At least the Imp collectors edition set is actually widely used by NPCs. The Republic officer set is used by only a small handful of NPCs, and is not really a set that represents republic officers very well.

Thanks for that tip. Normally Invision based forums auto embed so I never learned other ways to bring in images. Good suggestions too. The generic soldier armor used by NPCs often lack any Republic insignia So an update or new version would go a long ways. Also you can have more than armor made available, things like standard issue blaster rifle and pistol would be great for players too, especially since the blaster rifle is no longer obtainable They did add a ton of armors a few patches ago and they were fantastic, so hopefully they keep it up

These 3 are the ones associated with republic troopers We have so many combat armor options while we have basically zero uniforms available. The Imps actually have the opposite.

There are 3 outfit sets in game that should be available to players for RP reasons. https://i.imgur.com/1KW01Wq.png The first is the Trooper's starting outfit. Throughout the game, this outfit is used by Republic soldier NPCs as an enlisted duty uniform. There is only one set attainable by the player and its only for new characters and is considered trash loot with no way to acquire it again (outside of asking customer support) The second is found on junior officer NPCs, lieutenants and captains. The third is found on senior officer NPCs, most obviously the "Republic General" stronghold decoration. It would be nice to have actual duty uniforms for both my characters and companions. I find it silly the only available gear for the Republic military is combat gear, especially since Empire characters get a variety of duty/dress uniforms to choose from. (While the Republic officer uniform from the CE vendor is an option, it shouldn't be the only one. Especially as its not an outfit soldier NPCs are wearing, it seems more navy based)

Should be an option for sure

I would like to see some standard Republic weapons added to the Cartel Market, as they are otherwise unobtainable. The standard issue blaster for the Republic is the Trooper's Inheritance Blaster Rifle which is now unobtainable. This could be moved to the Cartel Market and be a big seller for RP'ers. The standard issue pistol is only attainable as a starting companion weapon for a few companions.

The Empire has a bunch of dress uniform and officer uniform packs on the cartel market. Add these Republic soldier uniforms to the cartel market to even things up a bit. The first one is technically attainable as the starting outfit for the trooper, but its unobtainable after that and very easy to lose.

They should make the items available through other means. The Trooper's inheritance blaster is the only in-game exact match to the standard issue Republic rifle in the game.

There are several armors that have unique color schemes and no Havoc Squad markings that are used throughout the game. Some examples: This heavy armor. This light armor. This alternate light armor seen prominently on Ord Mantell.

There's a few Republic soldier uniforms that are in the game that players should have access to for RP purposes. The first is the starting outfit for Republic troopers. This armor is only attainable once when a trooper character starts on Ord Mantell. It is considered trash loot and is easily lost. This uniform should be available for players to get for themselves and their companions. The other uniforms in this list are actually variants of this uniform, which is why players should have access to them. The second is the same uniform with an additional pauldron. This uniform is seen on Republic officer NPCs on various planets. The last uniform is seen on high ranking Republic officers. This can be seen on the "Republic General" stronghold decoration, as well as NPCs in the world.

There would be a long list of uniforms that should be available to players. Things like some of the Imperial Trooper armors and Officer uniforms, the Republic Soldier armors and Officer uniforms, the standard issue weapons the NPCs use. That's all for another thread. You are only given one of the starting armors and it is bound. Its considered trash loot so its very easy to lose. The main point of this post is to ask the devs to let us buy them, in case they get deleted or if we want them for our companions. The only way to get a replacement set is to ask customer support, and I don't think that's the best solution.

No, it is not the Republic Officer set. I actually have the Collector's Edition. The officer's set I'm talking about is literally the starting armor with a shoulder pauldron. It's worn by NPCs anywhere there are Republic soldiers. I have a photo of it linked in the OP. There's actually a third version of the uniform worn by NPCs that are Generals. You can see this variant with the Republic General stronghold decoration. The Collector's Edition officer set is only worn by a few NPCs on Carrick Station.

Right now, the starting armors are considered trash loot, and you can only obtain a single set by creating a character. The only other way to get them is to contact customer support. This is a shame because those starting armors, are really good uniforms. The Trooper one especially is worn by many NPCs as a Republic soldier duty uniform. It would be nice to be able to obtain this armor without going through customer support. There is also an officer variant worn by NPCs that should be made available to players. The Imperials don't have an officer version of their starting armor, but their starting armor should also be available because it looks like a great undersuit for combat armor. Imperial NPCs also have a basic dress uniforms that would be great for the player to obtain. I don't know why these uniforms should be kept from the player.
