I agree
I am a wookiee and i am embaressed to say I am quiet upset that we can't get bleed defence or melee/stun defence or scent neutrulization added to any of our clothing. We tried to make three shoulder pads tonight and not one of them had the improvements in finial combine. We Wookiees can't wear any armor but Personal Sheild generators and we use them up way to fast. It would be really nice to have clothing that helps with some of the damage reduction issues as well as more clothing looks. Why is it that we get a pullover tunic in the artisan levels before tailor but not a simple shirt or normal vest once in the tailor level clothing. I feel that Wookies should have clothing made so that we can have both the bio sensors as well as defencive enhancements. So please all you tailors out there please help the wookiees get more options in clothing in reguards to the Bio enhancements and a few more choices in how we look.
thanks for allof yoru time

An upset wookiee
I have always felt bad about the limited wookiee clothing selection. My wookiee vendor actually has almost as many sales as my non-wookiee vendor so wookiees are obviously also fashion conscious and always looking for variety of color and design. I do agree they should have more primitive looking clothing however that still leaves a lot of room for additions. In the latest dev chat, one of the devs commented that they acknowledged that "wookiee wearables" were sorely lacking and that they would be adding some. Not sure if they meant clothes, armor, or bio-enhancable clothes. Anyway here's hoping some positive changes come for wookiees soon ![]()

You have very few options for combat enhanced gear, unfortunately. These types of tissues are, as pointed out above, available only in reinforced fiber panels. This limits wookiee's to the Wookiee shoulder pad (which is the ONLY wookiee wearable that needs the panels) or bandoliers. Usually, if a wookiee really wants something enhanced I end up sending them away with a bandolier (but of course they can't wear a backpack at the same time) because the shoulder pads aren't horribly popular and (as I pointed out in my initial post) they tend to screw up a lot of wookiee fur patterns.
That's it. Find a good tailor and get you a bandolier I say!
saying that wookiee's can't wear much because of the movies, is just a lame excuse, this is a GAME FOR GODS SAKE! half of the game doesn't even feel like star wars, then why should they even bother with wookie's. offcourse wookiee's shouldn't be wearing vests, pants etc.. but they could at least put more waist wraps, battle paddings etc.. in the game, with a cool set of colours. and YES bright colours! I don't care about the the movies. I you want bright coloured clothes then you should be able te get that. because NORMALLY a tailor should be able to craft anything.
oh and I have a question about the protective treats of some battle paddings. how much protection do they give? and what kind of protection? and what is needed? etc...
In the movies, I think the reason Chewbacca didn't wear clothing was an issue with costume design. Wookies aren't REAL but in order to pull off the character of Chewbacca in the first triology, the actor had to wear a cumbersome fur costume. And remember, Chewbacca wore 1976 to 1983 technology. Today Lucas could dress wookies in anything using his digital design technology.
The arguement I hear a lot is that for the meager HAM points the Wookies get, it doesn't even come close to nearly every other race to run around in 70%, 80% to upwards of 90% Composite armor.
Some kind of balance needs to be put in and I think 50% to 70% immunities to knockdowns, dizzy etc. is a fair balance. Wookies are supposed to be the mightiest of all races, able to tears the arms off of humanoids. Pistol whipping a wookie simply should never happen. Maybe have them take more fire damage if they're not wearing clothing and give them some kind of fire protective clothing that wears 10x faster than composite if they catch on fire.
There a lot of ways to make wookies better than they are now. If you're not a Master Doctor or Master CH as a Wookie you're most often taken out rather quickly...
