I also know they aren't worthless, but nobody's going to pay 200k a piece for them. I'll be lucky if my smith buys them back at his production costs, so yeah, I'm in the hole on this business transaction.
Taking averages into account, does this mean my next three slices will all be 34% damage? No? Didn't think so
Want to make a bet? I'm a Master Weaponsmith/Master Smuggler. You still sell the primo stuff regardless of the slice. Someone will always buy it, but you just won't make as much as you would with a better slice. Remember one important thing about this game, as long as there's dabblers, there's a place for everything. Someone may not have the speed mods because they've spread themselves thin. The customer is out there, you just have to find him/her.

Ok, so I'm in the market for a new laser carbine. I'm lucky enough to find 10 krayt tissues all of the same serial number. I speak with my weaponsmith and here if I put them all into a factory, I can get three carbines instead of 2. Hoping to increase my chances should a slice come up poor, I fork all 10 tissues over.
Smith performed wonderfully. 3.4 sp and 83-387 damage
Took my guns to a Master Smuggler. Three speed slices. Three. All three. As a BH/carbineer speed isn't much of an issue for me, but damage can mean success or defeat. I basically just pissed away 600k for guns I have no need for.
I know slicing is random, but come on, three in a row? Talk about crappy luck.

Just stuff them into bank until then.

Too bad you're not on Eclipse, I'd buy one of 'em for 200k. Like I said, it would greatly speed up my progress to Carbines 4 and beyond.

And police men...
Seriously I've seen FAR worse streaks than that. Trying slicing 2/3 pieces of a suit of armor under 25%, most of them under 20%.

St Jude, patron of police men? Didn't knew that. Who is the patron of police women?
