Remember Artisan is a base set of skills that you are supposed to build something onto. Moving C12's and base weapons into Artisan would weaken WS considerably. But how about this for a comprimise. Artisan gets D18 pistol, DLT20 rifle, DH17 carbine. The downside of this is that you move down a lot of components. Its like saying engineering 4 should get MSE droids. In order to accomplish this Engineering 4 would gain you like 30 components. So this isnt really that viable since someone coming into game spending 29 points and not that much grinding all of a sudden can make quite a little profit from just engineering 4.

This is probably a bit much. Increasing the damage of crafted CDEFs would get much the same result as moving the Nov.Mark weapons down. I got them up to 62 max (not counting powerup or slicing), and might get a few points more with top notch materials, but they are still well short of typical values for the Novice Marksman weapons. CDEFs are simple weapons, just some metal and chemical... I would be happy to leave the higher weapons to the Weaponsmiths if the CDEFs could maybe be crafted with a single optional component to increase their power. A standard powerup might be built into the gun to permanently increase its base stats, and the completed gun would still use powerups to temporarily boost up.
