It's okay, if you craft a good spear now, nerfs won't affect it.

Spear Throw only DEX build with Pack Rathound (to carry more spears), Quick Pockets (to equip spears in combat more easily) is the new DOMINATING build

They're neat, but they're a straight upgrade to spears.  I think you should have to choose between wings and a powered module.

Except that unlike electronics components, the wings do eat into the Mechanics requirement, which is the limiting factor for base damage. 80 Mechanics wings means 8 more skills points needed to make a spear out of the same metal plate. If you already have the electronics, adding an electric component to the spear has 0 penalty on its damage (10% for the energy component) - same Mechanics requirement.

I agree that it's pretty minor compared to the bonus you get, but I think having that penalty reflect the bonus you get to be more appropriate than removing the powered modules.
