As a challenge I want to have a run a making some USEFUL padded armor. Was hoping I could get some input on a crafting formula that people have used. What type of layers, stats on layers, how you expirement then and the final craft.
Any info would be great. I'm tired of looking at composite armor.

two kinetic layers with max special and the rest of the points into the base. IE 14% kinetic 3% base if you have 12 points to play with
you can do this with energy too if you want a ranged attack suit (corvette??)
had one guy request a 70 % kinetic 70% energy suit once too. this can be done using voritor/krayt scales (unenhanced will be ~65-67% special)
I prefer krayt scales myself, they plug the acid and heat vulns

A lot of us don't touch padded. I just now got all the best supplies to make padded, so going to attempt it this weekend.

The padded I made using good (but not the best) hide and resources was 78% kinetic or energy and 49% base. If you use a high base stun layer (4%/4%) and a solid kinetic layer.... maybe 14%/3%... with a 9% average Krayt Scale... you are looking at about 77% kinetic, 4% stun, 59% "base" with no holes. The acid, blast, stun and heat would all be fairly low but not vulnerable.... almost reminds me of Wookiee Cerimonal Armour. Does that stuff take layers at all?
It would be expensive, not as effective as composite but pretty cool. I think I might try this!

Exactly what I just did. Except my initial results have been less than satisfactory.

I made a suit this weekend that is a good all around no buffs suit..
its 16 blast, 9 acid, 8 stun, 35 base, vuln heat+LS
ham is 340-440-360 no helm
I think im going with a stun ubese with a krayt tissue for no vuln.. Whole suit im hoping after slicing is abroud 250-300-275 be a damn nice one if the slicing gods are with me
Would be a great suit for up to uper mid lvl mobs, and no buffs : )
