FarCry CMS is really just a solution built on top of the FarCry framework. The core content types are examples that provide an out of the box solution -- the solution most people start with. But building custom content types is really very straightforward, and so building functinality that is specific to your application is encouraged. That said, there is abviously a bit more work extending the framework than just changing webskins. The only reason to "extend" a core type is if you are wanting to modify that functionality -- mre typically you want new functinality. In this case you should definitely *not* be extending the core content types. As a guide I'd say nine times out of ten you should be looking to build a completely new content type. Building extensions has been vastly improved in the FarCry 4.0 release (currently in beta). If this is a relatively new project I'd certainly recommend having a look at v4.0 if you find yourself needing to build custom extensions to the CMS.
