It depends on the quality of your resources. You need everything to be very high, preferably with OQ and SR over 900. The advanced comp resources are a big part of that, they all need to be very good. That or spend millions on armor exp tapes.

Advanced Composite Segments are needed...and people getting 65% uunlayered?

I have been using blast layers. The resources that these layers require have high SR and OQ and are some of my best. I put points into experimental quality to push the base up to 4% and then put the rest of my points into experimental durability.

With a couple of amazings, my layer comes out:
4% Base
416 Integrity
12 Action Encumbrance
12 Mind Encubrance
4% Blast

Push experimental quality of the segment same as above and you get:
33% Base
13% Blast
8% Electric

The unsliced pants come out:

80% Blast
76% Electric
67% Base


With an effective slice the pants end up:

Specials
80% Blast
76% Electric
Base
89% Heat
89% Acid
89% Kinetic
89% Cold
89% Energy
89% Restraint

Heavy but good all around armor.

Wow thnx... And thnx for the other replies too.

I do know they are triple layered for STUN (since the geo caves now drop a bunch of stun weapons). Even with triple layering I still only get around 50% base (elect 61% / Kinetic 80% no slice)... of course my server has had absolute crap for resources these past 2 months.

What do some of you guys get for non-layered adv comp?

Edit: Guess this is a moot point though because all the numbers will be changing come Tuesday anyway huh?

The 65% base you see are layered no question about it. unlayered segments will cap at 25%, using 25% segments will give you 66-67% base with perfect resources. It's highly unlikely that your server has all 9 resources with OQ & SR at 950+.

12xp smiths can push out triple low encumb electric layers, putting the encumberance of the suit even lower than your 10xp composite without layers.
