I haven't fully tested the difference between good armor and innate armor, however, I can tell you that for the last 2 days I've been fighting naked, no clothes or armor. Without Center of Being, I take around 180 per hit for creatures 2 lvls higher than me while grouped. When I have CoB active, that drops down to 68. So as long as you keep CoB active, you're fine. This doesn't answer whether innate is better, but IMO, it's good enough!
Eek, my eyes, I've been blinded!
Not that I didn't wind up doing something similar accidentally...I was in my Imperial uniform, hunting Rebels, fully dressed before I hopped off my swoop. And was suddenly wearing gloves, undershirt, and nothing else, totally naked below the waist.
Innate armor definitely works when you're totally out of uniform and supposed to be on duty! Still think I didn't kill those Rebs, I mooned 'em to death...

I had a question about innate armor as well.
Does it stay "on" when you're using another weapon? Say I'm using a pike, will innate armor continue to work while I"m using the pike?
Thanks.

Yeah, that's my understanding as well. Innate will work with any melee weapon.
But does innate armor work while using a psg?
With innate armor, does that mean you can't wear ANY armor pieces at all? No helmet, gloves or boots? What am I going to put my armor attachments in now, aside from my bandolier?

innate armor works with PSG and with all weapon, it simply doesn't work with armor
high end crafted armor > innate armor
a good crafted can reach 7500 unsliced on special protection while TKM innate armor is 6000 and MDefence jedi armor is 7000

Quick question (it was asked once already),
Does Innate Armor still work if you are wearing armor boots, for example, which provide no protection anyway? If not, I suppose that TKMs get nerfed on any AA's that were looted.

As far as I know you cant wear any armor and if my server ever comes up I'll test it.

I haven't tried the boots, but I know you can still wear the padded armor belt and still get the no-armor benifit. At least the CU didn't take my belt away from me... '-p

Maybe im bugged or something because i went to do some PvE on my melee alt today and was being shot for 250 damage by a lvl82 rebel npc while running both CoB and Parry stance 
. Now TKM armour is only 1000 lower than jedi and CoB = Force Aura, so the damage i took should not be that far behind my knight, but its way higher. Ive found this also when dueling Vs jedi friends of mine. My TKM (who has only 30 less melee defence than my knight) gets hit for an insane amount more than my jedi.

Try this. Fight naked with just CoB. Lvl 80-82 creatures shouldn't hit you for over 70 hitpoints (I get hit between 55 and 68). Then start to put your clothing on one at a time until you start getting hit harder. But basically, it's anything that is considered as armor, excluding PSGs, although I haven't used a PSG, so cannot confirm that.

My main on Lowca (Master Smuggler/Master MBH/Pistoleer 4000) takes about 450 damage from equal or higher level mobs while wearing good recon armor. Against a swordmsan I was hit for almost 1000 damage multiple times. While fighting the same swordsman I was doing less damage against him than I do against Jedi. I was able to root and pummel on a dark jedi in the starport of cnet for about 3 minutes. When a swordsman got in range I had about 10 seconds to root him and get away before I was annihilated.
From a ranged perspective, TKM innate armor is drool worthy.
