Agreed, a sliced weapn should be an infrequent and wonderful thing.

Well, the current system certainly does accomplish the first part of your statement.

The second, however, is certainly up for debate. I'm on Starsider, and I think the reason you don't find many smugglers actually slicing is because of two main reasons:

1) we don't feel like farming krayt dragons and nightsisters for the loot to do it, and
2) we don't want to carry a backpack full of non-stackable loots to do the slicing.

I don't mind the basics of the new system, but the rarity of the drops makes it cost more than it's really worth. For the price of a level 3 damage slice, I can get a damage-capped FWG5 with a good SAC. Sure, I can then slice it for speed, but why bother? My speed is limited by the specials I use. From what I understand, unless I can get modified speed under 1 second, the change in speed isn't at all noticable.

So where on earth do you get more finely tuned and simple toolkits?

I managed to stockpile over 100 crates of wuks and auks before the patch. I just placed them on my vendor for 2 mill each. I know I can get more for them but my server is one of the few fair priced ones out there, and I cant complain since I only paid 5 - 10k per crate and have been able to fully slice a full set of adk'd armor and two adk krayt weapons.

Lucky! I've only been able to do that to my rifle. It is a nice rifle, but with 3 more ADKs and Fine Toolkits I could have some stellar armor also...
