SPECIAL FEATURES

• Insulated armourweave bodyglove
• Environmental seal functionality
• Advanced breathing filters
• Oxygen reserve tank (2 hours)
• IFF circuitry for identification
• Holographic HUD
• Multi-frequency target and acquisition system
• Holographic vision processors (Thermal/Nightvision/Ultraviolet/Infrared)
• Automatic polarising and anti-flash blinding lenses
• Audio and video recorders
• Encrypted internal comlink
• Energy sink
• Enhanced optics suite
• Enviro filter
• Magno-grip boots
• Sound dampening overlay

Strengths:

• The armour is completely sealed against dangerous environments and biological weaponry and should its advanced filters not be enough, the wearer can utilize the oxygen reserve tank for up to 2 hours
• Magno-grip boots let Kaiza magnetize herself to the surface she stands on
• By combining materials highly resistant to damage and various counter-measuring devices, the armour provides Kaiza with a great deal of protection, be it from blasters or lightsabers
• Thanks to military-grade technologies, such as the holographic HUD or anti-flash lenses within the helmet, Kaiza can quickly orient herself on the battlefield

Weaknesses:

• Although light and fully articulated, the suit of armour still limits the wearer’s agility - jumping, climbing, performing acrobatic manoeuvres, moving around, all will be slightly clumsier and demanding greater energy expenditure
• Armpits, popliteal, and other sections shielded only by armourweave are highly vulnerable to attacks
• Certain environments, such as swamps and muddy fields, will severely hinder the wearer’s movement and quickly lead to exhaustion, making the armour’s weak points easy to exploit
• Heavy blaster rifles, slugthrowers and blunt melee weapons can dent the plates, further inconveniencing Kaiza’s movement and having a good chance of delivering grisly injuries without necessarily penetrating the armour itself – given the suit’s sealed nature, such wounds will be impossible to treat lest Kaiza removes the armour
• Despite offering impressive protection against physical attacks, there is nothing special that’d shield the wearer from the Force
• Slugthrowers with armour-piercing ammunition will find little trouble in getting through the suit's plates
• Getting hit by several EMP or Ion blasts in quick succession will temporarily knock out the armour's internal systems, disabling the helmet's functions - the most crucial of them being the advanced breathing filter, leading to the wearer's exposure to harmful environments and biological weaponry

DESCRIPTION
As tensions and hostilities rise all over the galaxy and peacekeepers are needed more than ever, Kaiza Pawaro is forced to embrace her new role as Jedi, ending conflicts and opposing those who threaten civilization itself. Given the task’s monumental and extremely dangerous nature, Silver Jedi armour smiths have manufactured a light, yet durable piece of equipment for their sister in faith. Aiming to keep its Jedi wearer alive, the suit offers several layers of protection that should give the Jedi a chance to live long enough to see the Sith defeated. From armourweave bodyglove to plates of phrik and reinforced duraplast, the suit possesses high defensive qualities while keeping mobility in mind, as Kaiza needs to retain her sword-fighting capability. It’s a compromise – to avoid fully sacrificing the wearer’s agility, joints have been left exposed, covered only by armourweave.

Two energy sinks and a standard combat de-ionizer act as additional measures to counter or absorb blaster and ionic energy, while a sound-dampening overlay helps to shield the wearer from sonic blasts.

Finally, the helmet is filled with advanced functions designed to assist the wear, be it for utility or convenience. Audio and video recorders, encrypted internal comlink, multi-frequency target and acquisition system, holographic HUD and other technologies all aim to help Kaiza move through battlefields and quickly assess chaotic situations that come with battle. All those features are obviously lost should the wearer choose to expose her face by removing the face mask, which is attached to the helmet via a pressurized seal.

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

Quality: 9

• Quality ratings have been phased out. You don't need to include it.

Although light and fully articulated, the suit of armour still limits the wearer’s agility

• If it's light and fully articulated, than how exactly does it limit the wearer's agility? This doesn't read like a Weakness

Certain environments will severely hinder the wearer’s movement, making the armour’s weak points easy to exploit

• Please be specific here. What kind of environments?

Especially powerful weapons can dent the plates, further inconveniencing Kaiza’s movement

High-calibre slugthrowers in particular carry a good chance of delivering grisly injuries without necessarily penetrating the armour itself – and given the suit’s sealed nature, such wounds will be impossible to treat lest Kaiza removes the armour

• Powerful weapons of what type? Your armor lists as highly resistant in almost every category. Please be specific.
• The second quote is the same Weakness more or less, just worded differently. Please combine them.

Resistances:
- Blasters: High
- Kinetic: Average
- Lightsabers: Extreme
- Sonic: Very high
- EMP/Ion: Very high

On the whole, you have normal or above average resistances in nearly every category, and a scant few real Weaknesses to balance it out. Either drop some of the Resistances to normal levels, or balance them out with at least two solid Weaknesses that impact the wearer in a meaningful way.

Address these requests and we'll work our way on from there.

Thank you very much for helping me out with this - it's nice to get an educated opinion!

OK, there we go! Addressed these things, went into more detail with some weaknesses, changed Very High stats to High. Lemme know what else needs to be fixed!

Alright, this is looking better now, but we still have some way to go to approval.

Right now, your solid strengths are:

• Lightsaber resistant
• Blaster resistant
• Sonic damage resistant
• EMP/Ion resistant
• Extreme temperature resistant
• Posion / biological agent resistant

And your solid weaknesses are:

• Vulnerable at the joints
• Kinetic impact transfer through the plates

The rest are mostly fluff, marginally relevant, or just the natural state of most items. "Lack of Force resistance" is less of a weakness and more of a default trait of 99% tech. This is currently still unbalanced. Please tone down some of the resistances and add at least one more significant Weakness to the armor.

Done and done - lowered kinetic, sonic, EMP resistances, added some weaknesses.

<p>Awesome. Pending Admin Approval. Thanks! [member="Cira"]</p>
