Hita Folks,

So I just, finally, got my first piece of Comp together. The steel isn't fantastic, 650+, but outside that, all topnotch materials were used. My question is about getting base up. My comp chestpiece came out at 72 electric, 80 Kinetic, and 59 Base. From looking at others comp on my server, I see I am roughly out about 5% on electricity and about 7% out on base. I am wondering if I am missing a fundamental step here to get that last 5%-7%.

Materials and process. I used 3 2% base 13% kinetic layers in the seg with an 8 point exp in base and the last 2 in special to give me roughly 27 base, 27 kin, and I can't remember the electric. On final assembly of the chest, with these segs, I got the above numbers, again with 8 points to base and 2 to special.

If any one could make any suggestion, that would be great. To be prewfectly honest, I'm still not quite seeing how all these relationships work and I do have printed copies of some of the manuals here in the forum. I am slowly reading and experimenting as I go. As I said, any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks all, have fun.

Well how do ya like that Doro. 78 electric, 80 kinetic, and 65 base. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

Next questions. Is this a principle applicable to all armor or is comp special because base experimentation cause both base and special to change? Also, in your experience, is 65% base the max given certain resources or can you squeeze a little more out before you get into Janta jides and such?

I don't expect you to give away yer trade secrets, this little bit has helped enormously, and gives me new ideas on experimenting. Also, I do have AS Helper, just hadn't gotten into the nuts and bolts yet.

Thanks tons Doro

This is the crafting approach really for comp only. With Ubese, the base is soo low there is no reason to try and raise it. When crafting it, max special on layers and segs. Put the rest points wherever.

Also about the base on your comp, If you are able to max out the base on your layers, segs and final (saving one point in final combine for HAM) then thats the max you can get without enhancements. To raise the base higher is just a matter of getting better resources, having 12pts wouldnt even help.

Thanks to you to Govo. That was the approach I had been taking with other armors. Good to know I was on the right track. Just making sure. The better resources I figured but good to have that confirmed as well. It'll be nice to see what happens when I get some 900+ in OQ and SR together

Thanks
