Armor and Kits: Tailor

When, and how, can a new character start using these pieces in the tailor?

Another question I have deals with the actual kits you slot on your character for extra powers. When I played a year or so ago, before all the changes, I could slot tactical kits that gave my character martial arts strike. However, looking at the new setup, with modules...it seems that I can only get the sweeping strikes version of martial arts at level 50. Am I missing something here, or is there no way for me to have martial arts strikes at the lower levels?

    Well...I just found out in game that you can't have any armor visuals shown till level 50.

    That's crazy...considering you were able to have them right away before.

    Why would they make such a big cosmetic change like that?

    Actually, you get access to more and more kit/armor pieces as you rank up. Also, if you still have any of the old kits, you can right click on them and Enable Visuals, which also works on some armors.

    What's the earliest level I would be able to use any armor and kit pieces in the tailor?

    So I just found out you can no longer get armor visuals till you go through the rep system which starts at level 40.

    Why would you take away such a great cosmetic feature from players like that?

    You used to be able to have these visuals as soon as you got any armor.

    This is so crazy to me, that you would make this change.

    I honestly cannot level 1-40+ without having those armor visuals.

    Please explain to me why you would make this COSMETIC only change.

    It's absurd.

    Sorry for being blunt...but that just ruins any replay value this game had for me.

    Whoever told you that was talking about the rep armor visuals, the old regular armor visuals now come as Alpha, Beta and Gamma styles with 5 types each, my lvl 19 engineer has access to the type 1 visuals for all three styles, when he hits 20 I expect to have access to the type 1 and type 2.
    Kit visuals are also dependent on rank as they come in various styles as well, atm my engi has access to the first level of kit visuals.
