btw
boba's armor is NOT death watch armor, so why in a death watch cave? Death Watch armor is much thicker and heavier than jaster/jango's armor (boba's armor belonged to jaster). If you wonder what the helmet looks like, see the imperial royal gaurd helmets? Yup, that's exactly what they look like, 'cept maybe heavier. Palpatine took the death watch helmet designs to put into the royal gaurd helmets. He knew that it would strike fear into all who knew the horrors of the mandalorians.

i think wookies should be able to wear the armor everybody else wears imo, and imo also...nothing in the game is sacred really...if you drop this in, all the great intentions of it will most likely go down the drain or never be used if only by a handful of people, like jedi parsay, i've seen only one my whole time playing for 3 months, yet Composite armor is the way of the world, everyone has it, from dancers right down to artisans, sure it's nifty but when everyone has it, the value just goes down, i saw that it should never get put into play if you dont want it spoiled, either that, or there must be some super restrictions to even have it in YOUR INVENTORY, because those who are master bh, could just mbh just to wear it, and then drop it all and be a dancer if that's what you're saying, there's plenty of ways to totally disgrace uncle boba and grandpa jango, PLENTY, i could wear it to dance, put it on the street corner to make people leer enviously at it, i could mascarade as a total perv in it, i could just use it to fish, set up a camp, to ride my speeder, to sit on your porch step, make houses, tame monsters <oooo thought that's useful, there are several ways i could use that armor to piss people off, including just sell it for 6,000,0000,000 creds per suit that i loot, all day, because if you make it quest oriented, there's plenty of peopel toting flamethrowers, and llc's willing to do nothing but take a fellow commando buddy and run the quest, over and over and over and over again and compile about 15 suits per day, maybe 100 per week and horde them for their greedy selves to sell, until everyone eventually has one, all colors under sun, and soon you got pink mandalorian dancers...so i say, you have to get all the explorer badges, all the theme park badges, Boba Fett's badge of honor which includes missions tackling the most elite people, including bringing in Lando Calrissian Alive, killing han Solo and Chewbacca, Killing Luke Skywalker, and all the heros from the rebel alliance and battling Boba Himself, killing him, only to find out that it was only a clone, and then the REAL BOBA shows up and congradualates you, and suddenly you blakc out waking up in the middle of the Dune sea and the Armor in your inventory, and you'll realize...none of it all happened, except you happened upon the armor, and the game will still be intact.....




SEND ME MY CHECK WHEN YOU USE THAT CAUSE YA KNOW IT WAS GOOD!



Besides no one would be able to kill those guys off...andif they did, they'd have to master somethin, PLUS IT SHOULD BE SOLO ONLY, AND IF YOU'RE IN A PARTY YOU DONT GET IT, IF ANYBODY IS IN A 2M RADIUS OF U U DONT GET IT!

BTW everybody crying and complaining, " oooh the mandalorian army were mercenaries not bounty hunterS" last time i checked, don't they do the same thing? fight for, or kill somebody for money? the highest bidder even? SHUT THE F*CK UP ALREADY! Not like there's a big difference between a commando and a Bh anyway, cept Bh only gets one special weapon, quite trippin, the only commando weapon i saw boba and jango use was a flamethrower, and i didnt even see boba use it in the movie, therefore with both of them being bounty hunters, IT MAKES SENSE THE ARMOR SHOULD BE POSSED BY A BOUNTY HUNTER BLAST IT! " But the mandalorian army was this" shaddap! i dont see THEM in the movies, i see em in an offshoot comic, SOOOOO WHAT? Boba and jango were bounty hunters, not commando's, i never once saw boba pull a carbine, WHAT HAPPENED WHEN PRINCESS LEIA PULLED THE THERMAL DETONATOR BOMB ON JABBA YOU FOOL, WHAT DID BOBA WHIP OUT!? A RIFLE? A FLAMETHROWER? NOOOO BOUNTY PISTOL YOU NIMPCOMPOOP! WHAT DID HE FIRE AT LUKE SKYWALKER IN EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!!! SURE AS HECK WASN'T A FLAMETHROWER !!! You commando's make me sick, i hope you don't get anything!! Boba is the only remaining guy to wear The Mandalorian Armor, and he's a BH not a Commando, so THERE, no more mandalorian armor bull crap, He's a Bounty Hunter like his father before him...

i think just the master BH's should get it but.. if they are thinking of giving it to comando's then master carbneers should have it and master pistoleers


and i think it should only be a master thing to stop these people just doing the line to get the armor

WARNING!!!!


(/angry) If you complain or b!tch after you read this you will be flamed to death...


Star Wars Galaxies is (as we all know) made by LucasArts a sup-company of LucasFilm...


THUS they must stick with what LucasFilmIs headed By GEORGE LUCAS (derr) he is the head bombar of the Star Wars Universe...


(/statement) HE HAS STATED THE FOLLOWING

(note: this is the fouth time these facts have been posted and STILL people are askign the same dumb questions)



FACT 1) Mandalorian Armor - Is wearable by all Humanoid (Head,Torso, 2 Arms, 2 Legs, Human DNA) persons.


