"... which can be made up for with just chemistry AC nano clusters instead of both imp / pro AND melee martial arts clusters... look at the slots that chemistry AC would fit as opposed to imp / proj clusters... there is a DEFINITE advantage to Elite... but this isnt just about Elite armor. "
no, you cannot.
unless to want your implants to require SENSE
pretty f'n uselss for the professions that are able to use Elite (Chemical AC clusters almost always force the sence req..
go download nanonanny and see for yourself)
so, again, EVERY clan player should get skill bonuses
just because SOME omnis get 'kewl' looking black armor?
blah
the whole advantage/disadvantage system is non-existant.
save the side-politics for ingame.
And, yes, only combat advantages can be considered.
Because in a fight only AC / skill points / weapon QL / and atk rating matter.
"haha, you may hit harder than me, but i spent 8K less on my Q125 implant set than you!"
