So I was looking through equipment options now that the Armory is SFS legal and my main just hit level 5 (I know, I'm slow) and I noticed that in the Starfinder Armory, the Absorptive Shell is *listed* as a level 5 item, but the *entry* says level 6. I'm not sure if this has been asked already or not, but which is the actual item level?
(I'm referencing the physical copy if it matters)

Ok, checked the Additional Resources, the correction was for the Brawler Frame, which is 6 in the entry, 9 on the table. AR says use the 9 in the table.
I would guess that the Absorptive Shell is also 5, as in the table, because that preserves the consistent allocation of items to consecutive item levels. If 6 is correct, there would be two level 6 armors and no level 5 armor.

I'm pretty good at seeing the balancing schemes of armor and weapon charts and at it's Ac and dex max, and considering it's lack of a weapon mount and single upgrade slot, yea it's 5th level ...also (and probably more importantly) priced as a 5 level item (cheaper than the other 5 level powered armor)

All very good points. Agreed, I believe it is a lvl 5 and the lvl 6 is just a misprint.
