What's the highest armor rating you can get from modding and stacking armor? Lay it out for me. My guess is...
SWAT Armor, 12/10 with 18 rating slots open. Gel packs, Fire resistance 6, Electric resistance 6, YNT Softweave, whatever else.
PPP full set for +2/+6, 9 mod slots, throw in ice resistance 3 and acid resistance 6.
FFBA Full for +6/+2, 9 mod slots, throw in...whatever. Thermal 6, maybe?
Swat helmet at +2/+2.
This brings you up to 22/27 Armor and 19/26 Encumbrance, so you would need 13 Body minus your strength to wear it without penalty. Any better combo?
