ok here is what my idea is
one bio eng stuff you can already use right.. great and good...
1) now here the plan it 3 fold... 1 there are tons of skill tapes out there and plates that are next to useless +1 skills not much use really and the price for anything over +3 is crazy sick... so here the idea a tailor gains the skill at master to combine skill types into one tape... so you got 9 repair +1 tapes put them all togeather to for 1 +9 skill tape... that helps you guys out gives you another form of income and helps with worthless +1 skill tapes...
2) ok now have bio eng's be able to make verson's of there supplys that can be used to make skill tapes by tailors
3) have the armor smiths make skill plates just like tailors make skill tapes... shoot i would be happy of both plates and tapes when to tailors 8)
might have a limit on how many tapes can be smashed togeter like 2 or 3 tapes with limit on skill cap being +6 or somthing... and hay make it experementable on so like amazing gives you and + extra skill or some mod that is not normal like +5% to run speed.. or +1 to max carry capasity 60/61 8) you get the idea or have have you able to make diffent kinds of skill tapes and plates with the help of like armor smiths and imiage desigherners/bio eng'smake skill tapes that give stats like +25 to action /heath/mind or skill plates that are negative to encombraces like nightsister shards... or + base protections.. like have skill plates and tapes that fit enhancers... so you could put a night sister shard or layer in it and it would go on to normal clothing.. krayt scales and suche would be worth money then... clothing enhnaced in this way would have armor level 0 and still have some resistances that you can experament on but at a cost of some ham maybe i dont know.. but it also take up a socket in the clothing or armor its a trade off... but if they did that they would have to add tissue use to armor smiths to even up the fact that you have some deffence rateing
or even have the ablity to use Armor crafted segments like for comp marabine/tantail/padded/bone/whatever else you want that goes into clothing but gives a AR 0 and is only usable in military line of clothing and maybe formal clothing "james bond and all that" there would also have to be a penatly to ham on the clothing so using comp segments you could get 30% base resistnaces with out much trouble that still no where near comp but i think alot of people would use it... you can get 26% base segements that are 2/2/2 encombrace.. i think that would be a far trade off if armor smiths could use tissue in there armor.. only armor that would be worried about would be the marabine that has krayt scales init heeh but it would still be a better deffence but atleast it would help you guys out a little..
so here is a examble you got your bio stealth shirt or what even and you put the comp segment in it 26% base +12% kinetic then you make up some night sister layer skill tapes -3% ones 3 of them so your armor comes out to 35% base against all but stun dmg but have to have it so it only worked on one layer so if you had shirt on and pants and a jacket and got hit in the chest it would only save dmg off the shirt or somthing like that... the encombrace on the shirt would be like 29/28/20 so its really not that bad before slice.. and if you did not use layers you could get it to like 10/10/10 or under or if the armor smith used all nightsister layers and shards it would have no encombrace at all on it...
the above idea would also solve the wookie no armor issue... so tell me what you think...

Hmm, well, personally I don't know a lot of people that have 9 +1 skill tapes. Heck, I don't know many that even have 2 or 3, especially of the same kind. I know that there are those that camp at the loot spots and fill their hours by looting a pile over and over (*yawn*), and then auction the "good ones" off for miliions, all the while wishing that the "crummy" +1 tapes could also fetch millions, but that certainly doesn't represent the majority of players, and it's certainly not an aspect of the gameplay that I'd like to see emphasized.
The idea of tailors making skill tapes, whether or not the materials are supplied by BE's is not one that appeals to me either. The reason is simple: it would compete with our ability to make bio engineered clothing, only it would be worse because we would go from being "clothing" makers to being "bonus" makers, and to me the point of being a tailor is making clothing.

I am really not that interested in making more clothing with bonuses. I make BE clothing because it has basically become part of the job. I bet most tailors have had a conversation like this:
Random person: Can you make me cloths with a bonus?
Me: I can make bioenhanced clothing.
Random person: Good I will take it! How much?
Me: Well, what kind of clothes do you want?
Random person: The ones with a bonus.
Me: Well, there are several difference types of enhancements I can put into clothing (then I explain them).
Random person: Well, I am a TKA.
Me: Maybe something with melee/stun defense would be good for you.
Random person: Yea. I want that one!
Me: Ok. What sort of clothing would you like this put into?
Random person: I want the one with the bonus for TKA.
This is usually the point where I very nicely have a "random" computer crash so I don't have to deal with them and go play my other character for awhile. Somtimes I feel like giving them something they would be embarassed wearing (like giving a guy something pink and puffy) and telling them that it is 'the clothes with a bonus'.

you have to look at it this why it dont compeat with your bio clothing it only makes it better because you could still put the bio eng stuff in your clothing when you make it like + intimidate/warcry and them make up some +16 med skill tapes and a + 9 bleed and a + tame wild animals or what ever else you got then put them in th bio eng shirt and bang .... juat makes it sell for more...
