New Armor Idea - Heavy Commando
« on: May 27, 2017, 03:52 AM »
Hey everyone,

I'm looking to start on my armor any day now and had a few questions before I do. I want to design a Heavy Commando style armor set. Hopefully this is allowed.

1: Is there any reason EVA foam is not allowed as a base for the armor plates? To give them more bulk.
2: Is foot armor required? Or can I wear my heavy boots?
3: Is Crusade style armor still allowed in the group? Or is it now all modern style? (Not a huge fan of the diamond in the chest)

I'm going to upload a few pics of a basic idea for what i'm looking for. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
First image is more for design aspects. Pardon the rough sketch.

Simply put, almost anything EVA can do Sintra/metal can do better (including layering) and sintra/metal are more permanent which is why no EVA is allowed unless your using it as padding inside your helmet or inside your knee plates or something similar (like a cushion)

2: Is foot armor required? Or can I wear my heavy boots?

no unless you're trying to make your character with "medium" or "heavy" coverage.

3: Is Crusade style armor still allowed in the group? Or is it now all modern style? (Not a huge fan of the diamond in the chest)

Late crusaders are totally doable! and like you said, have no diamond. If you do a late crusader you may want to do some research on the armor style though as some of your sketches look more modern.

Thank you Briks for all the info. I spent all night looking at various armor patterns and found one far closer to what I had originally thought.



I'm hoping for something very close to this.
1: Removing the hoses and fan from chest
2: Re-design the backpack to not include the cannon out the top.

Otherwise this is almost perfect, save for a slight color mod. Please let me know if this is closer to the "Late Crusade" / "Old Republic" feel I was asking about before.
