Being from Tucson Az I want a cowboy hat. (with the gunslinger title I should get one)

"Vamp they are great idea's that have been around fora long timeand something we all want to see in the game however it would not be fair for Smugglers and no one else to get them. Holsters and the like need to be avalible to every player regardless of profession"

I agree. Thats why the left and right holsters are for anyone, but the dual holsters for smugglers. Likewise the cap draped over both shoulders is for anyone, the single-shoulder-drape is for smugglers.

Jedi get "Jedi Robes" ... "jedi robes" don't exist in Star Wars. The Jedi wear robes that ordinary everyday people where with the intent on "fitting in". Its effectively camoflauge. So if Jedi in this game can get robes that only they can wear, why can't smugglers get holsters and capes that only we can wear? It makes far more sense for a pistol-wielding smuggler to only be able to own a certain style of gun holster than people not being able to wear robes that 90% of the Tatooine population wear in every Star Wars movie that involves the planet.

See, I think instead of giving bonuses to combat (Though I think the cloak and slicing bonus was a REALLY good idea) that maybe they could create smuggler only clothes that function as recon armor. I mean, common... Would you catch yourself in much of that armor in real life? The rebel armor is really strange looking, and goes from leather with a helmet to full of Mjolniir Halo armor for Battle armor. The mabari armor is "ok" but is kind of feminent looking (I say this in no offense to girls, but you must remind yourself it WAS based on Zam's armor, who WAS a girl for most of the movie)... The Ubese armor is a little better, but makes you look like a he-man warrior from the desert instead of a shifty smuggler. And the tantel armor not only looks like it was from 700 years ago, but it really doesnt look like it will hold up to blaster fire. I think these types of armor either look strange, from another era, or too atention grabbing (which is what smugglers DONT want to happen)... By making clothing armor for smugglers only, it wouldn't really be hard to code. Just have it be the same armor making proccess (they could evenmake it identicle to Mabari with a different appearance and name), only by tailors, with their tailor equivalant parts. I mean, lets face it... Would they be able to ever get Han in those suits or armor? No... The problem with making clothing thatgives combat bonuses, is that it would either be too weak and useless compared to armor, or it would be powerful enough to bea trade-off, and would get nerf-cries. I think it would be great to go out with my "smuggler"style clothes onfor more thansix seconds, for fear ofgetting my ass kicked by some really weak creature... Such as a kreetle (no I'm not THAT horrible!)

Someone clicky this please....

Was in the tailor forum..seems this jacket is in game and not craftable. I want one, it just screams smuggler style to me. Maybe if we complain enough they will add it. Bothan NPC's wore the slave skirt for a year before they finally gave in and let tailors make it.

Capes, holsers... things like that would be awsome.
Nice ideas.

absolutely stellar idea. and please... make them fit us females properly. not like most of the belts in this game, save mabari, padded, and bh belts... all others float about half a foot around our waists. =P

i wear the bh belt generally, it's the closest one to a holster that actually fits.

i have however, seen a female NPC on Corellia.. Erryn Sif(or soemthing) and she is by god, wearing a holster.

i have the screenshot at home... I will post it when i get home.

Many NPCs have clothing players can't get. Darth Vader has a cape, there's a few NPCs with holsters, and many other things. They're all right there in the game already... the Devs just need to allow us to make them.

this is the only time i have EVER seen a holster in game.

damn her and her holstery goodness.

I always thought that a Modular Clothing system would be best - i.e. you pick a cuff style, an embroidery design, a collar style, a shirt style (long sleeve, longer body, etc...) and put it all together in a final combine - that way you have truly UNIQUE articles of clothing. Every tailor would be just that - not a clothing manufacturer.

Thoughts?

I have always thought that is how ALL crafting projects should be. You make a vehicle, you choose a landspeeder base, choose a nose, a body, and an engine configuration...combine! Voila! You make a sword, you choose a blade type, a hilt type, and a handle type, combine and boom! Unique. Same with guns, cloths, armor would be harder...but droids....especially droids would be great! And of course starships.

You can;t tell me that it would be hard to skin 5-10 different options for each part, with 3-7 different parts to combine that is....well I don't want to do math right now, but that would be a lot of different combos...and then add in different color options for each piece and you have some very unique possibilities.

On the OP idea, I think they are very cool. I know that Veela would love to have a Lando style over the shoulder cape (c'mon you KNOW you would!!!!). I would like to see these thiongs implemented, absolutely. The more things that add style and uniqueness to this profession and game as a whole should be pushed forward!

hmmm. Sounds familiar, like it reminds me of something...

*Glances at Shipwright tag*

Ohyeah. That.

It's a pain, really, but it's seriously cool. Just look at JTL, which is essentially modular crafting with a couple different styles for each visible component. The end result is a starship, and there are hundreds of unique X-Wings or TIEs of Kimos you can get depending on where you chose to focus on your components.

I dream about not having to wear armor. How that is brought about doesn't matter to me, and no I don't think mastering TKA should be a requirement in order to do this.It's the future and sci-fi, give me a personal sheild or items that equip like it, that keep your clothes visible yet provide protection. I know they have PSG and I have yet to see any that function on the order of real armor. Smuggler in a tin can is just a huge turn off.

Jen, try wearing the decorative belt. It fits my female twi char perfectly

Wes, its worth asking right? Ya never know until ya try! Bobba Fett has a cape, the NPC Jen posted a pick too has a holster... these things are in game. It surely can't be that difficult to give em to us

Smuggler clothing as armour is a superb idea. Wish I had thought of that myself! I refuse to wear any armour in this game because all recon is really ugly. The ONLY form of armour I wear are occasionaly the boots and ubese gloves. I would love to have smuggler-ish clothing I could put on that gave me some kind of extra protection.
