lvls, group and ugrouped, with armor and without.

I haven't done much reading on the CU as it relates to crafters, so forgive me if my ignorance is showing here...
But am I reading this right? Not only can pure crafters NOT wear any armour but with the new combat system they haven't really got a prayer of surviving a surveying expedition?
If this is true, how the hell are we supposed to be able to do our jobs?

Its true. The only Dev response has been that we'll have to hire people to protect us when surveying on tough planets. Of course, I don't think it'll take a tough planet to kill me. With this level system, a bet a spineflap could kill me with a few hits.

Yeah I am so going to hire a commando to follow me around for 5 hours whileI survey different planets. Not a chance in hell anyone would even agree to it.

Good lord, you have GOT to be kidding me! You know, I was all in the devs' boat with the new direction the game was taking, but this is just about the most asinine design decision in an MMO I have ever seen. This will make playing a pure crafter pretty much impossible.
And for the record... not even hiring a "bodyguard" will help if you have to survey a tougher planet like Lok, Dathomir or Yavin. Having a bodyguard won't stop one-shot deaths.
This is unbelievably stupid...
