My question is, if we are TKM and have the innate armor, do we really need to wear armor when using our pistols as master smuggler? Will the innate armor still be in affect as long as we don't wear our recon armor? If so, we could run around without armor and still be just as effective in combat. I'm not sure if there would be a benefit to that, just seems cool to actually be good in combat with pistols and no armor. I guess the real question would be, is the innate armor as good as a set of recon armor?

Based on the recon armor that the blue frog was producing, it had a protection of about 5400. TKM Innate armor supposedly has 6K protection, so it would be better than recon armor(at least the stuff from the frogs). And the TK innate armor works no matter what weapon that you have in your hand.
(This is all from the CU FAQ in the TK forum)

Q: TKM Innate armor with MS, do we need to wear armor?
A: NO.
In fact you can do anything you want- heal, dance, check harvs, carry guns, shoot guns, /spit on your guns, etc. and you WILL NOT lose your TIA (TKM Innate Armor).
HOWEVER
The SECOND you put on any piece of armor (not including a personal shield) you lose your TIA (tm).
Now, will you be effective? That remains to be seen. There is one Smuggler here who claims he likes to use his pistol to root a target (concussion shot) and then run up on them and pummel them. Rinse and Repeat.
They usually cannot hit him because his TIA kicks that much ass.
I've never tried it myself but why would he lie?

Sounds like this is a good template then. MS/TKM so you can run around with pistols and have better armor. Granted you wouldn't have all the pistol bonuses from MP or 0040 BH but I think it would still be fun. Might be interesting to play around with it.
