If they had made the ST armor kinetic proof, you can bet people, especially rebels would have started complaining, so the devs were thinking of making it fair, no doubt, since the Rebels would not have had anything to compare, the closest thing being the composite.

You've kind of hit upon one of the biggest problems with the GCW in SWG. Neither side can be as strong as we'd like them to be since it would make playing on the other side too rough.

The Empire can't be the Pan-Galactic tyranny it ought to be since playing as a rebel would be impossibly hard.

The Rebellion can't be a threat to the Empire since imperial players would complain.

This became very obvious when Novatroopers were added to the Imperial Crackdown towns, Imperial players were using them as shields to attack overt/tef'd rebels. Whilst Novatroopers can be beaten normally, they become a whole new prospect when Imperial player is working in conjunction with them. Essentially they became an /Iwin command for the Imperial player.

If rebel NPCs with similar stats were added to raid Theed, you can bet the situation would be exactly the same.

The Empire and the Rebellion as playable factions cannot co-exist on the same server if you ever want to see a realistic GCW (and no, I've no idea how PvP could ever be implemented if the factions weren't on the same servers)
