The only real issue I have with the augment system is it left artifice/cybertech out in the cold. These are the two professions that make modifications to existing items yet who makes the augment kits? The same guys that make the augments that go in them!?! The same guys that already have a way to get augment slots, crit crafting, on the items they make. And of those, Armstech get shafted because it doesn't have a materially cheap way to RE for the kits. I.E. No belts to RE for kit parts. Yes Cybertech and Artifice make the mods that go in all that orange gear, but only until you start doing dailies/ops then they can't make anything to compete with these easily gained mods.

Most items have a 20% chance to gain a new schematic, though Murphy seems to make sure the one you want is the last one you get. There is no way to increase the chance though they really need to put in some kind of streakbreaker for it, or maybe just increase the chance per failed attempt maybe.

Yeah if they made them available thru crit color crystal missions they would be rarer then the way it's set up now. Didn't see a Feedback section so I put it here since it's crew skills related.

Please move the color crystals from the Treasure Hunting gemstone missions to the color crystal missions in Archeology. If not at least make them a bonus to the mission and don't cut into the normal gemstone returns.

Out of 20+ schematics I have recieved from this mission skill exactly 3 have been for my faction. So I'm supposed to be an armor supplier for the people I'm fighting!?! Am I just getting unlucky? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm posting this after recieving 5 straight opposite faction schematics.
