Howdy,
If you have equipment that you need to have disassembled for the components it is rather easy.
Go to the crafting terminal, select the bottom option Disassembly. Then put the Item that you have in for disassembly. You can only disassemble items that already have bonus stats to them. So if they're older weapons, older armour, that is good to disassemble.
Start Collecting all the various components because I forsee as we level up, the Recipies that we get use these and we may want to begin modifying our equipment or armour accordingly. During beta there was a component stacking issue not sure if that is still the case but just drop them in your locker and forget about them.
So don't sell disassemble!
