I was just trying to crunch numbers a bit... I just want to make sure I have not forgotten anything.. I am looking for the total numer of raw resources needed.
For sake of argument if seeking to make a set of Quad Primus Layered Composite Armor I would need the following resources -
Final Composite appearance (all 9 pieces) would require (not counting cloth and reinforced fiber panel);
430 Resources
11 Assault cores (I'll use advanced cores)
Each Advanced Assault Core requires;
250 Resources
3 Assault Segments
Each Assault Segment requires; (33 total segments needed)
35 Resources
4 Primus Layers
Each Primus Layer requires; (132 total layers needed)
81 Resources
So to get the final total resources needed the equation would be;
Appearance - 430*1 = 430
Cores -250*11 = 2,750
Segments - 35*3*11 = 1,155
Primus Layers = 81*4*3*11 = 10,692 (layer resources*Layers needed*Segments per core*segments needed for final appearance)
Total Resources Needed = 15,027
This sound right?

but thats only for one piece of armor right? multiply by 9 and you have a full suit

Umm, he has 11 cores, so it's the full suit minus the gloves and boots.

I take that back.
The resources for the gloves and boots are in the calculation.
I believe your calculationsare correct, CGGuns.

Not sure on the finals, but pretty sure that the rest are correct.
And people wonder why layered armor is so expensive.. sigh..

Thanks. 
A mathmatician I am not... Was trying to come up with a good way of understanding the costs associated with making a suit of armor and help with tryin to determine price..
What I learned was that Primus layers are expensive.
