So how does adaptive gear work? Also where can you get the republic fleet gear once you hit social level 2?

I'm curious about this too. Haven't logged in yet. Is all orange gear now adaptable or just the social items?

Only Social Items.

 

Here is the list:

 

Adaptive Gear Weight

 

Adaptive gear is a new kind of armor weight. When you equip Adaptive armor, your character will use it to maximum effect, gaining the benefits of the highest armor weight you can equip. Adaptive armor also works for companions, utilizing their best armor weight. This allows every class in the game to use the social gear sets without being penalized, and without having multiple sets of gear just to set a different weight. With the introduction of the Adaptive armor system in Game Update 1.3, we’re rolling out these social gear sets with the Adaptive weight:

 

•Balmorran Resistance

•Civilian Pilot

•CorSec Uniform

•Death’s Claw Armor

•Elegent Dress

•Formal Suit

•Hailstorm Brotherhood

•Hutt Cartel

•Imperial Containment Officer

•Imperial Dancer

•Imperial Pilot

•Imperial Trooper

•Karagga’s Unyielding Helm (single item)

•Pilot’s Suit

•Prisoner’s

•Republic Containment Officer

•Republic Dancer

•Republic Officer

•Republic Pilot

•Sand People

•Slave Girl

•Ulgo Noble

•Voss Mystic

 

All existing items will be updated, so if you have already acquired them they will show the adaptive weight in 1.3.
