I'm not a weaponsmith so please bear with me.....
I'm looking to get an e11 mark 2 crafted with some BH loot I've picked up and I have the following questions.
1) What's the difference between reinforced casings and enhanced power cells? (They look like they affect the same stats, but is one bettter than the other??)
2) How many different looted components can be used on a weapon? (i.e. can i use reinforced casings, a looted scope, and a looted stock all on the same wep?)
3) Are the looted stocks/scopes still broken??
Answers to these questions would be very much appreciated, thanks

1) enhanced power cells go into things like t-21's, high cap scatter, dl44xt, dx2, elite carbines etc... Casings go into fwg5's, tusken rifle, berserker rifle, Czerka dart if you can find the often rumored stack of 6.
2) carbs or rifles, most can take either cells or casings and one scope and stock. Pistols can take either cells or casing and one scope.
3) sometimes. But after a log out of around half an hour or so, the weapon will show the proper damage type

Acutally the two are quite different, in the sense of which guns use them as enhancements (enhanced power cells are the same as krayt tissues, whereas the reinforced casinging are used instead of Gorax Shards.
2) How many different looted components can be used on a weapon? (i.e. can i use reinforced casings, a looted scope, and a looted stock all on the same wep?)
This totally depends on the weapon crafted, for instance a scatter can be made with one energy cell, whereas a T21 will require a set of 6 cells.
3) Are the looted stocks/scopes still broken??
The new scopes / stocks have been readjusted with the last publish, and all weapons crafted with the old bh looted stocks / scopes will have their dmg readjusted the next time you login after having the weapon in your possesion.Answers to these questions would be very much appreciated, thanks

I don't really know too much about stocks. I have some, but I haven't used them as there's is no SAC reduction on them like the crafted ones.

The most basic of the Looted stocks are the ones gotten from the Theme parks, which are +25min +30 Max and -0.5 speed. So any looted damage stocks better than that is good. Like everyone has been saying, for the serious weapon user, crafted stocks are much much better as you can lower the SAC. And I know my -25 SAC stocks guarantee that my weapons are SAC capped on the initial craft and I can then put more experimentation points into damage, speed, and accuracy.
But that is not to say that they are not usefull at all. They are of great use to professions that are picking up a weapon to be usefull but have no real weapon skills at all. IE: Master Doctor/Master Combat Medic or a Jedi. These professions leave nearly no skills for carbines or Rifles (they will take an Adv Laser Rifle 99.99% of the time) and there are times having a ranged weapon would come in handy. A Doc/CM might get bored of just healing all the time and might want to feel usefull when not healing. A Jedi might use a rifle when Stasissed outside of sabe throw range. Niether of them will likely have any ranged special attacks and therefore not need to worry about SAC cost.

I don't use them...my crafted ones give much more room to experiment on other things, since i can get -25 SAC. I think others here might agree.
