Thread: PSGs, Tantle and Lightsabers
**edit** the Jedi.
BTW: Cortosis ore is in the game. It's a type of siliclastic ore. What, you didn't think the breaks in continuity stopped with the mere existance of player Jedi, did you?

Great post in spite of what the BH community thinks. You point out some pretty serious problems and are looking for alternatives and answers. I'm not an armorsmith so I will not even pretend to understand the complications involved in armor crafting.
Light Sabres: Why the heck do these do kinetic? It would seem that some alternative should be provided for these weapons. They should not be a damage type thats number one on the hit parade for all armor. Forgive me but I don't believe that armor should be effective at all against a light sabre.
Shield Generators: I seldom see them for sale and if the shifting stat line is the culprit then you gys deserve a hotfix. Unless they implement Wookie armor this would be one of the few alternatives I can see for this race to get protection (That is if they can use it)
Tantel: Never liked the stuff all that much because it looked too primative. If it's bugged however it really should be fixed.

I don't one-star posts. Don't make assumptions, and keep your mouth shut next time. Oh yeah, as for the books and movies, I don't remember seeing countless Jedi running through them with names like "Bob The-Difiled" and "Ima'Test'FSCS" (yes, actual Jedi names on Ahazi). And yes, sabers did cut through everything, but blasters also mowed down just about everything in one shot, armor or not.
I don't care about the Jedi because frankly 95% of them don't give a rat's ass about the rest of the player's in this game. They've "mastered" most of the professions (usually ours - *gasp* I'm an armorsmith too) and look down their noses at us because they think that grinding Mabari chestplates for 15 hours then dinging master and dropping it imparts them with the same wisdom that is possessed by a armorsmith who knows the ins and outs of resources, layers, etc.
Do you honestly think it will help our business if sabers are unresistable except for some rare loot-item armor? You're a fool if you do. There are so many powergamers in SWG that doing that would drive every single one of them to Jedi, and those left standing to face them (or even Jedi facing each other) wouldn't bother with armor for PvP (where most of our money comes from - do you think they guys that buy five, six, and seven suits off my vendor aren't doing it to get a set with uber slices?) because it would be useless. We'd be turned into a service profession, reduced to making armor for holo-grinding and assembling the pieces of your new anti-saber armor. Sounds like a blast, no?
EDIT: Oh yeah, I love your short memory Stooric. If I remember correctly, and I do, I'm the one that practically gave you what amount you have of the last good spawn of axidite on Shadowfire. I'm glad that after taking time to help out a newer Shadowfire armorsmith get going on saleable Ubese that I'm just a "silly bounty hunter" in you mind. Hope that axidite's treating you well, hypocrite.
