Best armor BS

[Seljdon]

Not sure what all these guys are smoking however theyre all wrong. I found armor out and about that more than double the starborn aor even mantis armor stats

Why do people rush this and get things like this so wrong all the time.

Ppl don't get it wrong, some ppl just like how the Starborn suit looks. Also because it's a one piece armor, it is much lighter than other armor sets. With the Vanguard set you have like +60 more DR, ER and EM protection. But i hardy think that makes much of a difference. I still use the Venata suit that has 246 DR, ER and EM protection and i am level 130 already. I am pretty sure some enemies would one-hit me on very hard in the Vanguard or other armor sets too. So it doesn't really make much of a difference what set you use.

The most useful and easy to get is MK1, Vanguard, Mantis and if you NG+ed a lot already then Venator.

Starborn Armor scales with each NG.

It stops getting better after NG+10. You can't have more than 246 DR, ER and EM resistance on the Starborn Armor.

Wrong. With Isolationist its way higher. Mines is only NG3 and at 255 DR.

No we are talking about ARMORS not perks/skills here, so I am CORRECT.

No you said you cannot get higher. You did not qualify the statement till corrected. You were wrong as stated. You can have more than 246 DR with Starborn Armor, as proven.

But any other armor would still have better values, it doesn't change a thing about the fact that the Starborn suits are weak compared to other armors. He is comparing armors in it's DEFAULT state WITHOUT perks/skills.

No its does not. Which is entirely the point. Do you have isolationist perked to max? Have you looked at the armor stats for NG10 Spaceborn with it?

Its better than 90% of the armor in the game with only a few exceptions that are vastly heavier and have no perks.

If the weaker Starborn armor gets better with the perk, the BETTER armors get even better...

None have the same flat level of stats. You lose out stats across the board. Only the Merc, tracker and explorer sets are better for DR.

The UC Antixeno Spacesuit is in the running for the best overall set you can get in the game. Why? because 7 of the 9 perks the full set has synergize with each other that well. A technically weaker armor set in base stats with the right rare/epic/legendary perks is often better.

[Mexicola9302]

I am in my permanent universe already and my Venator has anti ballistic so -15% dmg by ballistic dmg ranged weapons, auto healing with medipack at 25% HP and +40 carryweight. I am okay with that suit. But looks wise, i like the regular marine suit the most, the one you get from the parents. But i need to find a complete legendary set of it. It will probably take thousands of hours before i have a set like that lol. :D

You both are correct. But I think Mexcola9302's piss range is longer.

Wrong. With Isolationist its way higher. Mines is only NG3 and at 255 DR.

...but it gives you only half the buff., wihich is applied:"per space suiit and space helmet". Starborn is one-piece, so only gives you the buff once.

It counts as two pieces, even though its only one. You are still wearing a helmet. The perks description is misleading as its simply means you dont get a backpack bonus for it.
