I did all this as well. the only way this worked for me was by receiving a cloak as a reward for moving up one level in the faction. i had boots, arms, chest, bought a cloak, shader, emblem...didn't work. Worked only when dead orbit awarded me a cloak. it was slightly different than the one you can buy.

i never needed the whole armour to do it, i only needed the cloak, bond or mark
