As a previous post eluded to; it's all about the resources..... The are certain servers that do not have the resources to allow 80% kinetic ubese to be made but the resources for good composite could be readily available. So since it's a supply demand issue it is very possible for ubese to cost more than composite on a particular server. There is no question that composite is better armor... just look at the final stats in the base portection.... but it comes at the price of encumberance. For a server that has the resources for both to be made at high quality it simply comes down to what you can afford. In my opinion a top notch Ubese suit should sell for close to 1/3 to 1/2of a top notch composite suit. This is because Ubese will wear out faster and it doens't offer anywhere near the same base percentages. Not to brag, because these aren't fantastic stats, but the ubese I stock is 72-74kin with 19-21base. So the base is roughly 1/3 of it's unsliced comp counterpart but the HAM is going to be anywhere form 1/3 to 1/2 lower for the suit. For folks who can't afford to drop 1 million credits to buy a 80%kin comp suit, or for those who don't PvP, 1 mill is a waste of money when they could get all the protection the need to PvE for 275-400k. Also, how many people who are casual players of this game can afford to spend 2 or 3 million to purchase enough armor to garauntee a composite suit that is all effect slice or all encumberance sliced?? Just some thoughts to ponder... but i think for you to call folks pricks is a little off base because it sounds like it is just an issue of misinformation not malice... folks here on the boards have know that 80% kinetic ubese is possible for A LONG TIME, you are not ENLIGHTENING us with anythign new.
