Hey everyone, it's me again. I am still working on my 50 posts so that I can get the edit function so I figured I would throw some more silly questions at you.
Do any of you Smuggler/AS slice your armor for vendor sales? I know this used to be a big thing, but it seems that with the new way of getting smuggler supllies it may be a little mor difficult.
If you do have a sliced armor vendor, which slices do you see selling better? I know the AB slice is a big hit with aolt of the BH crowd, but seems like the rarity of the SAB would make it difficult to keep a vendor stocked.
Thanks again everyone.

Pre-CU, I sold only sliced armor. But since the CU, making the armor takes more time, and to have it all sliced first would be just too much. Also the types of slices people want vary. So, for me, Id rather make the armor and not invest the time and guesswork into what slices people want. Ill leave the slicing as a custom business to the smugglers. I dont see the benefit in guessing what type of slice some might want. But I would see a custom order slicing business as a potentially good business.

I have played with the idea of throwing a free 25% AB slice on all RIS and BH armor. Won't cost much and it is better than nothing

I personally slice most of my armour, usually with the AB slice if its assault, or the absorb if its not, excepting RIS and factional, I leave these unsliced since people will complain if I do (found that out the hard way!)
but also, I dont do vendor sales, I'm a custom only guy, and tend to put the few "production" suits I make on display in my office/showroom with a price tag over it.
beside my nearly finished mando suit
