A problem with current crafting

[harperfan7]

In my humble opinion, its too hard to craft a good suit of metal armor, and too easy to craft a good psi headband.   Metal armor builds have the least room to buff int; a lot of good tincan builds got neutered pretty hard by the update.  I think that right now its too hard, but before the update it was too easy; something in between would be ideal.   Psi headbands dont get an increase in crafting difficulty from enhancements, which is odd.  Metal armor gets harder with each enhancement.

I'd like to see a normalized progression between the types of metal. I've been spamming only steel plates on this tin can build, because you can simply stack more than the other metals, ending up as the universal best. Metal types already have tradeoffs built into them, why also make tungsten harder to craft?

If everything ended up at 112% at the same pace, I think it wouldn't destroy certain types of crafting as much. But it's possible anything that has optional components that add a percent of requirements also get extra screwed, which might be fine for Energy Shields but not for Metal Armors

If you are using plain steel plates for armour I think you have a brain worm.

Yeah you're right, I actually went and crafted body armor with a lower quality tungsten and ended up only losing energy DR, who cares about stuff my energy shield covers anyway