There for this armor should be wearable by all Speicies, exeps Wookie due to their size and the Fact Wookies are seen as slaves not as fighters but as slaves.


FACT 2) Mandalorian Armor - Is worn by Bounty Hunters, Scavengers, Smugglers and All Members of the Mandalorian Clan.


There for should me able to be worn by all Profesions not just that of Bounty Hunter.


FACT 3)Jango Fett and Boba Fett were just 2 of many Mandalorian Hunters.


There for there should not be a limit to say 100suits of armor per server, allthow they should be a rare item I would suggest a drop and/or rare scematic.


FACT 4) Mandalorian Armor comes in many Colours.


There for there should be some customisation prosses, with a Main and Trim Colour.


FACT 5) Mandalorian Armor is not Lightsaber Proof


There is no physical element in the universe strong enough to stop/block/slow the blade of a lightsaber...

In verious fan films it is shown that lightsabers can be stuck in the ground like a sword... This is not possible

The blade of a saber has NO WIEGHT and NO KINETIC IMPACT... this is fact and is clearly stated by both

George Lucas and Nick Gillard... (if u wish to re-but this issue please e-mail me)



(wise) And since ALL ideas are run through LUCAS FILM befor they are brough in-game...


(/honest) IN SHORT:


  • BOUNTY HUNTERS WONT BE THE ONLY ONES TO WEAR IT...

  • WOOKIES WONT BE WEARING IT...

  • THE SUITS WILL BE RARE...


(/yell) SO PLEASE STOP SAYING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER...


(/calm) So please read eachothers posts


(/happy) Thank you very very much....


(DISCLAMER : please e-mail me if u with to bicker over these facts, i have hard evidence to back up everysingle point)

Ideas

A. add in Mandalorian Armor Cert = to get it the person must first go do very hard quests that are very hard to reach and much do other quests before finding the quest that gives the cert.

B. Make it so that most of the armor drops with its main peices and not only Schemetics...I dont want to have to give an Armor smith everything then he charges me 100 million credits to put it together.

C. Also make it so that the first person that wears it can no longer trade it. This way it would be off the market. So if you want the armor you will have to do the quests and you will have to have someone you trust to make it and give it to you. Cause once you put it on you cant trade it.

D. If this armor is coming into play , us jedis need our sabers to do Plasma Dmg , we are sick of this kenetic crap.

E. Give Mandalorian very high resists to everything and a good resist to (new saber type dmg.)


Now for my own enjoyment , Once this is out I will try my best to get a suit for my jedi I just think that would be so cool. Since ill be hunting jedi with my jedi , ill love to see my Mandalorian looking dude pull out a saber..

My in game name is Hel, is a Master Armorsmith, and is not rich, less then 2 mil. Could I be rich? Definitely. But I choose to help people out when I can. My 70% kin Ubese sells for 90k and my very nice comp sells for 180k. I've had numerous armorsmiths ask/tell me to raise my prices, guess to keep the over priced armor cost high, and sell my Ubese for 150k and my comp for 250-350k which I'm not going to do. I like to help people out always have always will. I often give newbs free armor, often my Ubese, and will never purposely break someone’s pocket, I think armor is a necessity not a right and that not only the rich should be able to afford the good stuff. The only money I make is off of my custom orders where the last one sold for 1.8 mil and my current one is going to be for 4-6 mil. Most of that money helps keep me in business for selling my regular armor so low, giving newbs free armor, and selling my very large guild armor at 45k Ubese and 80k Composite.

I have made every type of armor that a Armorsmith can, except for RIS, and the only armor worth anything, other then for looks only, are Ubese, Composite, and Wookiee (cause it’s the only thing they can wear). I would very much like the Armorsmith profession to be upgraded with a lot more armor to make, PSG’s, and for them to be permanent schematics (kind of like the chef was with food/drink). Looted schematics are nice but when they’re gone they’re gone. Because of this the looted schematic items are going to sell for a LOT more do to limited quantity. I would love have Mandalorian armor as a permanent schematic, but can definitely see why a looted schematic might be better in this case. Mandalorian armor is supposed to be fairly hard to get and a limited schematic would probably be best. Though I would like to also see Mandalorian armor be able to be looted with special features such as bonuses or one resist unusually high. This will keep the looter players happy as well as the armor smith players happy.


In my opinion armorsmiths need to be able to make more types of armor on a regular basis and a lot of them. This won’t make the Armorsmith’s richer since people won’t be buying more armor just new types of armor specialized in whet they like to do and fight. Possibly armor that has natural resists to poison, disease, ranged attacks, etc. would be another possibility.

And if you’re the type of player that wants a set of everything, but fears with new armor out it’s going to cost you a fortune, then come see me and I’ll hook you up. As I said armor is a right not a privilege and everyone should be able to get the armor they want without losing every cent they have.

My name is Hel that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
