I find myself in a position where it may be best to add an optional feat (extra attack) from the mastermind's manual (page 110)which costs 5 point/rank,however the custom feat option in HL is set to 1 points/rank.... How Do increase to its proper cost without i increasing the feats rank? same question for a custum power extra??

Well, that particular thing is labeled as a power, not a feat, so it could be said to be handled right there. 
It should be very easy for you to copy it over, or I can write it up and post it here. Or I can see if I can rig something to adjust the text based on ranks in the feat. Something like that probably ought to be done for Bullet Time anyhow. *shrug* It's outside of my current understanding of the system, but it might yet be doable.

Occam's Razor strikes again.
I did find a way to make a feat cost multiple points. If you look at the Minions feat, there's a bit in the Eval scripts where it sets "field[PPCost].value += field[ftBaseRank].value" if the Fanatical option is set. Just put that line in by itself under a feat's evaluation, and multiply the base rank value by the amount of additional points you want to charge. For example, for Bullet time, you could add the line, "field[PPCost].value += field[ftBaseRank].value * 2" and remove the part of the description which references "for every three ranks".

meh - ill pass there...im not a programmer lol
In both, it's built as a Power. The Optional Feats heading is only referring to the small paragraph stating that some of the optional feats in 4 relate to Attacks of Opportunity. They start a new (same size as Attacks of Opportunity) heading to move from Attacks of Opportunity to Multiple Attacks.As further evidence, the Multiple Attacks thingie is set up as a Power block.
Anyhow, like you said, you can find it under the Mastermind's Manual Chapter 8 heading in the Character Settings in the Masterminds Manual.
It's really just cut-and-paste in this incident, but since it already exists as a Power, there shouldn't be any issues.
