I've never heard a thing about smugglers being tied to mandolorian armor in the star wars universe so I repeat: What the hell for?If it's just because you feel slighted another profession gets something as iconic as mandolorian armor then go be a **edit**ing bh or commando.God, I hate when people piss on other people's parades. BH's and especially commandos deserve some perk. Mandolorian armor fits with the story (mostly) for them so they get it. No one else. You want to be able to wear wookie armor to?Message Edited by Raanan on 05-19-2004 12:43 AM
This pretty well sums up my opinion on the question even being asked in the first place. It's pure greed.

mandalorian is cool and all, but I must admit I think it pretty much belongs to only two professions. Commando and Bounty Hunter. Other than those two, I can't say I would particularly care for smugglers to have mandalorian armor.
I agree completely, if everyone could use it, then it would jsut be a new, more expensive, composite. Keeping it class certed keeps it special.

Amen, 5 stars for you my friend
So hey, maybe part of Publish 10 will be the random spawning of Darth Vader to perma-kill the Jedi. I swear I heard somewhere that that Vader guy helped to hunt down and destroy the Jedi. Looks like he did a pretty bloody lousy job, now didn't he??

I been kicking together an idea in my head lately of Profession-Specific Armor.
Like armor that only Commandoes can wear, or Bounty Hunters, or Smugglers, or Pistoleers, or Rifleman, etc.
Not only would it reduce the amount of resources needed for people, but it would also make it alot more fair.
Like say for Rifleman. They have a lightweight armor that helps disguise them, but isn't heavy to withstand a certain type of damage or punishment.
...or Commandoes. Give them really heavy, nigh-impenatrable armor. Make them move really slow in it so it makes them take a while to get to their target if needs be.
BH's get some sorta armor that lets them have a jetpack or some other feature that helps in bounties, like built-in target tracking (get rid of seekers at MBH perhaps).
But probably not a good idea.

I'd just be happy if there were a way to make basically composite armor components, taking one socket in each clothing item, but giving the clothing item the same protection as an equivilent composite (or ubese or whatever) armor. That way we'd still have the defenses of the armor, but a little more style and personalization of our toons. It a little disconcerting to look around and just see various colors (though usually blue) comp armor everywhere, but you can't tell a player's species.
Don't know if we should or shouldn't be able to wear it, BUT I don't like the idea of slicing some armor that will help a BH better defend themselves against me when they come after me down the road !! I really think we should all give this one some thought, I for one don't think I'll slice that armor except for maybe and I mean MAYBE my closest friends in game.
