Being that I'm mainly going for Pistoleer/Smuggler, I figured I'd ask the question here. I have some high end Composite, good stuff with 8% Stun resistance not to mention 70% base and 80% Kinetic. Of course the HAMs are through the roof, but I still need to get them sliced. Ialso have a second set with slightly lower Stats, and lower HAM (got it for escorting an armorsmith while surveying on Lok).Anways, getting on with it, I need suggestions on migrating stats. I'd like to have so I can wear the armor without Buffs, that way I'm not naked when they run out. I've seen many differant types of migrating, from low health/action/mind and high secondaries, to more balanced types. I tend to steer clear of PVP, but I do do Theme Parks and Questsagainst NPC's with weapons if that means anything.
So what would you suggest for a Human Pistoleer? I'd really appreciate actual numbers. I've been playing around with some but I can't seem to get it right. Considering it takes ten minutes of an ID's time I wouldn't like to keep doing it. I tend to try and pay 10k each time I migrate,and right nowI'm low on cash after buying the armor. Hopefully the armor will help me make some money doing group missions on Dath.
Thanks in advance.

You'll have to post the fina encum of your armour to get the most out of the community but I recommend the following.
With everything at 400 you have 1800 points to spend as a human. Most sliced composite should be wearable with secondaries of 550 or even 500. I recommend going for 550-600 on your secondaries so you can get some regen while wearing armour. With 550 secondaries you can have 700 primaries which will allow you to take a few hits in that armour before you go down. If 550 ain't enough, you could go for 600 all stats, but you run the risk of being oneshotted if unbuffed.
Always food for emergency in case your buff runs out and of course pixie and muon because you're bound to fill up faster than you empty and no fight lasts to the downer anyway, spice is meant asa last resort to get you away from the enemy alive or finish it off before you die, it's not a buff.

I migrated everything to mind stats myself. The lack of stats in the other two areas are easily made up for by buffs, foods, and spice.

Yeah I noticed alot of people do the migrate to mind, but I have plenty of ale and Booster Blue (which I'll be able to produce myself at one point), so I'm not too worried about that.
Sorry I forgot to post the total HAM costs. I'm not sure about the Big Boy; the lower protection one (62% Base, 80% Kinetic, Vulnerable to stun) is 1552 total HAM unsliced. Slicing it, of course, will make it even more useful, but I'm waiting on that, I'll probably want to do that myself. I also want to see if the two armorsmiths I bought them from will allow me to trade inincreased protectionpieces so I can attempt another HAM slice one them.
Assuming the smaller one is 1552 total, it's my guess that the bug one is 2500-3000 and will require slicing to be wearable.

That isn't what they are talking about (and just a note, brandy is best mind drink). They are talking about when they get doctor buffs, the mind is less than the other stats by a lot, so getting it around 1000 normally can bring the mind to 2800 with dancer buffs and 2 swigs of brandy.
