RESTRING

Level 130 Engineering Skill
Syntax: restring <covering about armor> <description>
restring <upper layer armor/container> <new string>

This is used to set the description you assume when wearing both a covering
helmet and a covering suit of body (about) armor, or to completely change
the string of a piece of uppermost layer armor or container to have a custom
appearance.

Restrings for covering armor are subject to strict guidelines:
- The armor could be worn by any character, so avoid character-specific
attributes like age, race, gender, and size.
- You must align the restring with the class of armor. Armor made with cloth
should not be restrung as "a being in heavy armor".
- Avoid terms which other characters in the game wouldn't know. That includes
concepts outside the Star Wars universe or references to canon which isn't
currently ingame.

Failure to follow these requirements could result in your character being
disallowed from using the skill.

Examples of Bad Covering Armor Restrings:
A being in an elegant dress - Dresses do not hide a person's identity
A man in a pair of overalls - What if a woman wears it? Don't include gender.
A human in a business suit - Has species in it. A Jawa could put it on.
Someone in a suit of armor - Uses the special keyword Someone.

You will also notice that none of these are actually armor.
