Description:

This armor was designed by Allya Vi'Dreya, with the help of CIS armor makers, as an almost knock off version of the Mandalorian armor. It was born from her desire to wear protective armor, but to separate herself from both her father and mothers legacies. It is not as durable or protective as true Mandalorian armor, and the aesthetics are completely different.

It's built with overlapping lightweight titanium alloy plates, over the more critical areas, and a lighter plastoid composite over the less important parts of her body. Under the armor is a quantum fiber weave bodysuit, that helps absorb blaster attacks, and offers a small amount of protection from vibrations caused by sonic weapons. Into the armor, are small heater and cooler units, to help regulate her body temperature in the armor.

The helmet is a lightweight, but advanced hardware is placed inside, allowing her viewplate to bring up a large amount of combat data, enhance visuals, and allow her to communicate long distances. The vambraces are aesthetically changed Mandalorian vambraces, allowing her to erase the cultural connection, but keep the devastating weaponry found inside them.

Good Evening [member="Allya Vi'Dreya"],

I'm the judge reviewing your armour, and I have to say this is a nice little submission. I just have a few questions in terms of the wording I'd like to bring to your attention before I pass this through as approved.

Most of your weaknesses say that the defences aren't great, however, most of the resistances are at average. Average resistance isn't a weakness, it's regarded as the resistance of a basic suit of armour, only resistances lower than average count as weaknesses. I'd recommend you clarify the wording to avoid misunderstanding in the future. Also, if you could clarify what you mean by 'Not as durable as the armor its modeled after, needing to be repaired often', I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that, and how it's a weakness that could be used.

Please tag me back when you have your answers, or if you'd like me to go ahead and approve it without further consideration of the wordings.

I believe I fixed the wording, but if you have more issues, please let me know. Its simply my first factory submission so I'm learning how it all works, so feedback is great! [member="John Locke"]

I'm glad to help out, and if you have any questions feel free to ask, armours are my favourite thing to make.

So currently I notice you still have

Little protection against extreme heat or cold

Marked as a weakness, but you don't have a corresponding level in the resistances in either environmental or elemental.

Another thing for the future, weaknesses are generally seen as ways that a submission can be beaten if used in PvP. A common one for armour is weaker at the joints to allow for movement, things people can use in RP to give them a fighting chance.

Please let me know if you want to make any more adjustments or if you're happy with the armour the way it is.

Thanks for all this, it's helped me understand how this all works a lot better. I think I get the idea now. I think this should do it now. I hope I can pick your brain later for armor ideas when I upgrade her armor eventually!
