Speaking as a role-player, I totally agree. I enjoy being able to get a certain look. the piloting gear didn't use Social points, but it took me quite a few Space runs to get the commendations to gain it. It does seem like the light armor wearers get an unfair advantage. I mean, they offer the Social gear as a special reward fer gaining so many social points. You can always gear yer light armor wearing companions out, which I know many have. I am all for adding Med/Heavy social gear back into the game. Its doesn't make sense to have all of the social "special" gear be for Light armor wearers. I mean, slave outfits...uhh yeah, no heavy armor there...LOL...but what about special Mando gear?...That DEF wouldnt be "light" armor
