For some reason that happens to me too, but it isn't just my armor. Sometimes it screws up like that and I lose some of my gear. Only way I've found to really stop it is to save your character to bobafett before you leave a game and load him back up when you start a new one. It's probably just some little thing I missed in the in the instructions. The game screws up I think if you play single player, so that might be it, but my stuff dissapears on multi too. Wish I could help ya, but I really can't. Maybe someone else will respond. Later, and good luck.
