Is it possible with the right minerals and crafting luck, to craft an 80% or 85% adv. composite armor unsliced?

Theoretically, the maximum base resist on unsliced, non-enhanced, composite armor is 80%. This would require resources with OQ and SR 1000. Since, some resources are gated (e.g., beyrllius copper SR < 500, colat iron SR < 800, kiirium steel SR < 700, polysteel copper SR < 800), the maximum base resist is probably 76%.

(as calculated with Virtual Armorsmith 1.2; http://web.tampabay.rr.com/hluinge/va12.zip)

not true.

using very good nightsister layers can achieve greater than 80%.

i've personally used three 8% NS layers and a janta hide (3%) and hit 80%. with 9% or great NS layers (or for that matter, 4% janta hide with the 8%'s), it's entirely possible to hit 90% base. albeit a great sacrifice in materials.

No it's not. Armor is capped at 80% for crafted. Even 100%+ Krayt segments would yield 80% composite pre-slice.

There was the 110% base loot padded armor segs found recently, the base on them capped at 80%. Its not possible to craft greater than 80% anymore.

At the beginning of the game this would have been possible. Currently, the cap is at 80%, 90% with effectiveness slice.

ya, way back when there were a few pieces of 100% armor made. for sure i remember a pair of gloves. The devs found this not cool, and capped pre-sliced at 80%. sliced caps at 90%. You can hit 80% without a slice, you just need enhancers or krayt segments.
