If you play aMaster Smuggler for any length of time, you should easily make friends with a couple of Weaponsmiths and Armorsmiths. I did NOT go looking to become the "personal slicer" of either a WS or an AS, but I have been both simply through longevity as a smuggler.
My point is this: If you play a master smuggler for even a short while, you should soon meet WS and AS. Offer to slice some things for free, or for a reduced rate, in return for all the AUKs and WUKs you can use. This is a mutually beneficial deal.You get your AUKs and WUKs forcheap (I get them for free) andthey dont have to waste anything on slicer skills.
Even if they tell you they have a slicer they regularly use, tell them you need AUKs or WUKs and make sure they know you are offering a one-time deal, that you are not trying to replace their best friend who slices for them.
In the best case, you end up with a good AS friend and get all your armor for free and a good WS friend who gives you free WUKS andweapons.
I even go so far as to tell my "sources" that I will help them find resources. For example, I was chatting with my AS friend and found out that good wooly hide was very sought after for composite armor. When a good strain became available, I spent an evening or two hunting it down and took it to her. So I slice for her when she needs, and deliver valuable resources when possible, and she gives me AUKs and free armor. ANd I didnt have to use 15 valuable skill points.
