I'd have to say that this whole topic disproves what you have just said. Making a 14/3 plate would be impossible fora 10 point armorsmith. The best that could be done is 14/2. So right off the bat if we throw that one plate into a piece of composite my composite is 1% base higher than yours. Also, a 10 point smith can maybe make plates 4/6-8 when making high base segmetns. I regularly hit 4/10 on my high base plates. These are real extra resists that have nothing to do with HAM and go into making armor that a 10pointer cannot match. This is not meant to bash 10 pointers only to refute this comment.

even now without 12exp points you cant really be competitive on armor. none of my highend(high margin) armors can be made without 12points and 10-11 points of amazing on every step.
sure you can get 80/80/80 stuff with 10 points but then i can do it with my 2nd and 3rd tier resources on those crap suits. The ultralight 80k65b 70base/27stun 67base/40stun all take 12 points
I was commenting onrockanddroll's statement above. 10 point smiths can make just as high resistson Layers andSegments and even the final result. If you can make 14% Kinetic layers with 2nd and 3rd tier crap resources, then you must have the most amazing spawns of resources this side of heaven. 12 point smiths can't experimentbeyond the limit of the resources. Unless the crafting code has been altered in the past few hours...
In this era of armor, low HAM (Ultralight) has no impact in game. Only style.
I was responding to the 2nd half of your post.
and if you dont think ENC matters now you dont do alot of high end fighting. Sure it doesnt matter for normal stuff but regen becomes a huge factor for high level fights

I find that really hard to believe.
I don't. On Intrepid, back in the day, it took 10 points ( all great 4 point successes) to fill the special resist line. However, with 2 4 point amazings, that line was filled in only 8 points. That leaves a 10 pointer 2 points left. I think even a great would kick it to 3 base, but an amazing certainly would.

I make 14% Kinetic 3% base all day long as a 10 pt AS
Its all about the resources
Sorry but the maths say that is just not possible. You could max out the 14% kinetic with 8 points if you get all amazings - and had uber resources to start, but with the 2 points left you can not get the experimentation up to the 50% required for 3% base, even if you had 1000 OQ/SR materials, you would start at 30%, and making up the extra 20% with 2 points can not be done, so yes you are BS'ing us.

"this was pretty tough to hit considering it took 11 points of amazings"
What does that mean? You got 11 consecutive amazings?
I am a 10 pts armorsmith, with +20 Force sensitive experimentation and drink Bespin port, use 900+ materials andthe maxI can get is only two consecutive amazings per hour of fast experimentation.....Never got more than two consecutives...
Am I doin sthg wrong? or are the +20 armor experimentation points a MUST if u want to get more than 2 amazings?
Anyway, congratulations to you!
