Hey guys,
So I was upgrading a comlink the other day and it occurred to me that doing it yourself isn't really any cheaper than buying new. My character has skills in mechanics, armorer, electronics and software and in almost every case, it costs about the same to just buy stuff off the rack. Am I crazy or is there next to no benefit in trade-skills? |
