I have a friend who is a Master Art/DE/AS and I need him to make me a few pieces of bone armor. More than anything, I want the armor for looks. I figured I might as well get some effiency out of it, though, if I'm going to be wearing it.
Now, my first question is about the difference between regular and advanced bone armor segments. Does one just have a higher energy resistance?
Secondly, I have a good amount of voritor scales and voritor segments that I can use because they have a kinetic resistance. Is this the only way to get kinetic resistance in bone armor?
Lastly, since bone armor is made via the Engineering tree, would it be better to have a armorsmith or artisian make this?

you can make nice bone armor using the interwoven bone armor segment schematics.
with these you can make 80% energy bone armor.
i dont know how much energy you can get out of adv bone armor segs.
the adv bone armor segs and the interwoven bone armor segments are in the AS tree, so you better get an armorsmith make these for you.
the bone armor itself is in the artisan tree and uses artisan experimentation, so here an artisan will do best.

Ok, I know this may sound crazy, but since it is just for looks, I don't want it to impact me heavily, so I'm trying to go for something with as little encumberance as possible.
Also, can you tell me more about the interwoven bone armor segments? Are they a looted or quest schem?

1, Bone armor is acually pretty good, Low encum high energy %, geo-bone is better but very rare
2, if your going for bone get advanced, there is no drawback. just get a master armorer to make a schem for you, you need rori bone, and kammaris iron.. or get him to run you a crate of segs.. most will help you out. You dont need to be a master artisan but you do need atleast 4-4-0-0 as thats where all the exp points come from. Also if there is one thing a 14 point artisan can do and doo well its make bone armor. Bone armor is really the only thing that comes out better. Even the food is marginal by a couple mins longer use, or a couple points filling.
3, max energy then slice for encum,,. you will probly need a few peices.
4, if you add voritor scales, the seg enhancer not the seg replacement, you will get kin protection too for a slice encum increase stats should end up about 3% kin 50% energy,, which is pretty decent armor for faction mission and random npc shooting at you.
My personal survey gear is Geo-bone, with tantle helm, boots, chest.. has about 250 ham for the suit, i never did get it sliced.. next time i will though : )

if the bone armor is made using some of the night sister segs (that reduce enc) .. you can have a decent set of armor with 0 ham encumb. i have 2 sets like that now ... the resist on them is only around 60% and the others are around 14% .. but i can equip it without any buffs or penalty at all.

I had a set custom made with nightsister shards it is 70% energy The master tha made it used some energy layers and also some green geo-cubes to add to the condition, I have not taken delivery yet but i plan to and when i do today i will post the total ham on it!

the NS peices are used while the armor segments are being made =)

Ok, so I should use NS Shards to lower the encumb? Would these be used instead of the bone armor segments or as another component?

Ok, I've read through it all and there are a few things I'm still a little confused on.
I know there are NS Shards that take away HAM cost (I have some that are -5). The only thing is if I use those I can't use the Voritor Scales, which will provide a kinetic resistance (I don't plan on having this armor take a lot of beatings, but AR1 for kinetic may save me in a jam).
To the gentlemen with the 70% resist bone armor, is that just to energy?

Yes only energy,, well base is elecitric, probly around 20 im guess.
enhancers is only 1,, soo voritor, Krayt, or Night sister shards.
but you have an option. But you need a Geo-Bone Schematic.
You use one energy layer, One night sister layer (to reduce ham) Or one RIS Peko Peko layer, Does the same thing.. And toss in a krayt scale
This will give you about 65-70% energy, 20 elecitric, and say 4% in kin, acid, heat, cold.. or what ever the krayt layer was rated at.
Before slice it should be around 175-200 and if youi get all encum sliced, rpobly need to make some extra parts probly be right around 100 ham,, sweet suit for 100 ham if you ask me. The only thing is you will be Stun vuln, but use a imp Psg for that.
