https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/255598191/0/0/1 Written on the TWAB thread ALL armour styles should be ornaments I’ve an idea for 3 types of frames (upgradable) but it needs typing up Something like this [b][i]ARMOUR 3.0[/i][/b] [u]Part 1[/u] ALL armour is categorised into Frames Weights(1-3), with 1*Lightweight, 2**Intermediate & 3***Stronghold 5 pieces of armour ...all with the option to choose 1of3 weights (star rating * to ***) - these ratings increase/decrease Mobility/Resilience/Recovery All with their own pro’s & cons, including Crit Areas due to armour selection) Helm = Intelligence/Targeting Arms could equal Handling/Dexterity Chest = Durability/??? Legs = Traction/Speed Class Item = Etheric Mods/Specialist (EG, Lightweight x5 allows for speed & agility mods, but carries less resilience & vulnerability Build a true Titan tank with 5x pieces of 3***Stronghold, the ability to tank huge damage in PvE, but lack the agility to chase Lightweight Frames in PvP With the Current (Year3) 6 Stats {Mobility/Resilience/Recovery/Ordnance (replacing Grenades), Intelligence & Strength} all available to masterwork individually (apply Mobility/Strength/Intelligence MW etc) across all 5 Armour Slots Want to build a PvP Hunter ? Maybe a 3*Helm, 1*Arms, 2*Chest, 1*Legs, 2*Class Item) with Masterworks for 2xIntelligence 1xResilience & 2xOrdnance (this allows Super Regen, Ordnance Regen & a bump in Resilience) Each Frame option has varied & differing Mod slots, depending on Frame Class 1*-3* With a 3* Stronghold Frame being able to access more mod slots for Grenades, Heavy Weapon Mods etc [u]Part 2 [/u] Then cosmetically, ALL current W/G/B/P armour is turned into Cosmetic Ornaments (with some unloved White/Green/Blue & Purple armour sets retired)....this also allows ALL ornaments (Y1 through Y?) to be equipped Shaders [b]actually[/b] change the colours of armour With a rotating 4 triangular section, top triangle the primary colour! [u]Part 3 [/u] Mod system, the option to truly create a Ordnance Throwing Titan, or a SpellCaster Go ahead, invest in YOUR Frame Want to equip Raid mods? Fine, go ahead - equip on Class Item Want to style it out equip whichever Ornaments Build Multiple Frames, PvE & PvP, Speed vs Strength etc Currency & Materials to be decided Exotic Armour is separate, but can still be incorporated into Mod System/Frame System (1*-3* Exotics, anyone?) & Ornament System

This is exactly what I'm saying. I don't care how cool the New Monarchy armor set looks in that sexy dark red... if it doesn't have better stats than my current gear, then it's getting dismantled immediately.
