Thread: Suggestions for Padded Armor

iam in the process of making a HUGE run on padded armor.i was able to make a couple of schematics of some kinetic layers on the 1-day crafting nerf after publish 7. with very high quality resources, i was able to make kinetic layers with 15% resists with 2% base and 16-16-16 HAM costs. along with high quality advanced padded segments, i was able to get pretty decent resists on the armor. the kinetic resists averaged around 76% to 79% with 46% to 49% base resists which is pretty good for padded (they are VERY HEAVY for padded but still much lighter than comparable composite).


so i wanted to ask other dedicated AS for a few suggestions:


1. How much should i charge for a full suit of this padded armor, considering icharge a full suit of Ubese with 68% kinetic resists for 125k and Comp with 80% kinetic/66% base resists for 375k?


would u guys suggest charging more than Composite for the expensive resources (Yavin Wooly, Lokian Leathery, etc)?


2. I was thinking of making substitutes for Faction Armor due to the wide selection of colors for padded armor. So i was thinking of making both Imperial and Rebel versions of this armor. obviously, with the Imperial version i could make the base white and the pads black.


what would u guys use for rebellion colors?


anyway, any kind of feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure on the prices, but for the faction armor, I wouldn't use black and white. I would use black and a dark blue for the imp, and for the reb orange and white (like the X-Wing suits).

hrmmm...interesting suggestion on the imperial color combination.


i figured that by using black and white, an imp can use factional armor stormtrooper helmet as a substitute for the ugly looking padded armor. with black and white, you can still match the helm.
