Curious as to what layers people are using in there Kashyyykian Hunting Armor. I see people getting similarr stats as composite. This is what I had in mind but would like suggestions on how people are reaching 80%kin and good base. Are you expirementing on base first (like comp), then using the remaining points on durability?
Triple Layer Adv Seg:
Kin 4/7
Kin 4/7
Kin 4/7
Triple Layer Adv Seg:
Kin 2/14
Kin 4/7
Stun 2/12
I haven't tried these in the final craft yet, but want a little advice from the rest of you guys.

I've made 80% kinetic/58% base suits by using standard 3 4x4 kinetic layers, and found I was hitting the kinetic cap quite easily. My next sets had 2 10% stun/2% base stun layers with a 4x4 kinetic maxed in base protections, and those came out 21% stun, 78% kinetic/55% base. Ny current edition uses 2 9% stun/2% base (threw points in to get to 9% stun, rest in base) stun layers, a 4x4 kinetic maxed in base, and these suits are 19% stun, 80% kinetic, 57-58% base.
However, the wookies who buy my armor tell me that they'd prefer a triple stun layered armor, similar to comp - so I'll be crafting 39% stun hunting armor as soon as I can get my tailor contact to make me up some armor padding.

Tried a 3x stun layer segment over lunch today (layers experimented for max stun 13%) - given our current resources for segments on Radiant (at least the ones I have), it appears that the base would be unacceptably low. It also appeared that the suit would have a low kinetic value locked in the special protection. I don't think 3x stun will be a good choice. I've already made 13% stun, 80% kinetic, 56 base hunting armor (using 2x 4/4 kinetic layers and 1 2/13 stun layer - had them laying around). But I'm thinking of trying 2 stun layers and one kinetic in various configurationsto see how that would turn out.

Yeah, what he said (Im doing the exact same thing getting 80kin/energy 64/65%base)

I'm still experimenting w/ different setups... picking up what I can from the boards too....
Last Chest Plate I made came out 78% Kin w/ 44% Base and I used 3 Kinetic Layers that were 1% Base/6% Kinetic.
Will have to see if I can make a 4/4 Kinetic Layer w/ the HAM as low as possible and try only 2 and see if I can hit the stats you guys are getting.
I don't think the last stats I got are bad... but the Encumbrance turned out to be 331/167/376 - How are the rest of you doin on Encumbrance?? I didn't make any before the "change" to the Chest Plate Encumbrance... so I don't know if that's good or not.

Could anyone post their Advanced Kashyyykian Hunting Armor Segment stats? Should this be similar to what we see on an Advanced Composite Segment? I.E. 34-35% base...

My 3x stun layer segment is:
24% base
1181 integrity
60 H
60 A
62 M
39% stun
19% kinetic
It makes 78%kin/39%stun/59%base.
My 2x energy/1x kinetic segment is:
30% base
1551 integrity
54 H
54 A
55 M
17% energy
17% kinetic
It makes 80%kin/80%ene/64%base.
My Kinetic/Energy needs to be redone as Ive attained a few better resources. I could probably push it up to 66%base, maybe hit 67%base.

I can hit those stats on a segment, however my ingredients for the final piece must be far inferior, I only get around 59% base, 78% Kinetic, 77% Energy. I'm using 4% padding also but several of my resources are just the current spawns, which aren't great! I'll be hanging on to my good stuff until I can hit at least 60% base or so. Good post.

Wondering if anyone has been able to hit 80% kin using the following:
Kin 4/7
Stun 2/13
Stun 2/13
or would it be wiser to sub the Kin 4/7 for a Kin 2/14.
I haven't tried making any hunting armor piecesyet due to the disgustingly low Tat wooly on Tarquinas. So I'm speculating on the resultsas I wait for a new spawn....and looking for more of this great feed back.

I easily hit 80 kin with 3 13%/3% Stun Layers for a final product of 80 kin/40 stun/65 base (with only 21 oq yaving wood too)
Just be sure to bump up the special resist on ur segs to reach the 80 kin.

I think my segs are 29 base 38 stun 20 kinetic, and I end up with 39 stun 80 kin and 60-65 base depending on the crappiness of tat wooly I put into the final combine. I'd kill for a decent spawn of it on Ahazi...
