Now, a question: a comment in the text implies that Trandoshans and wookies are getting treatment vis a vis feet and hands being removed out of damage model. Since it is not mentioned expressly, Am I to assume that Bothans, and Sullustans etc will be able to wear factional helmets then?

Finally a FF I can sink my teeth into!

OK, so exactly how many of these will be player craftable? All sets? Some?

Edit: Nevermind, saw TH say all of it will be craftable. /thumbsup

Buy from a smugler


Or get it deligated to you from a combat person.


Pluss there is always JTL, a great way to earn FP.

I don't usually wear armor as a ranger, but I may because of this.

So what mode will lightsabers be? I suggest mode 1337 for maximum effectiveness. Nice Friday Feature!

they're not droids it says that some of them are cyborgs but its not certain if they really are cyborgs or human at all i dont see why normal humans couldnt fit into the armor anyway

TH, I have a quick question on the notes about the armor upgrade...it seems that the feeling i got was that lightsaber damage will now be partially blocked by the "general stat" of the armor, just like every other type of damage. Am I misinterpreting this?

Rhayven

What is going to happen with the jedi anyways? Will people be effective against jedi, like BH set weapons to say "mode 1" and be effective against jedi, but then jedi switch their weapons to, what "mode 3"? hmmm?

Sounds intresting, as long as jedi aren't the kings of the game...and they are equals among us.






Well, that is kind of what i am worried about is that jedi will be equal among everyone with this new armor idea. Obviously, no profession should be king over any other, but the inherent differences between the leveling and content of jedi and other professions should not leave them as "equal"...any rational look at the situation will show that.

I'd gladly bring you the schematic from the recruiter, purchased with my FP, to make the armor for me. You still get to charge resources, time, and markup. Therefore, as a non-combat armorsmith, you're still making the same amount of money as you were selling your "innate skill" armor.

asside from your arogant jedi attitude This is a good question.


I belive they might be dynamic, Probly swaping between mode 1 and 3.



EDIT: Was the 1 star really necisary?

TH, can you comment if we can still have big templates like we do today? They cross from 2-3 different elite proffesions so we can 'stack defense' or whatever...will the post-CU SWG still have that? I brought it up because the armor thing was saying that the armor works best with certain proffesions...

Now you guys are seeing part of what made the Correspondents who went to the summit so excited. This Upgrade will revolutionize the game in so many ways. It's just... awesome. I can't wait.
