So, you've seen a new armor around, and said, "Hey that looks awesome! Where can I get a set of that? Or, a customer has come up to you with these schematics and you don't know what do do with them. Well, it's time you learned about Bounty Hunter Armor!
For the purposes of this guide, there will be two sections, one for Bounty Hunters, and one for Armorsmiths.
BOUNTY HUNTERS:
The Bounty
The schematic is a loot drop from the BH NPC Mission marks. You do not have to be a Master Bounty Hunter to do these missions and get this loot, however Master's have a higher chance of drawing a boss level NPC. A boss level NPC is around CL80-82, and has gold or silver bars on either side of his name. For an unexperienced fighter, these marks can be tricky, as even I have found myself seconds away from an embarrasing death against these guys. The advantages of drawing a boss level NPC is an increased chance to loot schematics, as well as other high quality loot.
If you are looking to have your local armorsmith make you a set, you should know that there are 10 pieces, which are the Helmet, Chest, Legging, Boots, R/L Bicep, R/L Bracer, Gloves, and the Belt. The arm pieces are the most common loot, with the chest, helmet, and leggings being the second most common, and the boots and the belt being the hardest to obtain. I came to this conclusion through my own hunting and watching others. Loot rates have been tentatively estimated by others at 20%-30% overall, and I tend to agree with this estimate.
Having trouble killing these elite bosses, and thinking of bringing a friend to help? Well, only the BH that has the mission can attack the mark, so your only real use would be to heal him during the fight.
Victory
Now, you've gathered all your schematics and you are ready to bring them to your friend, the local Armorsmith.
ARMORSMITHS:
Pre-Crafting Knowledge:
Schematics
Each schematic for bounty hunter armor has one use, so when your friend the Bounty Hunter bring you his set of schematics, there will be no more left over after you use them. Also, Bounty Hunter armor requires no loot components like R.I.S., so once you have the schematics, you can start the crafting. This armor is not able to be crafted into mandalorian armor.
Ingredients:
Resources and Components
Bounty Hunter Armor requires Steel, Polymer, Reinforced Fiber Panels, Synthetic Cloth, Assault Cores, and can take an optional feathered enhancement. For more information on the feathered enhancement, see the R.I.S FAQ.
Crafting Process:
Schematic Used
Everything will be exactly the same as if you are making a piece of composite or chitin. There are no differences.

Adding Resources
Stats:
Advance Assault Final Combine Caps
unlayered 7000K 5000E 6000B
all energy layered 5800K 6200E 6000B
all primus layered 7600K 5600E 5400B
primus+energy 2+2 6700K 5900E 5700B
all kinetic 8200K 3800E 6000B
It should be noted that these are all bases under the assumption that you are using perfect, or near perfect resources. It is more realistic to assume that your stats will be somewhat under these. Energy layered, Kinetic Layered, and Unlayered would propably be the easiest to cap, with the Primus involved combinations being the most difficult.
Now that enhancements have been fixed, during the construction of your Assault segments, you can add Kimogila Scales to add health bonuses to the segments. Once you get to the final combine, you can also insert a feathered appearance enhancement to add more health to the piece, combining for a maximum of 50 health per piece.
In keeping with Bounty Hunter's similarity to normal Assault armor, the condition you'll reach would propably be in the same range as your other assault armors, with 50000 condition as the maximum.
Here's a little note to our bounty hunter friends who are ready to have their armor crafted, but are unsure if they can afford it. You can reduce the price of the construction of your armor, if you can provide the armorsmith with looted Assault cores. The quality will not be near what an Armorsmith can reach, however if you want this more for show or display, this is propably your best bet. The best possible looted Assault cores are usually looted from Kliknik Queens on the planet Yavin 4.
Now, you've assembled the armor, experimented on the condition, and now you are at the color pallete. As you will see, it is very diverse, and the color combinations are quite breathtaking. For our Bounty Hunters who want to see what option they have, here is the pallete:

Finally, the armor is completed, and you trade it to the Bounty Hunter (and recieve your reasonable fee for your time and effort). The Bounty Hunter is amazed at the quality of your work, and the depths of knowledge you were able to impart to reassure him during the crafting phase that you knew exactly what you were doing.
Schematic Revoked
Mission Accomplished
KNOWN ISSUES:
Sadly, like many other things in our profession, Bounty Hunter Armor has some bugs. Currently, a left bracer schematic will produce a right bracer, and vice versa. Also, the Bounty Hunter Armor belt is unable to be colored, however it seems this is intended. Also, it is possible to make a manufacturing schematic from the BH armor belt, however its reasonable to believe that this is not intended.

Assault cores are usually looted from Kliknik Queens on the planet Yavin 4.
You might want to say "The best quality looted Assault cores".

I have to wonder how valuable a factory run of BH belts would be? No sockets. No PSG. Am I missing something?
Any armor cert on the belt? I didn't notice.

Can anyone direct me to a color pallete (or just sample pictures) that is NOT on Imagedump? That would be a tremendous help, thanks.
