I am thoroughly angered by some of the changes made to us and what we have been turned into. For ever since I had yuanja on radiant he has never needed to use advanced blaster rifle barrels and now that the CU has come around he has been forced into n00bness because of this the same goes for advanced blade vibro units. Also I don't know if it is true but if it is I am more so angered by the overall weaponsmith weapon cap. I thought it to be mearly a rumor but after crafting an SR combat pistol today with high grade components including krayt tissues, high capacity blaster pistol barrel and all good components next to my neutronium steel it ranked only at 528 which a person said they had a 700 max dmg one. With the CU instigated I feel WS are out of buisness because only pre nerf weaponry will rule supreme in this dead land. Unless we can make it so that regular components like regular blaster rifle barrels/pistol barrels can be used in components that require them many WS will be n00bed while others will flourish.
I am very angry about the weird conversion of all weapons, conponents. I am also angry that things like krayt tissue did not convert.
The part of the barrels and such, I feel is necessary. This way, new WSs can compete in the market by building players weapons that use basic components, while more veteran WSs have the resources to build advanced weaponry.

That's true. I've been a WS on Kauri for almost 6 months now, and I still cant make adv rifle barels. I've had to buy them from other smiths, and use normal ones so I could make weapons (Which actually worked great in Flamethrowers for -0.1 extraspeed). Now, I'm essentially screwed out of the ranged weapons race because I cant make what I need to make.
I'm still pissed about half my comps not converting :/
Basically other than a few problems in the conversions I have nothing to complain about. I think Weaponsmith is alot better now.
the cap on crafted weapons needs to go, having 8 exp points left is not acceptable.
As making components, unless your server has never had a spawn of these I don't see your point. First thing i ever did as a smith was collect every resource to make any schem i had. Its part of the profesion whether you use it or not, you never know who will want a set of dxr mines. How bout the fact that I have 10mil worth of thermal, imperial, and proton grenades that can now be used to create a "wharehouse" effect and nothing else? c-12 doesn't even do the same damage as a cdef? cmon we need to pick our battles here. The cap needs to be raised on crafted weapons to save the profesion, also slicing is next to useless now, im sure the smugglers will take of that though.
I'm gonna have to go with Izz on this one. I've been a WS for almost a year now. Spent millions of credits and hour on hour of surveying and searching vendors to build up my stock of resources. I never stop looking for a better resource. 5 more points will get me higher damage or a bit faster weapon. For those of you out there that can't craft some Advanced Components.....go hunting vendors. Not on your server, be paitent. I waited 3 months for a spawn of Ryll Amorphous Gemstone (know your resources too). It was almost 5 months to find Green Diamond Crystalline Gemstone, and longer for Bryothsis...see where this is going?
If you want to make the weapons that now require advanced components, you'll stick with it. If not, specialize in low level ranged or melee weapons. There is nothing wrong with the CU crafting. It's just different.

Im quite pleased with the way the CU has gone, SWG needed a change (maybe not so drastic though). The only thing that concerns me is the Cap, as this gives nothing to work to which i feel is what crafting is all about-making this better with each new resources available. saying this after the first few weapons ive crafted, mainly ones above combat lvl 40, the only cap ive hit is Wound.but with all the extra Exp. lines available, in components aswell as the finished item, it will give a much wider range of weaponary instead of all the leading WS making exact same weapons to within 1-2 points of damage.
Some weapon convertions are strange i guess-my alts 565 (ADK'd) tenloss turned into 840ish but a lesser 500ish one was around 20 better this is slightly annoying, and a pre Cu geo-Power Hammer was 510max now at 931, where as standard crafted ones Post Cu are 1000+.
Overall i think the CU is good but will just take alot of time to adjust to.
