It hasn't been updated with the shipwright resources that cap at 1000 so some maxes may be off.
Foomans tool is an absoulte nessesity for ws. It takes a little while setting it u, however what took hours in resource hunting takes 30 secs now. Invaluble!
Yes you get two extra points when crafting a weapon, however you also get extra points for the sub componets. For example.
I amke alaser riflescoped and stocked.
Rifle Barrel
Power Hander(s)
Scope
Stock
Right there that's 8 extra points before I even get to the weapon. So it makes a huge differance in the end product.
Agree totally that the Fooman tool is obligatory. Get the 12pts if you can, but don't bust a gut fot it, resources are MUCH more important. As has also been pointed out above, top yourself up to 125 if you can with the +1/+2 tapes, they make a difference with every roll.
One more thing, if you're a dedicated crafter get the FS Crafting trees. They're a horrible slog to grind, but since I got them I have never had less than a 'great'. Of course you're still vulnerable to the Critical Failure during assembly but a bit of cake/port can help that.
