" Their primitive weapons could only do so much to put a dent in their plating,"

- Quite the oversight on my part, unless in my mind when writing it I was referring to actually primitive weapons like spears and stones. 

Regardless I had in mind the armor's cosmetic effects to be more intimidating than it's actual effects being powerful. I mean, looking at that armor, does it even stop energy bolts aimed at your lower body? It didn't look like there was any plating other than the torso haha

Also, my icon doesn't look bad at all to me, even shrinked up on the map, however I found some alternatives for you if you like them better.
