I was reading the Superior Mastercraft and Stygian-Triprismatic Polymer Armor Template texts. Here are they for reference:

"Superior Mastercraft
Skill Checks made using the device gain a +2 Equipment bonus, or its existing Equipment bonus increases by +2."

"Stygian-Triprismatic Polymer Armor Template
A Suit of Armor possessing the Stygian-Triprismatic Polymer Armor Template increase its Equipment bonus to Reflex Defense by +1, as well as granting a +2 Equipment bonus to Stealth checks to avoid being detected be electronic sensors."

First, i see that there are two interpretations for the Superior Mastercraft:
1 - * It gives +2 equipment bonus to skill checks;
    * It increases +2 equipment bonus to an existing equipment bonus, thus not limited by Skill Checks.

2 - * It gives +2 equipment bonus to skill checks;
    * It increases +2 equipment bonus to an existingSkill Check equipment bonus, thus limited to only Skill Checks.

 The second interpretation makes some ideas that i read in "ANCIENT WEAPONS AND GOOD BLASTERS: THE EQUIPMENT HANDBOOK" post to simply not work. Examples: Handheld Micro Shield increasing +1 to +3 Reflex Equipment Bonus, +2 to Fort bonus from Armors, +2 to Strenght bonus from some armos, etc.

 But, if the first interpretations is the rigth one, them Superio Master Craft would increase the equipment Bonus from Stygian-Triprismatic Polymer Armor Template to +3 to Reflex (and the stealth bonus too), making even better than the armor specificīs superior tech upgrades.

 So, i'm opening this discussion to know if someone can help find the rigth interpretation. Thanks to everyone in advance.
