While I'm not a finger waggler, Emu Diva or pessimist...I'll weigh in again.
Sort of like the 1x Christmas reward, could use similar code that if you have an UW that your first Ultimate Augment is free. Not sure what rank though. Maybe same rank as the UW, so if you have an UW IX then you can get 1 free UA IX. So when you get your free UA, you'll be flagged, and no 2nd free reward. Lesson learned from before, NPC doesn't always see your quest_global so would have to use DBI code to make it work 100%. No promises doing free UA, just a maybe.
Might make all the rank 1 UA on vendor, not sure of price yet. Then rank them up after you got them from vendor, and again not sure of price/components yet for recipe/ranks.
I like this idea of having a free ranked aug to those who have put in the time to have a high ranked UW. Providing rank 1 at a light cost to give a starting point to the customization sounds like a good plan as well. This would allow for a painless change over to a different aug type while trying out different combinations.
Overall, being able to customize the UW with multiple UA's would as good if not better UW. Being able to add different combinations that suits the tier you're working through at the time instead of a cookie cutter build of UW sounds very enticing.
Quad attack, lifetap proc, increased crippling blow effects would be a hell of a good combo
