OK, here's the story...
I'm a Master Artisan/Master DE with 0-0-1-1 Architect (so I can make factories and power core units for myself.) I noticed the other day that I had the schematics for crafting stations, so I figured I'd give it a try.
Long story short...using medium-to-good resources and experimented subcomponents, I was able to make myself a 28.54 W/D/G crafting station - while standing in front of another W/D/G station, using a W/D/G tool, and apparently using my 11 Artisan experimentation points. Eh??!?!
This actually concerns me on several levels.I was always under the impression that good/high quality crafting stations were strictly a product that higher level or Master Architects had the market cornered on, as I believe(d?) they should.
Why was I able to do this without a Structure tool or station, and subsequently experiment on it?
Why was I able to use 11 ARTISAN experimentation points on it?
Why was I, a simple Master Artisan with just a smudge of Architect, able to even think about making a crafting station that's, overall, 63%effective based onthe max of 45?
While I'm happy to have a decent crafting station to work with, I'm almost appalled that I was able to do any of this. It just doesn't seem right at all.
If this has been addressed at all before, pardon the rehash, but I don't read this particular forum very much. Anyone have any insight on this?

Good to know they never changed it, not sure if it's intended to be that way but yeah, it feeds off artisan experimentation and assembly skill not architect. Without droid storage units I built a 29.8% weapon, droid and general crafting station way back when i was a master weaponsmith, used it ever since and dropped architect after building it, heh.

Yes crafting stations use artisan points. If you used 900 OQ level materials then you'd be able to make a +40 rate station. This might be an intentional thing so that novice architects can have something useful to make. Dunno, could just be yet another bug.
There seems to be a bug right now that you can make just about everything with the WDG tools.
