ATM (pre-release of v4, ie beta) :
- A Low-grade mod will adjust 1 stat
- A Medium-grade mod will adjust 2-3 stats
- A High-grade mod will adjust 3-5 stats
Stats may go down as well as up!
Low grage mod offer widest available stat effect.
Only station mechanics can fit (or remove) a mod, but you can dismantle a mod at any time to recraft it into something with a different set of stats.

Detailed description and list of available efffects available on Weapon mods (4.0) page.
Mod crafting produces a random mod of the same grade with random stats
Note that systems using completely random stat systems tend to provide MASSIVE amounts of useless mods, which is currently the case with the new mod system in X:R.
Hopefully the rebalance due in january will stabilize this to a more possitive result overall.
