Cloaks - Hoods Hoods Hoods! Theres not much to say about this. I've seen screens of npcs wearing the Hood so why can't players?

Colors - As many other Tailors/Players have noted it doesn't make sense that certain colors are only available on certain clothes. Please considerutilizingthe same color pallette for everything!!!

Clothing Decay - Countless posts have been made about this topic. I've seen many that were very good ideas - Especially the one that links Clothing Decay to your HAM bars (Basically the more activities you do in your clothes the more they are worn). On top of that I believe the type of damage you're hit with [if your in combat] should affect how bad the clothes is damaged; i.e. Acid damage hurts clothes more than energy. And then there istimed decay - your clothes decay*.75per day regardless of location.

* = Number is just an example.

A combination of all these ideas would be ideal in my opinion. Combat would take the biggest chunk of damage out of your clothes condition [Meaning not wearing your clothes while in combat would be a decent way toSLOWdecay]. Everyone's probably thinkingpeople will just remove their clothes while fighting. I know lots of rich players wouldn't care and always wear the clothes. Theres also players who want to look good while doing anything in the game. And then theres players who would just forget. The Majority wouldprobably take their clothes off while incombatbut thats the reason why a combination of all these things is a good idea.

Second type of decaywould be caused by you doing things while wearing them (Dancing, Crafting, Surveying). Pretty much any action points used would impact decay. (I dont really see any reason for mind to have anything to do with decay. And the health pool is already tied to combat)

Third would be the factor just decided by how long you have had the clothes.

Probably the hardest part about this would be figuring the right pace for everything to effect decay. A good standard for a high quality piece of clothingcould be about3 months. For someone who wears their clothes all the time while fighting about 1 month. And for an item stored away never being used i'd guess 6 months. Feedback on the time would be greatly appreciated.

Forgot to mention - The Decay should not begin on any of the clothes till the item has been worn at least once. (So that clothes doesnt decay while sitting on vendors and then customers come to shop and the clothes condition is already not new)

I would also like to see cloaks and dusters wearable on top of things such as flight suits, tactical suits.. anything that RIGHT NOW causes you to go naked if you put on a cloak. It is silly to be wearing a skinsuit, and go to put on a cloak, and you can't...

All good points. I would add bikini leggings as something that needs to be fixed as well. There is a picture on the main SWG web page that has a great looking pair on a human female but what we ended up with are nowhere near as nice. Do like some of the new colors though, red and black could still use a little work but was nice to see the effort.
