lol...you serious? well..orange items are Modable..you can put in armour,enhencements and mods in it...and upgrade it allways to fit your level..if you have the mods...and enhencements..
you can make them mit crafting or get em from commendations vendors on planets or even make them on your own...
infact it means you can use a orange cloth/armour till you lvl 50 if you like the looking of it..you just need to update it..
cant believe people still dont know this
