Thread: Trouble Hitting 6k on Protects.

Hello all, I am looking for a little advice. I am having a hard time hitting 6k on protects for battle armor. The best cores i have managed to run are at 5559. My resources are in the same general range, so I am wondering which would be better to try and improve.
My segments are coming out at 921 using the following. Stats are listed as OQ/SR...
Steel 910 / 918
Aluminum 956 / 820
Polymer 875 / 952
Wooly Hide 905 / 877
The cores using these segments and the following resources come out at 5959...
Bristley Hide 920 / 918
Fiberplast 837 / 962
Extrusive Ore 911 / 937
Copper 980 / 470
Amorphous 998 / 817
I am wondering which resource I should go after first to try and improve these cores up to 5600. It would look like the Beyrllius Copper was the weak point, but I haven't ever seen it with an SR much higher, and it makes the quality bar almost full green on its slot. Would i be better off looking at improving the segments or the resources in the cores.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Increase your steel and polymer at the segment stage first. They will make a big difference since 25 units out of a possible 35 units per segment come from these and any increase is multiplied by 3 since 3 segments are used per core.
After this, go for your fiberplast and ore at the core stage, better ones should be possible to find. Your bery copper will not get much better than you already have.
Anyone on Kettemore with good Poly for sale? LoL
(yes..i'll check my trade forums, 100k of something just went for b/o of 25cpubefore I saw the post...and I'm not uber rich yet either)

look at your segments closely, if you aren't capping on your cores and your core resources are good poly is usually key in getting your cores to cap. I know it sounds like alot of money 25cpu but it isn't and if it takes that to cap, be prepared to spend the money.

Agreed, polymer is now one of the most important resources I think. It can make a huge difference to segment resources given that its nearly half the result and that in turn can contribute a lot at the core stage. An uber polymer came in on farstar a few weeks back just as I was running out of my previous stuff and my segments jumped from 940-950 to 980's
My other segment resources are very good as well, even the hide. Once you have the good polymer and steel its then time to work on the non ferrous and hide.
