Thread: Help out Thunderheart Poll on Slicing experimentation
B.
Would also like to see wuk/auk schems moved to smuggler because then the experimentation could only apply to the wuk/auks (which would make sense, since the laser knife just cuts wires and doesn't improve the weapon that way, and clamps just tell you which wire to slice (which is also ridiculous,because while I agree modifying weapons is a smuggler thing (I.E. Han's modified blaster) it shouldn't be bomb disarming, since slicing is hacking. but thats another poll altogether) so knives and clamps shouldn't effect the slice). Or you could take out wuk/auk and replace it with a generic uk that smugglers make that will work on w/a. I really don't see the point in weaponsmiths/armorsmiths deciding whether or not (or in this case, how well) we slice things. Perhaps we get a specific hydrospanner (with like50 uses instead of10, and its 1use per slice)that we experiment on to make better, with which we implement the contents of the wuk/auk into the weapon/armor.
C: Add Hydrospanner, a smuggler craftable that we can experiment on to get us a +% on all slicing! Experiment will also decide the charges of said hydrospanner, with base being something like 5. For each 10% effectiveness on hydrospanner, +1% result to the slice. No experiment on knives/clamps/wuks/auks/etc.

However I believe that only upgrade kits should affect the slice. After all the only thing the clamps do is to show which wire to cut and the knives only cuts the wire. I do not see how these two things affects the improvements on the weapons.
The only problem is that I lack the skill pts to acquire Survey IV. I guess ill have to pay 20 cr/unit for the good stuff
A smuggler isn't a master craftsman, he's bodge-job, does it because he *thinks* he can tinkerer, make it into an engineer-like class and thats how they will solve the smuggler content problem, they'll remove Smuggler from the name and replace it with Engineer, and I aint no stinking engineer.
