No they have beskar automatically and there is the clan skin which provides for PC's beskar. They can make custom suits of it with more equipment like Basaba's and Gilimar's adding shoulder cannons, knife sheaths and other stuff.

....so....I've had my mando in Durasteel for no reason...feth...

Just don't go OTT with the Beskar, remember that there's only really one planet capable of sourcing for all Mandalorians. Not every mando would have a suit of beskar', let alone a full body suit of it.

What does armour quality mean? I know it represents the protection, but are there any examples of what canon armour is, and what each material is capable of producing?

 

[Not Ordo]

A question about canon ships.

If I wanted to have an E-wing with ion cannons instead of laser cannons should a submission be made?

 

[Lief]

@[member="Yinch"]

Yes, because that's no longer canon. You'd just say it's an upgraded/updated/altered version of the E-Wing.

 

[Not Ordo]

@[member="Darth Kyros"]. Thank you I will wrap up my deacription and submit.

Armor quality is a scale we made to help give a better idea of what sort of damage its capable of defending against. Primarily this value is determined by the actual quality of the armor itself. If an amateur metalworker made a suit of armor and a twenty-year veteran metalworker made a suit, the two would vary greatly in the quality of their armor.

Material also plays a part. Unless it was literally made from scrap, you probably won't find quality 1 durasteel armor. Likewise, it doesn't matter what the thread count is, leather armor is practically never gonna be quality 10. Durasteel tends to make up the bulk of armors quality 4-9. About the only metal capable of consistently making quality 10 armor is beskar.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

@[member="Ayden Cater"] OK that helps a bit. So it's basically a 1-10 system based on material, design and how it's used?

 

[Ayden Cater]

@[member="Tamara"]

Exactly.

 

[Jsc]

@[member="Tamara"]

Exactly.

Always wondered about that myself. Thx Ayden.

How does one make a clone type?

 

[Fabula Caromed]

By making a character. Clones are simply character concepts. If that clone has special capabilities engineered into it that are not shared with its species, however, it might require a species sub, depending on how radical those changes are.

I stepped down from RPJdom a while back due to family issues that didn't allow me time to properly contribute as an RPJ. You'll need to wait for another RPJ or Factory Judge to judge your submission.

 

[Ak'lya]

Are non-Stygium crystal cloaking devices on starships (specifically a gunship) allowed or restricted?

 

[Fabula Caromed]

No to allowed, yes to restricted. Stygium is restricted because it aids stealth. Stealth is overpowered, and thus heavily restricted.

 

[Carn Dista]

So I'm looking into creating a space station to orbit Korriban (see also swtor), and im A: Unsure of which factory section it goes into, and B: Vaguely unsure as to what specifications it should be running.

If it's possible to colab with a factory staff member on the latter, then that'd be great.

 

[Ak'lya]

@[member="Fabula Cavataio"] what about a cloaking device? Something that hides from Radar?

 

[Fabula Caromed]

@Ak'lya All stealth is restricted. We've recently had a lot of people try to do a "sensor mask" as a cheap version of stealth. We are getting fed up with it. Expect to do a dev thread.

@[member="Carn Dista"] A: Starships. B: We've had other space stations, check the approved section for references. Naturally, I encourage you to collaborate with Factory Judges about it. Ayden Cater and Domino are the starship judges.

 

[Bluejay Ungolfen]

Ah, question. Say I had an NPC unit I wanted to make a factory submission for...where would that go? I know we used to have an NPC section but I don't remember what happened to it.
