Okay, I just found a piece of chest armor that I really like the look of. However, it is just green so won't last long. Is there a way to add armor, mod, endur, slots, or find an orange version of it?

There are occasions where there will be an orange variant of armour that exists in the game but you cannot (yet) learn a schematic via a piece of armour you have picked up.

 

I'd suggest using on the sites that have data mined the game such as torhead to see if an orange version exists, if not then all you can do is store it up against a future update

If you listed the item name, someone might be able to help you out as far as finding an orange version of the gear.

There's no way to upgrade a green and no easy way of searching for a mod-able variant, but, as he mentioned, if you post a link someone might be able to find you an orange that uses the same model or similar skin. Edited July 2, 2012 by Karl-Just-Karl

Thanks for the help. I got the name and then googled it (the www version of asking it here). I followed a few links until I found a synthweav version of it.
