All someone has to say is yes or no.

There is nothing that will use the rest of the 40% up on your armor. However, if you look at this information on armor slices, you can figure out what you can go for next:

Armour

Resilience:
Level 1 | Drops after 40% | +25% Customisation | No Components
Level 2 | Drops after 30% | +25% Customisation | Simple Toolkit
Level 3 | Drops after 20% | +25% Customisation | Shock Absorbant Padding

Impact Deflection:
Level 1 | 20% Armour mitigates damage | +25% Customisation | No Components
Level 2 | 40% Armour mitigates damage | +25% Customisation | Finely Crafted Toolkit
Level 3 | 60% Armour mitigates damage | +25% Customisation | Powered Motivators

Hardening:
Level 1 | 1% Absorbtion | +15% Customisation | None
Level 2 | 2% Absorbtion | +35% Customisation | Trandoshan Intraframe
Level 3 | 3% Absorbtion | +50% Customisation | Mandalorian Intraframe

Armour Break Reduction:
Level 1 | 25% Armor Break Reduction | +20% Customisation| No Components
Level 2 | 50% Armor Break Reduction | +20% Customisation| Shock Absorbant Padding
Level 3 | 75% Armor Break Reduction | +20% Customisation | Reactive Micro Plating

So, looks like you could go for a level one in any of the other areas. The rest of the customisation % will be useless though.

Hope this helps

So a Level1 Hardening, a 1% chance of blocking half the damage/absorption for +15% customization. Probably the most bang for my buck right here. Thanx...

You can put the 1% hardening+ the 20%deflectionor 1% hardending + 10%resilience, but I recommend the deflection because it makes the armor last longer. If you ADK the armor, both the deflection and resilience are worthless, but at least it will make that custom % nice and pretty at 100%.

I thought the NGE couldn't be any worse than the CU, but I was wrong.

Not to mention that it seems like AB is broken as well at the moment.

Yeah... in a way I'm almost glad that it's broken. I was getting so sick of all the /tells for armor slicing. I don't mind weapons slices, but armor slicing is a HUGE PITA... not to mention it's expensive as heck to stock those paddings.


I have 3 suits of armor that I made today, but I haven't put them on my vendor yet becuase I didn't feel like doing the pre-slicing for 20% deflection 1% hardening 25% AB.


A couple of weeks ago I was standing at the MO on dantooine talking to Gassygunslinger, and I started getting all kinds of tells for slices. Took me about 45 minutes to finish them all up... and that was only two people. First guy had a suit of RIS and two weapons, second guy had 3 weapons.Neither one of them knew what they wanted done with their weapons, so I bounced back and fort between them as they made up their minds on specific weapons.


I used to mail out a mini-FAQ, but anymore I just give them a link to the slice calc and tell them to shoot me a tell when they are ready.

Which part? I'm guessing you mean the slice calc? Oh yeah, it works. It's also good because they can't complain that you didn't do what they wanted.

But do they actually bother to use the calculatorinstead of pestering you with further tells?
