-Cost is calculated for each item in the same basic manner. Each item has a number designated for both light and heavy{{  http://i.imgur.com/O5cGQA4.png?250|}}  materials. Those indicate the overall quantity of materials that go into the item, and can be increased or decreased by certain upgrades to the item. Obviously, as the quantity of materials goes up, so does the weight. A decent rule of thumb for a minimum weight is .5 lbs for each light material, and 2 lbs for each heavy material. The one caveat is that light points can never drop below 1, as that is the minimum material needed to either hold the item together, or is the entirety of the item.+Cost is calculated for each item in the same basic manner.

-Calculating the cost is done by accounting the value of the chosen material for each point used. So, for example, a plain shirt has 5 light materials in it. If it is made entirely out of SynAraS with no upgrades whatsoever, the shirt would cost 400ks, 80ks for each quantity of SynAraS included. Items //can// be made out of multiple materials if desired, but all materials need to be specified and accounted for. Each item has to account for all materials listed for it's item type, those counts are set.+Calculating the cost is done by accounting the value of the chosen material for each point used.

 There is a baseline cost of 25KS attached to any custom order for every 5 material points included, rounded up. This means something with 12 points would count as having 15, and would add 75KS to the total cost to reflect the labor involved in the creation. There is a baseline cost of 25KS attached to any custom order for every 5 material points included, rounded up.

-Typically, shoes cover the entire foot, and stop right above or below the angle. Shoes are comprised of a heavy, but flexible sole, a material to cover the rest of the foot and laces to secure and tighten them. In addition, most shoes have light to heavy padding on the inside.+Typically, shoes cover the entire foot, and stop right above or below the angle.

-**Field Maintenance Procedure**: The armor requires up to 2 hours of charging for it's powered functions after use, but it was designed with irregular maintenance schedules in mind, and needs very little in the way of regular maintenance as a result unless something seriously breaks down. Periodic maintenance from a well trained armorer is a good idea though.+**Field Maintenance Procedure**: The armor requires up to 2 hours of charging for its powered functions after use, but it was designed with irregular maintenance schedules in mind, and needs very little in the way of regular maintenance as a result unless something seriously breaks down.
