I really like the idea that a shipwright can reverse engineer components. I think this would be a great feature to add to other crafting professions. What do you all think?

For example, I could craft several different melee weapons. For the first one, I'd spend all of my experimentation points on damage. For the second weapon, I'd spend all my points on durability, then efficiency, and so on. Then I'd reverse engineer them all to make one super weapon.

Obviously, there is a drawback here. I would need to create several weapons, but I'd only have one in the end. I would have to charge a premium price for that one weapon. Do any of you think that you have customers that would pay more for a reverse engineered weapon?

I am glad I am not alone in this idea. Ever since JTL hit and SW's were able to reverse engineer parts, I have been thinking about the ability of a Master WS being able to reverse engineer weapons.

I think it is a great idea.

Not a good idea, your version would make experiment points useless. Now if we could RE loot like the SW's that may have some merit, but not crafted weapons.
