I'm a Master Heavy Swordsman, and just bought this shirt for 1.1 million credits:
+4 melee fefense
+16 vs stun
+9 2h melee counter attacks
+6 2 handed melee evasion
1.) First of all, did I get a deal, or did I get ripped off, or does that sound about right?
2.) The +9 to melee counter attacks... it's a different mod than the +110 counter attack I have as a swordsman. Does it basically do the same thing? Does it stack together? It's listed as 110, and 9 seperately under my skill mods.
Thank you.

The first 2 stats are from a bio tissue. The 2 hand counter attack does not work from what I read, only ones that say Counterattack only is my understanding.

Sorry mate, you got ripped 
The 2handed skills on that shirt were taken out in beta, evasion's just plain gone and the 2h melee counterattack was replaced with just plain counterattack.
Sorry man, you should have checked with us first.

Doh! Well at least it has 16 against stun. I'll try to add a speed tape.

You'd better buy a brand new BE shirt with stun/melee defense, it's easy and cheap. And check a 4 slots one for attachments. At best you only have 2 slots left on your shirt right now, adding tapes with useless ones is such a waste. :/

Since the patch that added Wookiee armor it's much harder for tailors to get 4 sockets. Many are unwilling to guarantee socketting, especially on BE clothing which is inherently expensive to make. In short…good luck finding a shirt with 4 sockets again. I know I no longer offer such items as a guarantee—my average socket number went from 4 with the occasional 3 to 2 with the occasional 3 after that patch, and I haven't done much tailoring since. (Although I'm about to have to replace my medic top…*sigh* wonder how many tries it'll take me to get a 4-socket…using 5 biosensors per try. Ugh.)

Nope. After a week of needling the devs we finally got the answer that this is intentional.
So far there has been no word from the devs that they intend to change this in any way. Oh well, what can ya do?
