Thats all well and good that you can tell it actually changed but I doubt it's better to be naked then to have armor on in general, maybe if you're a gun user with almost no str. But yeah i bet you're right it does change and it helps I just wish people had any clue as to how much it helps.

some times its better.. the less weight u have to carry the more u can move and dodge more attacks u cant loose if u dont get hit..

Judging from the message when you hover over Crit Res, the lower the better.
I would have agreed with you, except Zen made it to where you can't be over encumbered due to an XP / power level exploit possible. Over encumberance is 1.1 
That message was made before Encumber code didn't work. Anything under one is the same
can we get admins advice on this??

Do you have this in one of Zenith's posts?
Thanks for the link Snork, good work!
(yep I was correct again)

You're welcome. Although that thread still doesn't address the line everyone really wants to know about from the Combat Evasion Skill: "Dodging attacks with evasion requires a low encumbrance rate to take full use of your training."
That's the one thing I've never seen anyone weigh in on conclusively. I've read a couple threads where people went back and forth on the subject.
The best I can get is that the post I linked to was in March of last year. From what I understand, defensive skills came out after March, so that post may be outdated. At some point I'll try a test with myself highly encumbered (0.95 or so), moderately encumbered (0.50) and lightly encumbered (as low as I can get it, dunno what that will be), today is probably not that day
Play with your inventory.
From my tinkering I see absolutely no relevance to attacking/defending from your encumbrance.
Unless it has a future intention, it just looks like a pretty pointless number on a page.
