This is true. A lot of starting Carbineers fall into the trap of investing into Krayt Tissues (usually around base) which aren't all that helpful and worth your money.. since a slice can make or break a weapon.
Generally, I don't recommend Krayt Tissues to anyone unless they are atleast -0.5 speed, coupled with a Form-fitting stock, and have "some" max damage on them.. +30 isn't much and can be achived through better resources, a 12-point weaponsmith, and 1 or 2% in slices, heh.
Krayt tissues that are under around 60-70 max damage are also not really worth a BH/Carbineer's time and money. Getting a 35% damage slice and throwing a powerup is much more financially viable. Tissues essentially only help in speed.
personally, I got a supplier as my alt's master WS and other alt's master smuggler, so I can afford to buy loads of tissues, make loads of weapons, slice em all, keep the best slices and get my money back with profits selling the other ones.
so not really an issue here
can we please get the stats without powerups ? I think it's more ... fair !

All good points. More in case new players are listening:
Range mitigation destroys the increased damage provided by Krayt tissues. The only times the increase indamage really is useful is PvE (of course, but do you really need a 1 million credit weapon for PvE?), hitting all melee professions that have no mitigation and when the guns are made by the really high damage tissues such as the +80 or higher ones.
As mentioned, the real advantage of tissues is the speed reduction. However, if you have speed tapes or are a BH/carbineer that advantage is not needed at all.
The best bet is using those form fitting stocks since they increase damage and reduce speed. The normal stocks increase damage and increase speed so the effect on speed is quite dramatic. Plus the cost of those stocks is usually pretty low even though the stocks. And again, carbineers with extra speed don't really need these and the form fitting stocks are less damage than the ones made by weaponsmiths.
That is why I just stick with normal weapons made by 12 point weaponsmiths that have extremely good slices.
