Along with many other improvements, Season 12 will see the introduction of the Kits and Modules Research School. This new R&D School gives Captains the ability to craft Kit Modules, Kits, and other resources to assist them in ground-based missions.

I'm sorry, I would probably be more enthused if not for the fact that there are already existing Kit Frames and Modules still broken - to wit, upgraded 23c modules that won't slot their abilities in the power tray - and thus I just find myself wondering what will get broken this time...
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
"just keep grinding, just keep grinding, what do we do - we grind!" - Captain Dory
on the plus side, crafting our own kit modules will save a fortune (or make a fortune, depending on mods)
That said, it's not that big a deal. Even my temporal agent is already level 15 in all schools and my other five characters are all level 20 across the board. The hard part will be remembering to slot the projects daily for a while.
Now, what's the special Crafting Kit going to be?
No, it's been touted as "mostly useless" by DPS chasers that have no thought process beyond, "Will this get me a x% more boost to my DPS? No? Well it's useless then."
And they fit exactly where I would expect for passive, always on in battle, kits that supplement your other skills and kit abilities as well as the boff's you bring along. I guess my viewpoint is different since I don't chase the latest DPS increase and look at the overall power of my characters.
The screens look like that new school might be the first one where one can actually craft something so yeay if thats so. But considering the mess of all the other crafts... my expectations are low.

If you were to do this for space consoles, there would have been a HUGE outcry against this. However, since its ground who gives a $#!^. Please test it before you launch it and kill the game some more.
