I'm slowly but surely working my way up AS(with my alt)and trying to do it in a way that is'nt quite grinding so that i get a better understanding of how things work, i have checked most of the stickies and guides and the info in them is very well laid out and fairly easy to understand so props to all who conbtributed.
but thereare a few things i cant seem to get answers to.
mainly, with the addition of new armors(wook and ithorian) are there any segments that can be used in these types of armor?
I know voritor segments(at least i think its voritor, i'll have to re-read) can be used in the construction of wook armor but are there any other segments etc that can be used to improve wook or ithorian armor?
also i have NS armor shards and NS armor segments is there any differance and what type of armor can these be used in?
is it worth keeping all of the brackaset armor segments i have collected to make a couple of "enhanced" armors for selling or should i just stick to making comp and ubese?
any help is greatly appreciated.
many thanks

Appendix C - Looted items and their effects
1. Difference between looted segment enhancers and segments
Segment enhancers are items that you can put into a segment that will give it a bonus of some sort. Examples of these include Krayt scales. Currently, many of the segment enhancers are bugged.
Segments are items that can be placed directly into a suit of armor. They tend to have different bonuses that the normal segments you can make for your suits. For example, a Voritor Lizard Hide Segment can be placed into a suit of bone armor and will grant the bone armor both an energy special resist and a kinetic special resist (normal bone armor is vulnerable to kinetic). Segments are tied directly to a particular type of armor and can only be used when crafting that armor.
How will looted segments affect the armor I make? Lets take these variables using a segment of Krayt armor.
Y = Your composite segment base effectiveness %
K = Krayt segment base
effectiveness %
R = Your Composite Armor resist % using your composite segments
X = Your Krayt Composite Armor resist %
and apply them to this formula...
X = R + (K - Y)
For example, a while back before my server had colat iron, my composite segments were 9%. the resist % on my composite was 42%. Using a 10% krayt segment, i got 43% composite (sometimes 44). So basically add the difference between your segment and the krayt segment to your usual resist %, and you will find your answer. If you are using advanced segments normally, its most likely going to be more than 10%, which makes those *somewhat* useless. Of course, lower HAM values may make Krayt segments more valuable.
2. Current list of dropped segments/segment enhancers
These are all the known lootable items that can be used when crafting armor. Enhancements are placed in the 'enhancement' slot when making segments, while segments are used in place of crafted segments when doing the final assembly of the armor. Note that enhancements are generally not armor-specific while segments are. Also, don't forget that when crafting armor with lootable components you need to make sure you use items with the same serial number- this is especially important when using enhancements, as it means that you need to do a factory run of segments using your enhancements to make any item other than a pair of gloves. This list describes just the basic items. Exceptional and Legendary drops may have higher resists or lower HAM costs.

NS Shards, Janta Hide, Rancor Hide, Krayt Scale are all bonus items which can be added in the optional slot of the segment schematic, if the schematic has an optional slot there it can take any of these listed.
PreMade looted segments will be labelled with what armours they can be used for, these are substitutes for the actual segments you would normally enhance. I don't rate looted segments as they are usually rubbish. But here's a quick run down to the ones I know of.
Rancor Segment - Padded Armour
Krayt Segment - Composite Armour
Kimogilia Segment - Chitin Armour (I think)
