[19:57] *Le_Jedi_Fou* Is there a real difference except look between different sets of armor of the same kind ? Like Tantel, Ubese, Mabari and Scout Trooper armor (all Recon type)
[19:57] Armor of the same category with different appearances will have the same stats. Armor category cores are created which define the stats regardless of the actual appearance they are placed in.

We all knew this. No head shaking. The fact is that if you go through the skills, its spelled out. There are 3 cores with 3 lvls. Basic, Standard and Advanced with Recon, Battle, and Assault. That makes for 9 armors with different paint jobs. This has been out there from the start. The variation, I hope, we can come up with is in the experimentation, should we get more lines. There is also loot and the Bio Mech thing to consider. Don't get depressed yet. Also, think of new ideas folks. I can't stress the following enough... WE are the player community in an open BETA, we CAN help shape this with proper, factual, imaginative feedback. We know we are being heard now. Lets take adavantage.

As much as I dislike many parts of the changes this one is good. Layers have always been where the cool stuff is done with armor, and we get to use 1 more than we could before now (4 layers per new segment vs 3 for old comp).

Oh, I realize we've known this for a while. I am still just disppointed at the route they have taken. There is something about the anticipation of what you are doing when crafting a 'different' armor. I hope we get more experimentation lines which can help. I do hope we aren't reliant on loot to make things different. Again, I shake my head more about the way they've gone, but knowing we may be able to salvage that feeling in some other manner.

Ahhh, I get the head shake now. I agree. A loot based system of differentiation, hope I spelled that right, would suck large. Upside, we can say, "You want this, bring it to me" Not great i agree, but a start. I assume we all agree, getting away from this as fast as possible is the way to go though.
