I'm working on farming all the crafting ingredients for custom Meganaut, just cause it looks nice and I need something to do.

I was looking at the Pinks in the CS and I think they are trashy, I rather have costum set + set bonus that waste 500k+ on trashy pinks.

I agree about the pinks. Im not to sure about the pinks vs any gear...
My eng now smokes with the crafted set.

Custom set for Commando is definitely good for tanking, 27 base dodge on a HW is crazy. 27 base dodge + armour from shield and I guarantee that you won't need to use pots with an engineer in your team, maybe even with 6 Vigor alone.
The plat gear is also really good though, it offers the opposite of custom; damage. 17 base crit on a rifle and 15 base crit on a HW gives good damage, not to mention if you have the crit skill.
Overall, very very happy with custom gear
So far, I have pretty much everything I need for a custom meganaut set. Even went ahead and crafted a few of the pieces. Now I just have to get to level 30 so I can actually use it. Aaahh! Yay for thinking ahead though.
I guess the pinks are coming just one piece at a time. As far as I know there are only three pieces out there in the ether, one for each class. At this rate, I wouldn't expect a set to be possible for quite a while. I'm thinking whatever the next campaign is will make pinks more relevant. Numa was all about the greens, Slouch-o is purples, etc.
Quick question, where are you getting 27 from? Without any weapon, you can get 25 dodge with the Stunt Harness, Meganaut, and a dodge implant. The Grav Ripper (unfortunately) has no dodge, so unless you go down and use the lv25 HW "Wastelander" you can't go above 25. Unless you're talking about a plat HW, then you can get 29 dodge with the +4 dodge lv30 one.
Many people (including myself) believe that, based on the pinks we've seen, there is only one pink piece per class. It makes sense that the devs didn't want everyone to get all pink-spoiled in SL, like we are in PL. And I think those single pieces are still quite good.

After reading a post elsewhere in the forums elsewhere about pinks dropping from a chest (really?) in Scorcher I decided to run it a bit last night. Well, low and behold a pink did drop, but this time it dropped of a random mob, just one of those chalkboard looking ones at the first platform after you pass the first turrent. I also witnessed a recipe drop from a chest and from another random mob. This seems a bit odd to me given where pinks have generally dropped in the past (high level mobs) and I gotta ask STS/Devs:
Do you really want pinks dropping off random non-boss mobs and/or chests? Seems inappropriate.
Thoughts?

Still trying to comprehend how 2k+ can die from Barrels O.o
I've actually done the exact opposite myself lol. Some people list recipes less than 10K in cs, so I have boughten a few of them in cs. Guess people started crafting, realized how much it costs, and gave up? Anyways u get good deals in there too, so keep ur eyes peeled for recipe deals :-)
In other crafting related news, the rarity rating of some of the crafting items is really screwed up. Some of the "epic" crafting items are super easy to find, while some of the orange and green items are near impossible. I'm sure you all know this, just thought I'd throw it out there anyway.
I'm under the impression that crafting items are, in theory, supposed to drop on any map. Am I wrong? If I'm looking for an electronic master override should I try a specific map?
Is it just me or the crafted set for engineer sucks. The comm and op crafted sets actually boosts the desired stat. My crafted Atomite stat boosts my to hit and int as opposed to my plat set which boosts dodge. I rarely use my red set except when I get tired of seeing my green guy run around the screen I'll switch for something new.
