With the Empire cracking down on sliced weapons and armor, publish 7 brings the ability for players to be able to view sliced armor and weapons to find out which items have been sliced.fficeffice" />



Players with sliced weapons, were you able to examine your weapon or armor and tell if it had been sliced by using the examine window?

Weapon Attributes: This weapon has been altered by a smuggler and may bring unwanted attentions from the Empire.

The tag is nice, but it would be cool to see what and how much atributes has been alteret. (Like you see it when using a power-up.)

It SHOULD say something like:


Sliced: Speed <percentage> or


Sliced: Damage <percentage>


Way more useful

I agree, if there was a way to have the % of how it was altered it would greatly assist in how some smugglers gauge their pricing, it also lets the player know for sure exactly what was altered.


If this could be included that would be excellant.

Yes, a sliced tag that shows what kind and how much of an improvement (if any) was made.


How about doing it like a skill mod


Base/Sliced; XX%/XX%


And if a slice is attemped but fails that to should be displayed so that the item owner can see that it can no longer be sliced.

I agree. Since #6 I have yet to even see a scanning group, let alone be scanned. No one I know has ever been scanned either. I thought this was supposed to be a big huge Imperial presence thing???


Question though. You say "Sliced Weapon Tag" in the title, but is this going on armor too?

It may very well be that the AMOUNT and TYPE of slice is not "remembered" by the weapon data structure - only the fact (or "flag") that a slice of some kind occurred. If that's true, you'll never get the display you're asking for.
