I have some questions about the armor.
I finally managed to get my first complete spectra armor set (helmet, body armor and legging)
now I have these "upgrades" I found
commando goes on the armor and the pants - so does striker.
medic seems to work only on helmet and on armor. the funny thing is striker armor downgrades the defense a little and the commando upgrade does not allow ceramic plates.

now my questions ( finally ) =P
1, does it make sense to upgrade my spectra at all?
after all each upgrade seems to have a penalty ( no ceramic, heavier, less defense etc...)
2, is there better armor than spectra?
if yes, can that be upgraded, too?

I saw a combinations list somewhere, but it didnt really tell me which combination made most sense and offered the most protection

oh...and in a creature lair in callisto ( did I type it right?) I found an elixir ( and no creature *sniff* ). anyone know what it is used for?

thx in advance,
Chris

Hey swede,

upgrade your spectra! Both Striker & the Commando upgrades are definitely better. Read Ltd_Han's Armour list (http://home.t-online.de/home/hansalexander/UC_armor_list_v1.2.htm). The armour protection is better although weight is heavier. Still the damage protection is worth it.

You only need one striker upgrade to upgrade the spectre leggings and vests to the striker versions. The commando leggings need one upgarde too, but there's a series of upgrades for the commando vests. Read Ltd_Han's Item Combination lists (
http://home.t-online.de/home/hansalexander/UC_item_combinations_list_v1.0.htm)


It will make sense if you presue both lists together. Each armour has both plus points & bad points. Ultimately which armour u choose also depends on you.

regards

blade

You can add ceramic to both Striker AND Commando armour BUT you cannot add ceramic to a MEDIC vest. However, if the vest already has a ceramic plate, you can convert the vest to a medic vest and keep the plate!

The medic vest has a useful bug in that it's weight is 0.0kg.
