got a question for you...
How the heck will non-combat crafterss earn FP to buy the schematics for the armor?
buy Faction from a smuggler,
have nice guildmates who are combat types delegate to the AS
also, i have a feeling these schems are tradeable so that the combat types can buy it themselves and give it to the AS

These armors should also come in a variety of colors. I'm not saying we should have pink storm trooper armor; but a limited pallet for these armors would be nice. I'd like to see black, dark grey (like what the storm commandos use) and green in the pallet for imperial armors. Obviously, the rebel armors could get a few more more color options since they aren't as restricted by continuity as the Imps are.

So what mode will lightsabers be? I suggest mode 1337 for maximum effectiveness. Nice Friday Feature!
asside from your arogant jedi attitude
This is a good question.
I belive they might be dynamic, Probly swaping between mode 1 and 3.
Mind clarifying what "modes" are???
Can't say I've ever heard of this term is it something new coming with CU?

I have a few questions.
1 If the faction costs are being transferred to the crafter can we also be paid in FP? It becomes rather difficult to gain FP using a CDEF Pistol for a pure crafter.
2 Can an AS from any of the 3 faction get the schematics them selves or will it be possible for someone to purchase the schematics and trade to the AS? I personally when in full swing like to offer a variety and not be limited to clientele.
3 Will you be required to be overt to equip any or all of these armors including crafted ones much like the current method?
4 Is there a general if even vague idea you can give us about where the current armor sets will fall into line for functionality?
Also from reading this (pardon me if I’m not clear on the matter) am I to under stand that heat/energy/blast etc (even LS) will all follow along the new # system for pure resistance and not have any special advantages in situational combat? Meaning a sonic blaster would be on the same level as an equal output value laser rifle?

Will there be any coloring options? Imperials would of course be restricted to colors we've already seen (white, black, and in the case of scout armor green), but the rebels could (and should) have a lot more diversity.

Think of a mode as a type of operation...
real life reference...a blender... you can have it in grind mode , crush mode, liquify mode, etc.

Man I am so glad this is out there now. This is just one of the many parts of the CU that for me was love at first sight
