I asked, apparently not in its current form, and because the way {Primordial Chassis} works means leaves {Melded Carapace} as a suboptimal thing to crowbar in with it (Since at it's baseline form, the way it works is that "Your entire body counts as being as well protected as your best protected part... Except {Primordial Chassis} already works that way")
It's an AT-Field, not actual armor. And Pithe is very bad at pushing outside its comfort zone even if you disregard how Divinity is made of weirdness and OCP shit that are hard to crowbar into the baseline Pithe manifestations. Which isn't to say that it's bad, it's just a victim of the whole "The ride never fucking stops" thing--it'll be great once we can get even some basic newbie gear."
That as been my impression. And besides, tying everyting to the {Primordial Chassis} sounds like putting all our eggs in one basket. I think it's time to be thinking about layered defenses, so that if we meet something that turns out very good at piercing one kind of defense, we have another layer that might be able to resist it. And {Melded Carapace} sounds perfect for making a second layer uniformly strong. We just need some armor. Besides, we still have several subskill slots under {Melded Carapace}; maybe we can get it to provide defenses against Flow or other esoteric attack types that {Primordial Chassis} is poor against.
Also, we've already seen at least one Ethos that specifically pierces exactly one layer of defense. Right now we only have one layer, and thus would be vulnerable to such an attack.
