Hi & thank you for reading my questions.
I have played a tailor and a chef but this is my first as an Armorsmith so any help would be great.
Now as a Tailor I just kept the basic items ready to snap together for my customers. Doing the work right when the customer asked. Just In Time Manufacturing.
Now in the armor smithing the basic is the Layers & the segments Then its all put into the core and next is the armor.
Now Layers are easy for me to understand.
Segments are another item. Now each core needs X number of segments but segments can have "Armor Segment Enhancement" inside of them. Now I guess these are loot drops?
So here are the questions:
"Armor Segment Enhancement" what are they and where does one get them?
Do armor segment enhancements stack inside cores?
The armor segments don't have to be factory identical in cores but cores have to be factory made so do you have to blow 3 "Armor Segment Enhancement" to make a schmatic for a few cores?
The Secundas, Primus & Tertius layers can someone explain them? I found on the boards that if you add them they take away other layers protection so what is good about them and should they be used?
Thanks again for any help on this.

First, head up to the Please Read sticky for a link to the FAQs. Specifically, check out Thula's loot guide for info on crafting with enhancers. Basically, no, you don't have to blow three identical enhancers when creating enhanced cores. The segments within a core do not have to be identical to each other, but they must be identical from core to core. So you make factory runs of segments A, B, and C and then put one of each in a core schematic so that each core contains and A, B, and C segment.
Layers are entirely optional in a suit. They add greatly to the expense of a suit while usually adding a modicum of protection. All layers operate by boosting one stat while lowering an opposing stat. I'd say 95 percent of us use primus and energy layers to the exclusion of all else. Here's a nice post on caps and the effect of layers.

Yeah...I could see how people misunderstand that title too. Maybe it should be titled "AS FAQ's - Read Here Before Posting".
