Ok im not a smuggler...just some joe who doest understand this new system and needs to get a rifle sliced...the stats are killer so i dont want to make sure its done right the first time if i do end up getting it sliced


i will also be ADK'n it so i want it sliced as much as possible


the stats are...


Adv. Laser rifle


2.72 speed

469-1126

20 acc bonus

82 SAC


any advice on what slices to get and any other advice would me much appreciated...and im also curious to know if the end stats are determinable before the slices or if its random like in the old system...if u they can be determined before hand im curious to know what they would end up at


ialready have +25 general ranged speed in attachments and hopefully soon +25 rifle speed as well so i dont know if speed slicing would be a bad idea since it might get capped and not help at all


btw sorry to clutter the boards but i really want to make sure this is sliced right if i do get it done

First all the info on how and what can be sliced is in the New FAQ in the stickies above.

An Adv las rifle caps at 1184 crafted, not sure what the slice cap is (currently lower than the crafted unless the last publish changed that) but at most you can probably get a tier 1 2% damage slice on it. Critical slices currently apply but don't add any extra damage to the attack. You said you really don't need speed so that slice is out too. So really you don't need any slices, just pups.

OTOH I've heard there are dimishing returns on mods CA's/AA's so even with +50 you may not get as much a reduction in speed as you are hoping. So all said and done speed slice may help (max 12% tier 4 needs simple toolkit, fine toolkit, and delicate trigger assembly) or if you want get a crit slice and hope in the future they fix it OR just wait.

I know that wasn't much help.

Yes a pup can go above the cap. If you have it sliced make sure to remove the pup first or you'll probably screw up the rifle.

why must we always jump to tell ppl to look at FAQ thats info onbio linked weps- itis pre-nerf info..


is it really that freaking hard to type a couple quick lines to someone instead of jumping the chance to tell them to goFAQ off?


The FAQ's all FAQ'd anyhow.. I dont see it sayingenuff on how borked +critical+ slicesare..


Well we bent overand zipped our lips when they stealthily pulled smug slicing ships from the concepttable exactly one year ago.. So I guess its best to do the same when concerning +critical+ slices and FAQ all those stupid enuff to pursue them- FAQ em..let theirmillion credwep stay unmodifiable to match their million cred bio linked flechette pistol..

Did you see me stop at "read the FAQ"? No I went on to explain it didn't I? And the FAQ is there for a reason...

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THE SAME DAMN QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER!

I didnt no that slicing made ur weapon vulnerable to decay in the first place, neway if i were u id try and and speed slice it all the way, if u got that much damage in the first place i wouldnt bother, and i always thought critical slices were dumb.

slicing doesnt affect decay rate...but it affects chance to break upon repair


and thanks for the input
