I believe they do work... however, with a little experimentation, CM's could probably negate any resists with increase potency.

Yes they do work:
I bought Three Tapes looted from the corvette (6mill each roughly) that are +17 Poison Resistance, Gives me +51 Poison resistance
Also i have a +10 disease resist aakuan belt, and i think around +15 in disease resist armor attachments in my armor, alot of +3's etc, put them in my gloves bracers biceps and boots
Anyway i am a master doctor/combat medic myself making these sort of useless for me since i can heal all my own poisons and diseases if i get attack, but i like to have them in case i get "ticked" once, and i defintly find i do resist poison hits often, If i am in a group of 5 people lets say and a poison is thrown at me into the group, all 4 people will get infected, i will get infected, i dont know i would say roughly half the time, but its hard to determine, sometimes ill get hit with 4 poisons in a row, sometimes ill resist 6 in a row, sometimes 8 in a row will stick. But in general its close to i would say 1 out of 3 poisons sticking to me with those attachments.
They do work. and if anyone on ahazi wants to sell any i am buying for top dollar all poison and disease resist attachments (no belts or robes from aakuan caves please) Prefereably Armor attachments, but i will take clothing attachments, i have one spot left in my +25 wound/injury shirt ive been saving for one last attachment, i have some uber rifle tapes in there to make up for the fact i am only a Marksmen 4004 and lack rifle skills (i use a krayt jawa ion rifle 5.2 speed 469 max damage w/powerup for max damage-mind use lowering)
Just to remember though Having a +10 disease resist belt does close to nothing as thats what i had for a long time and i dont think i ever once resisted a disease once. really useless. same thing with the bleeding resistance shirts, although its near impossible to test those accurately. i wore one for a long time and im finally like "why the hell arent i wearing a +25/wound/injury shirt under my armor" so i made one with 4 attachments (after 3 tries lol) and wear it all the time for field fights and healing, works good

Wow! These might be some of the tactics the devs were talking about. Myself? I forgot all about these tapes. Now I really have no sympathy for the nerf criers. Good job on building an armor suit like that. Dang now I might have to try it. LOL

it took alot of trips to the corvette, i really only focused on killing troopers and avoided droids and areas with a bunch of enemies, i found single or a group of troopers has an equal chance of dropping anything like that. i went asa master swordsman and just used spinattack on no more than a group of 2-3 at a time (had weak medical skills at the time)

I have heard this myself too, That tapes of bonuses only give you UP TO a +25 Bonus, but no one has ever confirmed this to my knowledge even the devs.
They state of course that Yes if you have +100, then +25 is the hard cap on bonuses. But to my knowledge poison resistance is not a given skill by any profession, and i am listed as having +51 poison resistance. (of course thats a know bug since i can wear wound/injury clothes and have a +125 bonus that does nothing but is listed nonetheless)
if anyone has tested this with anything please let me know. At one point i was trying to collect enough "medicine use" tapes so i could use stim c's as a novice medic, it neverhappened to test though

sorry the cap on any skill attachments is 25, it wont have an effect past that, and since many combat medics craft poisons with 130% potency, go figure.

From what I've seen poison or disease resists reduce the potency on our meds.
Another cm and I did a few tests. The other cms potency was 130 and mine were 140. The test subject was wearing +25 poison and disease resist armor.
130 potency - 25% = 97.5
was resisted 7 out of 10 throws
140 potency - 25% = 105
was resisted 2 out of 10 throws
Just for fun I made a 220 potency poison, it was never resisted.

dunno if this wasnt mentioned but the cap for any extra +attachments is 25 bud....youre wasting your money
