We finally had a good spawn of the alum, and i decided to mess around with it a bit to see what i could make. So far i havent found any combinations that would make some desirable armor. I was wondering if you all have had the same results with this?

anyone?

I tend to mess around with different reinforcement upgrade level and end up with better results than using the mass reduction component. I didn't like the results I got with the mass reduction before and have not used them since.

It may depend on resources but I find the armour upgrades more effective too.

yep agree with all here, they suck, go down a level and use the reinforcement

this is pretty sad. my findings have been the same. I did make some 400 armor 1.7k mass armor for my kihraxz for the hell of it. Once i did that I was able to squeeze my mk2 image rec launcher on it.

I don't think its out there. I find that using the same level armor and reinforcement panels, by altering the experimentation from mass to armor points, you end up with the best mass-armor combinations in the mass ranges you need.

I have tried this wilh the some of the best resources on Scylla (900's on almost every needed stat) and found it true everytime, and by a wide margin (over the mass reduction numbers)

It drives me to think that no spread sheet was made with crafting ranges and loot ranges, if a graph had been made this type of thing would have been caught and fixed pre-beta. Would be easy to look at Armor for example. Drop in the 100%and 60%resource numbers. Then look at each armor base and with both subs and see that it does not fly (or mass-reductions are simply not needed).
