With the exception of Bones in Bone Armour, and Scaley Hides in Chitin, why do we have to use organics at all in Armour Crafting? Surely in the technology era of repulsorlift engines, all cloth would be mage synthetically, after all, we have fake leathers and furs today. Are we expected to forget how to make them when we gain more tech ?
Why not give the Tailors some new (Quite Basic) schems : Synthetic Leathers & Synthetic Wools, and allow these to be experimented on. (This would stop AS taking just the box necessary to make the item)
This won't make anything too much different when crafting armours (except maybe serial numbers on the crates of synthetics) and would provide a bit of income for the tailors.
All the hides/meats/bones could be used by BE's (I know nothing About BE's btw, so if they already do use these, ignore this bit!) for the animal creation bit of their prof.
you never know... people might start making padded....

An interesting idea and one that would certainly reduce the price of things like organic wooley hide and of course AS's wouldn't have to wait for a good spawn. As it is AS have a wide amout of resources they need to stockpile to make large runs of armour so this would reduce this.
Anything that needs experimenting on is good too then I could actually use my 12pts in experimentaion for something other than wookie pillows. YeahI wish more people did make padded armour it looks great (well apart from the helmet
)
