Er, yea...doesn't make much sense, especially survival sense, to slice weapons for a BH that has hunted you.
And I am sure that slicing prices are going to go up; more time, more services/options available, etc.

Testify4; "...seeing what other Smugglers are shouting in starports..."
*shudder*
Sorry...but the idea that criminals hawk their services by shouting in public, in the vicinity of law enforcement, is just plain ANNOYING.
I really REALLY want NPCs, when present, to respond to keywords spoken in vicinity chat and immediately attack a Smuggler shouting like that.
Next thing on my list is to make visible Smuggler titles equivalent to being overt as far as law enforcement NPCs are concerned. Sure, you can display a Smuggler title but every law enforcement NPC in the city will be running in your directing with blasters blazing. Let's see how you slice while constantly taking fire.
Smuggling is illegal, let's see it treated that way.

/agree 100%
I love to RP a lil, and have them at least follow me into the back of the starport, or even to a non crowded area.
It just makes their and your experience so much better...

Depending on how much the concept goes live, I think 10k should be the minimum since we will be able to choose what gets enhanced and that slicing will be more personalized.
Hell, right now I'm getting 10k a slice.

I'm thinking they will go up. One reason is that we will be doing less slicing and more fixing, I'm afraid. The main reason we have bulk slicing order now, and so many return customers is the random slice. In the random environment Joe Blow brings you 10 rifles to slice in hopes that 1 of them will be what he wants. In this scenario they will only have you slcie 1 and tell you what sort of upgrades they want.
I think it will be more time consuming, and the potential for reputation is great with the mini-game aspect. All this leads me to believe prices will go up. I think it will be affected by the GCW and any further contraband efforts post CURB as well.

If you're a master and charging 5k, you're doing yourself a disservice.
Also if you slice for a weaponsmith for just free tools... you're also doing yourself a disservice.

New system...old system....I'll still charge a packet for slicing. Folks that come to me for slicing know that I hate it and thus will charge alot for it. I'm like the grumpy old grandfather smuggler of my server.
