OK...Probot armor.

I've tried the old 2 x lev 4s all the way along a got the capped 40% Med armour.....fine!

BUT!!..just recently that dont seem the case anymore.Made 1 a couple days ago the same way and got 15% Medium.Ahhh..i thought..must have dropped a bit on the integrity.

So off I go and knock up another AdvProby with 2 x lev 4s at about 700 each....bang! 15% Medium.Off to experiment now,did a lev 6 (920 int)+a lev 4(680)...15% Med.2 x lev 3s=40% light...etc.etc

So anyone help...a nice formula with armor levs+integrity needed would be MUCH appreciated!!

If dual level 4's of good quality no longer give you 40%, then something got stealth nerfed.


Can anyone confirm this?


If this is the case, then there is no point for multiple armor slots in droids.


Now that the cluster issue is resolved, and the system is working as intended, I hope to God that they didn't nerf stacking modules. A mid level DE should be able to make a 110 surgical by stacking med mods. A higher level DE should be able to make a 110 surgical with a food/chem station, etc.


The ability to stack the lower level modules (within reason) is the only thing that lets lower level DE's make sales.....

I've been making med110 droids with the 'ole lvl4+lvl3 action. So mod stacking is working...but this is the second I've heard of armor issues.

Just tried it with 2 "plain-jane" level 4s (-6 eff) and got a probot with medium 15%. Looks like we got nerfed again. I'll try it with some experimentation and see what happens.

Yeah I made my first Probot before patch with 2 lvl 4 armor and got medium 40% all the way down.. Yesterday I did the same thing with all my factory made pre-patch armor pieces.. but my probot now has medium 15% all down the way... OH OH what did I do wrong.. So I made some fresh armor plating for an experimental model.. Hmmm ok same problem 15% all the way down... wierd?? I did 2 lvl 3 armor pieces this morning got Light armor with 40% on five parts and nothing on the rest.. Errr crap does this mean I gotta start finding someone to make the armor pieces to make 2 lvl 6's now to get back to the old standard.. Too bad I didn't make the 100 Adv probot chasis into droid deeds before the patch came out ...


And just when you thought you couldn't be the most overlooked proffession in this galaxy they steath nerf ya. LOL


Ah well I was having too much fun killing huurton's with my 40% ADV probot and my little scout blaster.. I guess someone must have noticed that.... Sorry Guys my bad..

You only need one level 6... unless they nerfed that, too....

Threw a little experimentation on it, got the modules up to a 2 rating. Same result, medium 15%. has anyone made anything higher since the patch? Is this either the new cap, or did stacking stop working for armor?

I gotta find me an armorsmith then I guess.. well aint that annoying... Well what does just one level 4 armor do then?? less than 15% all the way down??... or same if it's same then it's gotta have something to do with the armor stacking being messed up... errr ok let me check this out then...

Ok tested one lvl 4 armor does the same as 2 lvl 4's the stacking is now officially either bugged or the second armor slot has now been made useless..??



I got medium armor rating 15% all the way down with both one level 4 armor and with 2 level 4's..


Well this just sucks was hoping to make me a small army ... that can't even repair itself yet

OK, I I made an advanced DZ-70 (didn't feel like running to my factories to make a single advanced probot.... ) and wanted to get the initial results posted.


I dropped a single L6 armor mod (factory made at the end of January) into the advanced DZ-70.


When I tamed it (and was finally able to get a lock on the thing.... it was sitting in my head), it had 40% med all the way down the board.


All the sub components for the droid were factory made, as was the armor, as was the armorsmith component in the droid.


So, it looks like the L6 armor is still good - at least, the old stuff.


I'll do a run of new armor today, and see if the stats come out different with a new factory made L6 armor seg, and get back to you.






Concerning Armor Smiths - the best thing to do is find a good, reliable one and establish a good relationship with him. A free crafting droid to open negoations goes a long way....

So, dual L4's, dual L3's and L4+L3 are all now bugged or nerfed?






So
