I can understand keeping the rest limited use, they aren't easily farmable.
However, the Tenloss Rifle schematic is a quick and easy farm, and I've got 10 myself (two of which I did the quest for, the rest were trades for reduced rifle pricing), and I've gone through at least 5 schematics.
I'm sure other smiths have gone through even more

If it's such an easy farm, then why are you complaining? It will just make the ones youcraft worth that much more. If it'sunlimited usethen this gun becomes just another regular rather than a rare special. I personally thank SOE for adding some variety into the lives of weaponsmiths everywhere as we now have to worry about something other than how much resources we can hoard.

Because. of. storage.
Right now my bank is full, my medium house is full, my large house is full (yeah, I know "large houses aren't worth it", but I wanted a large house), and my two equipment factories are full. I've got packs on my vendors, too.
Ten more item spaces of storage would be enough to pull stuff out of my vendor, or make a little room in my equipment factory to actually use it.

I could not agree more. Having these schematics being limited use if just a PITA. Especially since you need semi rare drop items in the first place to use the schematic.
I'd be in favor of making all these schematics unlimited use. The problem is that the drop rate seems out of whack. You seem to get 5 component drops (from 2-5 per drop)to every1 schematic drop. Considering each schematic is 2 uses, that means a lot of extra components are going to be floating around.
But as someone else said, it will probably never happen.

Meh, I like the DXR the way it is.. it's just right IMO.. keeps the weapon from being mass produced, but it isn't some leet inaccessable to most drop type thing.
I've had alot of fun with sending friends on the "quest".. I make everyone bring me a schema and cubes, and then I craft the weapon.
It's just cool.
The scythe... well.. I wish that had 5 uses instead of 2... 2 is not enough considering the possibilities of failure.. if some swordsman brings me this schema, I want to make sure he/she walks away with a top quality weapon.

If the DXR6 was unlimited use, it STILL woudn't be massproduceable. It *STILL* requires cubes.
Also, this is the ONLY limited use schematic that can be EASILY farmed (Yeah, you COULD run a second character through a themepark, finish it, delete the character and restart, but that's not easy, same with the Scythe).
Or, they could just make the quest non-repeatable, disallowing players to run the quest every day or so and stock up on these things.

It won't happen. The only reason they put it in like this is so many evercamp addicts who play this game want something they can camp for hours.

I'm not having a hard time getting these, and I like these new limited use schematics, yes they take up room, but I'm managing. At the rate I get cubes and schems I think I'll be good for life.
If they were unlimited then they would have to adjust the drop rate which in turn will make the price for these things skirocket, making it so lesser known smiths wont get or afford the weapon.

exactly. lol, the cater to loot pile campers. Especially with the cubes, what a dumb idea to put them in one pile. They really should make any NPC over 10k ham drop them regularly. The new weapons arent that good, my t21s are alot better than the disrupters.

What are you talking about?
Cubes drop off of ANY of the humanoids in the cave! The Crazed Genosians, the Mercenaries, etc

Its extremly easy to farm the schematic in a proper group. My group runs the lab onec a week and everyone pulls the rifle schematic while we're there. We currently are sitting on 12 schematics right now.

If its storgae thats a problem, since all the schematics are the same, try to talk the devs into letting you stack all 10 of your 5 use schematics into one 50 use one, kind off like how you can take two 2k stacks of the same steal and combine it into one 4k stack

Why dont you just learn the scematic and store it in a droid data storage unit? THey hold 150 bits of data....more than enough for a few scems : )
