I am looking at going Rifleman/CM. Rifleman gets Recon Armor and CM gets Battle. Since I will be master CM will I be able to wear Battle Armor and use my Rifle as still get all the Mitigation/speed benifits of Battle armor from the Master CM box?

I belive this is the case, the Mods will counteract the negative mods from the armor. Battle is supposed to medium protection against both however, if you choose to get assault you would have both armors at full protection. (Recon - energy Assault - kinetic). Just speculation until someone is wearin the armor with mods and finds out though.

if you are master CM you can most definitely wear advanced battle armor when working as a rifleman or advanced recon as a combat medic. You are cert'd for both so you can use both.

yer and if im reading this right then any skill/movement penalties associated with the heaviest versions of the armors (ie best protection possible) are completely counter-acted by mastery of the elite proffession that grants its cert.

to a point - according to Blixtev if they increase resistance past a certain point the hinderances grow past our ability to mitigate (the break point on advanced around 50% resistances)

ahhh... and the most important of these would be thefiring speed and accuracy penalties.. which could then be counteracted with skill tapes/platespossibly?

I'd imagine they want some advantage to going unarmored.
As TK are capped on a maximum level of defence they need to balance armor vs TK defences. There should be no advantage either way.

so the max 'effective' values on ranged and melee defense have yet to be decided then?
