Are Guild augment items still useful?

[Thoden]

I used to craft a lot, and guild augments were highly prized. I haven't done any since the new system came out, and it seems like a lot of guild augments don't stack anymore. Are they still viable? I'd like to know whether or not to dump my inventories of guild items... Thanks for your answers in advance!

Large Augments with the Spell power crystal are still useful. Everything else... notsomuch.

Depends on the amenities you've got on your ship actually and what slot you can achieve with your guild level.
There are some minor advantages for large slots.
- +4 guild bonus on skills instead of +3 from amenities.
- +4 AT
- +4 elemental damage. you can easily top that with red augments
- a few more SP escpecially for fvs and sorc
- +2 confirm crits
- 20% Fort instead of 15% from amenities

That should be it.

- 20% Fort instead of 15% from amenities

Note that the new-fangled ship buffs scale with level. So for a low-level character, the augment is 20% instead of 5% buff. That extra +15% can matter at the levels where you can't yet wear a Heavy Fort item.
