So I have read the "Item Grades" (IG) subsection of Anachronistic Gear in the SF2 GM Core several times now. Yet I am still confused as to what the cost for making 'tech' versions of PF2 armor should be. I know about the sidebar that says what the gold to credits change is. What I need to know is how much it would be for a suit of PF2 armor that can make use of the SF2 upgrade system. The IG text mentions paying half the base cost to do a full upgrade to SF standards (life support, etc), and then later says "In the case of armor, you can even allow players to pay only half the base price by giving the armor the exposed trait, denying themselves the benefits of environmental protections." So I'm just a little lost on how to handle things here.
For example I know that Full Plate is 30 gp (or 300 cr) for the unmodified suit of armor. What I can't seem to figure out is how much the armor should cost for the 'exposed' trait version, and the 'full-environmental' version. If someone could help me figure this out I'd be most appreciative since the text in the SF 2e GM Core is confusing me.
Thank you all in advance.
I think what it's saying is that you pay half the base cost (so 150 cr for Full Plate) to upgrade to full SF standards, or half that (so 75 cr for Full Plate) to upgrade it otherwise but have the Exposed Trait. That's how I would run it, at least.
