......not sure what else...

Who ever said that the RE system is not balanced with the crafting system. I know there's people aiming thier torches at me already. But really though, from a game mechanics point of view reverse engineering is just a variant of crafting anyway. Difference is you can get slightly better results on some things through reverse engineering, but the balance is that you cannot mass produce it.

Having said that, I think that should there be a slicing system in place for ship components (and please let it be well thought out and bug free before it ever hits my server), then both crafted and RE'd components should be sliceable. Once again I argue that if you take away the RE system (or make it obsolete) then many pilots won't have any reason to go to space once they finish space content.
