For the new factional armor.

Basic info AP is going out the door. Weapons will now have up to three settings each for a different level of armor. From what I gather not all weapons will be this flexible, but you may end up cutting through assault armor with a dh17

This is a rock paper scisors system. So if you wear a heavy armor a heavy shot will cut through it, but that shot will not cut through a light armor. All armors valid.

Armors will no longer have loopholes.

Oh just read for yourself. Big freaking changes.

PNokkata- Evil Wookiee Padawan/ TKM/ Fencer
Chameleo- Master Doctor/ Swordsman
IGR (Imperial Galactic Reserves)- Sin City Too, Dantooine

Its gonna get crazy in here!

Rebel armor makes us look like aliens.

CTRL ALT, Tempest
Zion, Naboo Goleta Inc. (right in front of the shuttle)
Novice Artisan, Master Bone Armor Crafter, Dabbler in the wielding of a CDEF pistol.
A noob isn't a person...it's a way of life.

I think the rebel armor while not perfect looks fine Far better then the armor we have had up to this point. Sure the helmet may not be prefect, but will it avive it game looking that extreme maybe not.

The point is that your really never see the rebelsin the movies wearing armor, and well the armor aint provideing all that much protection in the movies anyway. Han killing a stormie with a dl44 anymore. So its not like they have a model to go off of. Other then the JOTJ helment, and by the way thats not an armor. Thats poncho covering a general uniform no real armor there. The armor looks fine to me.

Nothing could be as bad as the marine armor looks anyway.

Umm, I hope PSG's will be just as good as armor after revamp. I dunno, reminds me of Mortal Kombat?

I didn't come here to win, I came here to fight!

The technical term for this is "systems balancing", prior to release. After release, it's still balancing, but changes can be considered nerfs or enhancements.
Since you don't have it yet, if you cry nerf, I'll make sure your name is on the list to spew chicken feathers as your characters talk.
