Thanks, I did attend an armor building get -together , but I was looking for specifics on Assassin and or Gunslinger kits, weapons etc. If there are any? Or Is there a way to contact someone in any one of those groups to get more detail?
Thanks again

If you became a supporter of the forum you would be able to access the Brigades area of this forum.
But I strongly suggest you first aim for clearance at a basic level first and then upgrade to Brigades with a new wip there so we can help you develop further ;)

Would segmented upper torso armor still qualify for heavy? Or does it have to be one piece?

It depends on the level of coverage of the rest of you, not what style of torso you use

So you're saying I can use segmented torso armor for Heavy class?

If you are doing a modern era kit, you can use any approved modern style torso armour and it will not have any effect on whether the overall kit is counted as light or heavy armour.
You can use Legacy style, which is full cover segmented if you wish to. It is the amount of armour not the style that counts for cover.

Please refer to first post: Is my armour light, medium or heavy?

Essentially Kris is right as per, type of armour has nothing to do with if light, medium or heavy but is more coverage.
The first post gives rough visual examples of what coverage is needed as well as parts required.

Hope it helps  :like:

Heavy armor question
« Reply #133 on: Mar 07, 2020, 01:18 PM »
I'm planning to do a heavy trooper build, I've looked at the helmet requirements but I'm asking just to be sure. I found a base helmet I like that I want to add on toand was wondering if it's acceptable
https://www.etsy.com/listing/536900964/mandowar-wnew-mouthpiece-mandalorian?show_sold_out_detail=1&frs=1

Also I'd like to make a heavy blaster like paz vizla and was wondering if it's also acceptable

Thats Zero cool stuff, pretty sure they are not clearable as it has identifiable toy parts.

Heavy blaster like PAZ shouldn't be an issue ;D

It shouldn't have any toy parts and the mouth piece allows for a 2/3 T visor, the thing that I haven't seen anything about on the requirements is about the widened visor than a straight T.

This is more a question for the App team, you may want to ask them in  Mandalorian Q&A, this thread is purely "will this be light, medium or heavy armour?" ;)

Are the different tiers of armor viable for all periods, or are some classes limited to some eras (for example, heavy armor falling out of use before the Post Imperial era, or something like that)?

I don't think so, at least not in the modern/PI realm. Obviously heavy still exists in PI...

I’m a bit confused as far as PI classification goes.

I see folks saying you don’t go up one level until you have all armor pieces of the previous level. But for example, PI CRLs don’t require knee armor. Does that mean any PI kit without knee armor does not qualify for the Light Armor classification? Even if we took a heavy kit like Paz and only removed the knees?

I am sorry if this has been answered somewhere in this long thread, but what is the significance of the armour classes? I am new to this forum but I haven't seen them mentioned anywhere in the CRLs or any membership requirements.

It's largely irrelevant for official membership / approval purposes - when it comes time for your kit approval, you either meet the CRLs or you don't. You can add more than the minimum prior to applying, but keep in mind that more parts means more to build before applying and more things for the approval team to look at (and potentially note as not meeting CRLs).
It's a handy convention when looking at the various professions in the Brigades - some of them require more than CRL minimum armor, and some only require the minimum.
