    Are you crafting them at Mk II or Mk XII? Best way to craft is go Mk II and then get some Phoenix upgrades and upgrade.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    The item quality controls the number of mods. white = 0, green = 1, blue = 2, pink/very rare = 3, purple/ultra rare = 4, gold /epic = 5.

    This. If you craft as Mark II and your R&D level is high enough you have a 100% chance of crafting at VR quality with 3 mods to start.

    It's also cheap to craft a few dozen if you want a set with the mods that can only be gotten at crafting time, PEN (armor penetration) and OVER (beam overload). Re-engineering will never get you those two mods, or SPR (torp spread) for torpedoes.

    Also, if you craft at Mark II then you have 10 extra cheap chances for a quality upgrade to ultra rare or epic, compared to crafting at Mark XII.
