ZTM; "i'm new to smuggling"

Well, in case you didn't notice NONE of us have even started smuggling so we're all in the same boat.

We're drug dealers, black-market engineers and traders in fp. Nothing we do is smuggling.

And the sliced weapon/armor crackdown makes a big no-never-mind. My dancer, who actually DANCES *gasp*, has been stopped numerous times with no more hassle than my master smuggler.

Smuggler, Smuggler, Smuggler Pie, Dancers can't smuggle and neither can I.

I believe the reason we can't slice ship components is a balance issue; namely they believe they struck one and don't want it messed with.

Well cut this wire, cut this wire, and success you have overcome the system after shunting the power etc, etc but why shouldnt we be able to randmly boost a stat on starship components???

I'm too poor to buy and too low level a pilot to buy the good components for ships, and also theshipwrights i find have worse junk displayed than i loot already. It seems reasonable to me after slicing my way up the slicing tree that technically the way slicing works would fall into the same pattern for starship components. Obviously the slice would always fail if you dont have JTLS, and randomly affect a starship attribute depending upon what component you were slicing. This would allow, people to really customise their ships too, as potentially the same ships and components could end up with all sorts of weird combinations

oh and Thanks Yimaz, just my pistols xp to go now, phew!

I believe that is the offical response. They believe JTL is balanced and if we mess with any of the stuff it will become unbalanced like ground pvp has. It's why you don't loot Exceptional and Legendary items in space. It would just turn into what the ground base game is now.

Way back when the devs suggested that smugglers MAY slice ship components. But at the time I believe they were also promising a smuggler revamp. Honestly I'm not to bothered. I don't really like slicing that much. I'll do itif someone asks nicely,but I won't stand in coronet being a slice monkey. I was down to 200k the other day with 2.35 million in debts and not once did I think of slicing in coronet for cash. My biggest customer is myself and I don't even like slicng for myself I'd hate to slice every bit of space junk someone buys or loots.
