For god's sake, has anyone been following the updates on the DWB before posting here? C'mon, Shug says nothing about crafting b/c crafters have to be IN the bunker and craft it there in a three part dealie within a freaking time limit. A group of TWENTY highpowered players went in and attacked the DWB and barely got past the first room on TC so it won't be "easy", read the posts on this before you start complaining about the difficulty level. The group leader who led this attack said he thought it would take FORTY TO SIXTY PC's to do this, unless of course you have Jedi, and want to risk them inside the DWB. And you only get one piece of armor btw. It's not going to be composite wars, trust me.

The Death Watch bunker is their hideout and it contains some very interesting things, including the only crafting facilities in the galaxy capable of making Mandalorian Armor.
-and-
Although gas masks can certainly be found inside the bunker and out, players will have to go inside the bunker with an able crafter who has the correct skills to modify gas masks to filter out the deadly allum mine gas.From there, they will have to gather all the necessary components and remain in the company of a crafter with the right skills to craft this mighty armor.
There ya go - from the Friday feature.

kinda off topic but i found this intresting and funny ....
When you start up galaxies it says Boba Fett was the last of the mandalorians... ok cool...
hmmm....boba fett is a exact clone of jango fett...who would of been the orignal last of the mandalorians...ok cool...
the genoshins cloned jango fett to make the republics army....ummmm so who is the last of the mandalorians?
and how many stormtroopers are still clones?...because the genoshins are still around right?
fill a stormtrooper in on his past and wait till he slpis into mandalorian armor....

Ya that was kind of a valid point....**edit** did happen to all the clones? If Boba was a clone just like all the clone soldiers...that would make it so theres a whole hell of a lot of mandalorians left over then right. I was always under the impression that Jango wasn't actually a mandalorian but was raised and trained by mandalorians. Ehh...whatever.
I have a major problem with them changing one of the "facts" of starwars just so they can add armor to the game. I know they have to stick with the liscense and LucasArts tells them to jump and they say "how high." Just seems like all the things we wanted from jetpacks, to jedi, to mandalorian armor was doomed from the start. We can't have too many jedi due to the perils of the times....jetpacks are really rare and it seems only Boba had one....and the same goes for mandalorian armor. Ehh....whatever....I like that their still trying to fix this game....i just think it will take too much longer and too much more effort to do so.

Cloner-Stive, If I'm not mistaken, I believe only Master BHs, Master Commandos, Master Rangers, and Master Squad Leaders can wear the Mando armor.

Any chance of seeing how good tis armour actualy is?, i hope its not another armour which is worse than comp, but has low encumberance. (For example all the other rare armours including BH armour, RIS armour, Maurauder armour e.c.t.)

Mandalorians were mercenaries. Mercenaries are hired guns. IE: Bounty Hunter.
Stretching this one could say a Commando, as an expert in warfare.
IMHO only MASTERS of one of these two professions should be able to wear such armor to keep it rare.
I also hope that this armor type holds true to Star Wars fiction, giving adequate protection to every damage type, including the elusive stun damage that is now so prominent in this game that has completely ruined the existing pvp system.
The new stun weapons have taken us right back to 2 months post launch when we had 3 second pvp encounters.

Maybe it should be a reward quest, like after an acount has been activated for a year, you get a way point to an NPC that gives out a chain of hard quests to get 1 part of the armor.
Just a thought
