It is a definite improvement that armor gets different stats relative to their effectiveness pre-CU, now they just have to adjust the numbers so that good armor pre-CU-crafted is as good as good armor post-CU-crafted. And they also have to figure out how to do with sliced items.

Ehh.... pardon my ignorance, but could someone post the stats for, say, your average piece of armour after CURB conversions? Just for comparison's sake? Sorry, but I'm not a regular on this board, but I do have an RIS suit and I'd like to see if they actually made it the "epic" armour they said they would.

Our Guild smith is logging now on Gorath test, on his way to the Bothan, if I can catch him we'll place a attachment in the piece.

0% hindrance? Seems almost too good. Might be the new crafter armor, "only" need to get a novice combat prof for 45sp to wear this high protection armor with no downsides.

When you have hindrance mitigations, they automatically apply to any armor in your inventory. Assuming the person doing the describing had Battle Armor mitigation, this makes total sense.
Hindrances are totally dependent on resists ... as a Master Armorsmith / Master Smuggler on TC-Ep3, I saw the hindrances rise on my armor as I sliced them. (The way slicing affects armor right now is ... interesting, to say the least.)

gotcha... its a inverse square formula.. Basically its a dminishing returns. 4062 would be about 36-38% resist armor. Max is 10000 and 60% armor we believe.

Formula for calculating resists in % is 0.011*R-(5*10^-7)*R^2
With R = the armor rating.
