But if everyone in pvp is wearing comp (or armor with identical stats but a different skin), what difference does the appearance make?

I get the funny in the image you paint, but it would be more in line with the movie's set in the period we're playing in. After all, how much armor did we see in them? Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, then Han, Luke, and Leia when undercover on two occasions. The vast majority of the time, they were running around in street clothes or cold weather gear. Or a metal bikini.

in live they added the appearance tab and it was great, entire guilds of stormtroopers running around makes this environment much more entertaining but about 5% of the time you would see hotpant wars going on, the one complaint people had was the visibility with jedi being able to equip master class robes and run around dressed as a novice artisan.

Would love to have someone like this

I have constantly been thinking about this lately. If it can't(or shouldn't?) be made to match Comp armour, then at the very least make it PvP viable against Comp armour users?

Personally my goal is to get full storm trooper armour for my Marksman.

Please consider adding to the road map to look into faction armour Devs :-)

I strongly agree - only been playing a month and the "every person in the galaxy wears composite armor" thing is a headache. It's also bad for roleplaying - craft-able faction armor would greatly improve pvp, pve, visuals, and role playing.

Imperial stormtroopers engaging rebels in battles or groups of imperial soldiers out hunting as a group would improve the game and make it far more Star Wars-like. If the schematics required a faction point unlock or a mission or what have you it could also be a way to encourage a stronger sense of accomplishment to someone seeking their own path in this sandbox adventure. I worked hard to get my set of Storm armor, and I would gladly work hard again to get a suit I could actually wear in combat - the way it was meant to be worn.

Thanks for reading and I hope this idea is implemented at some point soon - it's number one on mine and a few of my friends' wishlist.

Considering that every stormtrooper in the movies dropped with one shot, I would say the armor is right where it needs to be. 8)

Something else to think about with this (And with the discussion on player bounties going the way it is in GENERAL CHAT) -

You could have viable Storm Trooper armor scematics as a reward for obtaining a certain faction rank. Reb armor ditto with reb rank.

I think they should just open it up so you could buy the schematics from recruiters and give them the same crafting options as comp.

I'd love to see this happen.

I personally would like to see faction armor as well, its boring and silly to see everyone in comp mini suits all the time...honestly not that starwarsy if everyone's wearing it.

I would make a lot of people happy to have storm/scout and rebel battle and assault armor added with the same stat ratios as comp. All that would be different is their appearance and faction requirement. Getting tired of seeing Comp armor too =/....let me guess don't like play something else...ya I know someones going to say it -.-

[Pharcyde]

comp clones for the lose. I would love to roam around as a stormtrooper

[lassic]

I agree. It is a simple thing, but being able to be a bit unique is a good thing. I like the idea of offering what are essentially reskinned suits of armor with the same stats as comp.
