Thread: Armor Customization Kit FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!!!!
We have them for vehicles and for ships but not clothing or armor? How many times have we spent hours looking for armor only to find that it's pink or green or some other a$s color.
Did you ever consider to actually speak with an AS? I found that to be really helpful for a good outfit.

Of course. We have a couple of excellent Armorsmiths in our guild but they aren't always around. Also, now with the Vendor search I think a lot of people like looking for the best items they can find and aren't as concerned about price.
And if you're the kind of guy like me you like changing things up every now and then. Funny. I have like 2 shirts IRL but spend millions on clothes and armor in game...
It's also helpful to the AS's who haven't been around long enough to really get all the uber-resources. They can focus on one type of armor and make sure they d custom orders and good colors. People will take the slightly lower resists for the chance to choose their own colors, making it easier for new AS's to get customers (which is needed, because SWG isn't attracting many new crafters).
There is an AS for hire list at the top of the forum page, i suggst you contact one in your server...

Hmm, no... i need 3 shirts to get over the week... 
Also i admit,i don't payfor my armours... bringing the favourite armoursmith a pile of high quality hides once a while works wonders.
[Though, on a rough calculation, the hides would have been worth several millions, so i guess your statement is somewhat true... ]

3 for the week? Wow. Actually I only have like 3 or 4 pair of work pants to get me through the week. I have 6 or 8 shirts but I have to wear the same ones all the time...
As a Shipwright I sold tons of the customization kits. It was a nice break from crafting components and chassis. What would be really cool is if they had both color and texture kits. That would allow for much more diversity without actually adding new armor.
Also, having the customization kits allows the AS to simply make all silver or all black armor and let the customer buy a kit to color/texture the armor themselves. Then you wouldn't have that silly green armor sitting on your vendor all of the time...

Or the silly little clown suits we've been making these last few months with the factory bugs
So if the AS doesn't like it but the masses do...... does that mean they will put them in game?
That's one type of custom order and quite honestly, though that makes more sense, it isn't the way most combat only toons think when they go for custom order (most have never heard of swgcraft.com). I used to be a huge supported of armor customization kits (for the options and as a grind piece), but as I am getting off the ground, if it wasn't for custom color requests, I'd really be struggling. It's the best way to get your name out as a new armorsmith, especially when you are still trying to cap your resources.
Wouldn't also make sense from your point of view to, instead of waste all that time gathering the perfect resource, go to the AS on your server that already HAS those resources and all you have to do is tell them the color? If color is the "last" thing you are worried about, then why the post for the kits?
I don't know...it's hard to say which side of the fence I sit on at this point of my career!
