If you had possibly the best 9 krayt tissues ever dropped on your server(173dmg, -.6spd), would you use them now?
I'm thinking not. because no one knows how item(weapon) conversion is going to really work. And some of the new rifles may be better, and only take 8 or less tissues. And the fact that i dont have an ADK right now also discourages me from using these things.
Even though I'm fairly set on waiting, I'd still like to know how the community feels about using them now. I'd really like a hint froma DEV/CORR, but that is doubtful. So what are your thoughts Rifleman(and whoever else is reading this)????
(i'm very lucky two times over because not ony did i loot these, but the winning bidder of my ill-thought-out auction could not come through with the 40mill bid)

use em would be my vote.
1) new weapons may not use them as upgrades
2) you benefit from it now while you can still solo high level stuff
3) don't get it sliced yet - with the future smuggler revamp you will have a better idea of what type of slice you need and they will be better able to do what you want.
4) adk's bring weapon up to 100% condition when applied - so when the weapon hits 50% put it away until you get and adk.

your point #3 is also something wieghing heavily on my mind. but isn't the smuggler Revamp still in concept??? that does not bolster my spirits at all becaue tonight i just saw a post by a dev about a Ranger revamp posted in '03!!!
you make some good points. It's not like i have to use it to death, and a DXR made with these would SLAY the Juvy Krayts i hunt
among other things i'm sure
well, i'd like to get at least a few more responses either way.

even if #3 is in concept and not for a while your weapon with those tissues before a slice is going to seem like it got a 35% damage slice. So it will not be that big of deal to wait I would think. Also after the Curb (which appears to be closer then orginally thought) a Damage slice may not be whata Rifleman wants so even if you get lucky now - it may be unlucky in the future.
maybe i should bug the WeaponSmith Corr

As for #4, the weapon's stats don't begin to degrade until it hets 25% of max condition. Armor loses stats beginnning at 50% though.
