I've sliced a lot of weapons since the CU and it hasnt made a single bit of difference if i got -6% or 16% on a slice on any stat, it didn't effect the stats of the weapon.

I had a 12% range distance slice on my pistol, still has a range of 35m
6% speed slice, still has a speed of 1.4
8% dmg slice, still has a dmg of 356-948

etc etc

Point is, I don't think slicing is just not giving high effects I think its not giving ANY effects at all. No DPS change, range change whatever. Slicing is just completly borked ... until it finaly gets some love :T

All the time, Ive turned many people away telling them to wait for the slicing revamp to hit. They are happy to wait and not get a 3% slice.

Slicing me no Likey. I tell people that I'm not slicing till its fixed bacause I refuse to be responsible for a negative return.

to be honest i dont even slice anymore, shame really cause i used to enjoy it but with its current state i dont see any real purpose to it. I'll start again once it gets revamped (which is soonish ) but up untill then i'm just minding my own shipping spice around the galaxy ........................................in my mind

I do warn customers about what can happen, i dont like to slice. I had a friend that wanted me to slice there quest armor and i had a badfeeeling about it. Came out all 3 pieces at 10% encumberance. At least it wasnt detroyed lol--------- Pumbak

If people send me a tell I just repeat what a lot of people in this thread do - that I can - but you may get a negative slice, that you should wait until the slicing update, and that if it's a bio-linked weapon to consider not using it until you get it sliced (heard that bio linked weapons may not be slicable/tradable properly - don't know if this is accurate or not - but hey, better safe than sorry).

I keep my M/Smuggler tag up so people will ask me about it - figure with all the respec Smugglers who may not be aware of the bug (no disrespect intended to all you folks new to the field) that this will count towards my community service hours

I still do a fair amount of other work, but slicing for -1% damage on a multi-million credit weapon ended my slicing days on day one of the CU. Education is the key now. There are those who still try and use slicing as an incentive, but I simply shake my head and wonder if their customers realize that waiting a few short months will likely grant them a controlled, and vastly improved result.

I sliced a noobs CDEF carbine and rifle yesterday and got 30% damage on the carbine, and 11% damage on the rifle.

I haven't enhanced anything else of value for anyone else, i'm too scared to try.

Ya, I always tell people about the dangers.

I have a role-playing whisper macro set up to tell them about how illegal it is, and that because the empire has outlawed slicing that the slice can be anywhere from -10% to +30% and that the stat to be increased cannot be chosen.

Its a great little macro that keeps the RP believeable and immersive, as well as informing them of the process.

I even had one guy go so far as to think I was really a dev or an NPC, as all my responses were macro'd.

It was funny.

I just don't slice.. waiting for the fix myself

I kept slicing to help a weaponsmith friend, but I don't dare use it until the revamp. This weaponsmith makes tissued weps only, and they usually get -% slices. It ain't worth it, but I won't give it up until I see how the revamp goes.
