I'm curious about something. Don't know if anyone else has brought this up yet. Apologies if so.

If we have armors that show off so much of character bodies why don't we have anything like body markings/tattoos yet? Or form fitting body suits?

Back at launch this really didn't matter since the dancer outfit was really the only revealing outfit, but now given that the revealing skimpy armors are in high demand or sell well or whatever, wouldn't it make sense to add or start selling body markings? Especially for races like the Zabrak.

As for body suits I'm talking about a one piece suit that covers the body from the neck down that's a solid color. This would basically be a replacement for the naked/underwear character model. Note that someone who feels like X revealing armor looks bad/silly might suddenly like it better if it had a black (or whatever color) body suit under it, because then it's no longer revealing but more of a complete look.

Though I doubt they could add them, I would love body tattoos and markings.

I think it's more just a uniform look, but not really armor. Might stop a vibroblade (if they existed in the movies) but not blasters. Which, is why I have no problem with my trooper not wearing armor. Cause the armor is the "uniform" not actually protecting her from blaster fire. Which, with no armor she can move better, and dodge the blaster fire!

That's not really true.
The Clone Trooper armour was actually pretty effective (according to the Lore), but when Palpatine took over and reshaped the clone trooper army into the storm trooper army, he also redesigned their armour.
Let's just say that Palpatine was not very interested in protecting his disposable troops and more interested in creating a unified look and saving money.

So the armour sets in this game are pretty effective against blasters, so wearing no armour would be a setback.
Of course, it's still your choice, but if you do look at it as a "uniform", she would be breaking some important rules by not wearing it.

Ha true, though I also say she's the new leader of Havoc Squad and she's adopted a more casual look for everyone. If the Republic has a problem with it, they can court-martial her, and then's who's going to clean up the old Havoc Squad's mess? LOL funny i know but i just like the look of the relaxed jumpsuit dyed red and orange with the jori daragon loincloth. My trooper wears it and the only companions that don't are the droids.

Oh I don't mind how anyone dresses up their havoc squad, I was just pointing out that it's only the stormtrooper armour that is bad, not all armour in general.
(in fact the stormtrooper armour was more of an enviromental suit than an armour set anyway)

If blaster fire is as fast as a bullet, this will not happen. See Mythbusters, episode 167 (2011 Season).

I agree..... There is plenty of revealing cloths in the game.. Give us some armor.

Or simple garments.
