Maybe this has been mentioned before, but it seems that alot of people are upset they will not be able to wear such-and-such armor after the CU. Why not have it so that you can wear any armor, but you take a heavy hit on the resists for the armor?

Example1: You have that favorite suit of BH armor and want to continue to wear it even if you are a Rifleman only. You can but only get 10% of the resists across the board. So if it was to protect 40% in Kinetic, it would protect you for 4% Kinetic. You still have to deal with the slow-down factors of the armor but at least you can wear it for Roleplaying. (Even if need be, make it no protection at all...so it acts like a piece of clothing to non-certed beings.)

Example 2 : Finally you are in the big PvP battle which we all want to see..... You are a Rifleman sitting back a bit and you notice that all the other Riflemen are being picked off one by one. You are easy to spot because you are the only ones in Recon Armor hanging back. You sacrifice the protection and switch to Assault armor as a disguise and use the extra time (Since he is just focused on killing Recon Armorred Riflemen) to locate the enemy and take him out.

I wouldn't mind being able to walk around in the RIS I worked so hard to get or the "fashion statement" suit of armor. It won't protect me but is a bit more realistic.... (just because you are not certified for a shirt, doesn't mean you can't wear one).

I don't sell anything in particular, but still you will need it!

I think you should be able to wear the armor, just not have it help you in any way shape or form.

You can put it on, but you gaset all of the negatioves, and absolutly no benefit.

It really is not that hard, as the weapons are that way already.
