You can craft Mk XII stuff right from the start, but you won't start reliably getting very rare items until you meet the minimum skill level. About lvl 12-13 if you're using very rare doffs and skill boosters.

lvl 15 is when you unlike the unique crafting items for each category - omni-directional beam array, conductive rcs etc. However, you need to be boosting your points above that level if you want a chance of an ultra-rare item.

My two cents.

What you want to do is get as high as possible in a school. eg projectiles is lvl 14 atm for me.
Then i crafted a mk 2 Quantum torpedo. It immediatly went rare on me with 4 modifiers.

Then i went to my lvl 15 beams and crafted about 20 superiour beams and upgraded that torpedo to mk13.

It performs better than my other torps.
