Crushgaunts

[Azreal]

They're Canon, but we still have to submit a whole technology thing since they're made of Mando-Iron right?

[member="Azreal "]- Yuuup. Specifically they function because of micro-ionization of the beskar. My crushgaunts took a 10 post dev thread since I was a mando, but your mileage may vary.

Yes and no. The factory is optional. You do not 'have' to submit anything through the factory. Though, if you are using something against another writer that said writer does not think your character should have access to, they or an RPJ can request that you make a factory submission for said item.

I, personally, would not see anything wrong with "durasteel" crushgaunts. But I do not claim to be an expert on that particular bit of technology.
I do believe, though, that a number of "off-brand" gauntlets have been made that function similarly to Crushgaunts, but without the Beskar.
Typically, they utilize Cortosis or Ionite or some other rare metal.
If you browse the Marketplace, you might be able to find something suitable.


But! From a Factory standpoint. If you submit a suit of armor or any other item that includes canon, beskar crushgaunts, then yes. In that case, you would need to do a suitable development thread.

Canon items, meaning items unchanged from canon sources, do not require a tech sub. If you have a Mandalorian beskad made of Mandalorian Iron, which is canon for the weapon, then you do not need a submission. Basic, simple, canon beskar'gam made of beskar likewise does not need a tech submission. Crushgaunts are made of micronized beskar. So long as they're unchanged from canon, they don't require a submission.

 

[Azreal]

Oh? Well, that seems reasonable. I didn't actually know that...

@Azreal
Aye. Now putting two canon things together will probably require a submission. Say you put a canon personal stealth cloak on a suit of beskar'gam made of beskar. That will probably require a sub. Just the beskar, though? So long as it's unaltered canon, you're good.

But what about the design?

 

[Popo]

@Azreal
Aesthetics are meaningless lol Your beskar'gam could be an easter bunny suit, but it's till beskar'gam. Just don't, y'know, be ridiculous about it. Like wearing an easter bunny suit.

 

[Azrael]

So you are looking to have specific Mandalorian armor and gear and yet for some reason won't simply be a Mandalorian. Why not?

Whaaaaat, tis only crushgaunts can't a non-Mando simply have some handy? (haha punny)

@Azreal
There are no rules on who can own a canon item, but for stuff that's traditionally from only one culture or something similar, generally just showing how you got it (i.e. heirloom, stole it, a trophy, etc.) is often encouraged.

TL;DR - No rules against, but be mindful that IC'ly it can draw unwanted attention.

I am not saying you cannot get it, I am simply questioning why you want the Mandalorian iconic stuff and not their culture.

 

[Arla Ordo]

It's probably the rumours of Basabas mating stick.

I could have it has a trophy? That's pretty cool actually and I don't mind the IC attention sooooooo much. (Inb4 all Mandos set to kill on sight mode)

It's probably the rumours of Basabas mating stick.

[member="Arla Balor"]
And yes that stick does scare me *shivers*

(Soz I couldn't edit this in -on mobile-) Edit:I'm so stupid with tech ;^;

[member="Azrael"] don't worry about my apprentice [member="azreal"] I will teach him mandalorian culture when we get to his war training, and tell him to study you lot, as to be fair you are some best warriors out there.
