Please help, i'm starting to lose it.
I'm a new (novice) armourer slowly working my way up. I can create bone armour no problem, not top notch armor but i'm selling it cheap to players who don't need the Uber stuff yet.
I've tried creating Mabari (recon) armor today. Segments are not bad coming up with both kinetic and energy protection of about 400 each.Great no problem.
As soon as i create a Core out of any of these segments, no matter what materials i use I get a kinetic protection of 0 (zero).
I've tried using better quality materials, i've tried using cheaper materials and i've tried using my 1 experiment point to get better protection. Even when i get "a great success" i still get zero in the kinetic line.
Is this something i need to wait for ? is it my materials ? do i need separate "add ons" ? or is it one of the "known problems" i keep reading about.
Any help and advice greatly appreciated.
TIA

prolly another bug, or you dont get the kinetic above 1k in the first place, dunno never made it that bad 
Anyway assault gets -1k Energy and +1k Kin
Recon gets -1k Kin and +1k energy
Battle is no penalty or bonus
this could affect your crafting and get it to 0 cause it wont go below 0 i gather

I've seen this question asked once before, and I have seen a couple of pieces of armor like this. Poti's pretty much got it. You likely don't have enough experiment points yet to raise the resists enought to get the kinetic out of the basement. The special protection of your finished armor would have to be at least 1001 to see any kinetic protection. Because the kinetic protection of unlayered recon armor is 1000 points less that the special protection, 1001 special protection mabari would have 1 kinetic and 2001 energy protection.
You don't have this problem with bone because it is battle armor and the resists are the same across the board.

thanks for the help guys, that sort of makes sense i suppose, I'll just have to survive on bone armour until i can move up a stage.
I was gonna opt for the appearance options (chitin and wookie armour i think) but after a rethink, think i'll go for...column 4 (can't remember the name) that will up my experiment points and give me the extra recon core, maybe that will be what i need for a bit of punch.
As a separate question, has anyone done or are you aware of a bit of an armorsmith guide as i'm relying on guesswork and this forum. the help screens don't really explainhow the various factor (malleabilty, quality etc) actually affect the finished article.
Thanks for the previosu help.
