Thread: Should 6200+ Kinetic/Energy Primus-Layered cores cap at 6600?

Backfiguring to determine all your stats....
Primus layers... 551 total for the 12
Increase to the stats on the final combine... 6551-6215=336
6000-336=5664 This would have been the across the board stats on your cores had you not used layers.
5664+551 = 6215 (your kin/en with primus layers)
5664-551 = 5113 (your special protection stats with primus layers)
Ok, so now we know your stats on unlayered cores would be 5664 across the board, primus layered cores would be 6215 kin/en, 5113 sp
If your last run was in the 6100+ range, like you mentioned and came out with the same stats (I'm assuming you mean 6551 on the final piece), I'm guessing you had found some better segment or core resources. Lets say, you were at 5614 across the board, unlayered (your previous Naboo Bristley was not as good as you have now, or whatever).
6000-5614=386 This is the amount that will be added to all stats on the final combine.
If you used the exact same primus layers, the cores would have been:
5614+551 = 6165 kin/en
5614-551 = 5063 sp
Add your 386 to each:
6165+386 = 6551 kin/en (exact same stats)
5063+386 = 5449 sp (exact same stats)
So.... going from 5614 to 5664 on your unlayered cores does absolutely nothing to improve the armor, you may want to back off on some of the segment or core resources and save them. Try and keep the stats just barely above 5600.
The only way you would get to 6600 would be to have 600 value layers (50 each). This could ONLY be accomplished by having 1000oq/765sr Neutronium, and 1000oq/1000sr on the rest. I dont know if even ONE of those "perfect" resources has spawned on any of the servers, but, definitely not all 5.
6551 is pretty awesome though... you just aren't gonna be able to get much higher - just keep an eye out for any of those 5 that show up with a server-best-ever spawn.
