You aren't able to slice a bio-linked weapon unless it is bio-linked to you (the smuggler). I tried using my smuggler alt to slice my main's Trandoshan Hunting Rifle and Fallaan Hyper Rifles, and it simply won't allow me. I believe the same is true of bio-linked armor, but I haven't personally tested it.

Ah, that would explain why I can slice my own armour... you'd think I'd have worked that out for myself

as others said above me.. all weapons that are bio linked can NOT be sliced unless you yourself are a smuggler and the item is bio linked to you.
I am glad that you Blixtev have taken notice to this HUGE issue, please update us as to when you believe you folks can get it fixed, and oh... please make whatever fix retroactive so that all our current bio linked weapons and armor can be sliced, not just future ones.

Thanks for this tidbit, I'm pretty sure even from home I know whats going on. Sounds like there is some raidial stacking going on. Kinda like when you "try" and slice a power upped weapon, it would auto strip the power up, simply because "remove power up" and "slice" shared the same radial tab. I'll have to see what it takes to change this and not break either the biolinking system or the slicing system.

Jasek, you're an idiot. Fortunately I don't have to suffer your brand of idiocy after mere moments from now.

Grow. Up. It's been 2 years, man. No Smuggle. The set gets lots of other bells and whistles, Smuggler is a decent tree, you got some decent stuff in the CU, pretty much every tree is useful and on top of that, varied - something not a whole lot of other professions can say.
BUT OMG YOU CAN'T TEH SMUGGLEZOR!!!!!! Call the President! Add snarky comments to every Dev post, because god knows, they haven't heard you crying for the past 2 years!
I'd pay good money to have the devs add a Fed Ex quest where you take a package from Bestine to Naboo. Would that make you happy? They can call it Uber Smuggler Content, and you can finally shut up.

Bloody Brilliant!
community: "heres a bug"
Blix: "hmm thats not right.. let me try and fix that"
that Folks is what can save this game...
Blixtev is my new hero!
I'm willing to wait (more) on smuggling as long as bugs are being fixed before new content is added i say Yay devs! get to it..
I reserve the right to become bitter, sarcastic and dispondant if lots of other new content starts getting added while we wait though.. especially if its buggy new content...
Hey, when you guys are done with Blix, send him our way... you know, down that path, around the corner then about 800m straight out of the city. Behind the bushes over there. You might miss us with our camo up (maybe THAT'S what's been happening...). Got a few bugs that you might want to "take a quick look at" if you're in a squashin' kind of mood, hehe...
Seriously, this is awesome news for smugglers and non-smugglers alike. I can't WAIT to see a real fix for this, and then until I can get my couple of bio-linked ADK'd rifles sliced. Rock on! Jawa beer and Smuggler Pie all around (just watch out for Bothans making a beeline for the punch bowl)!

It would be nice if the bio-linking "system" wouldn't let you bio-link it, IF YOU CANNOT CURRENTLY USE/WEAR the ITEM!
I was happy when i got my Katarn armor, I wanted to try the helmet on, I bio-linked it. It cannot be worn by me...... So now I've got a helmet thats bio-linked to me, that I cannot sale or use!!!!!!!
I contacted CS on Valcyn and as expected I got a canned anwser about he was taking note of my problem. Then nothing.
