Thread: Help out Thunderheart Poll on Slicing experimentation
B
There is no reason why I should be getting the same slices as the idiots hanging around the starports spamming and using 20% tools when I actually go to the trouble to get good resources and experiment. I'm sorry, but if you want option A, it's most likely because you're lazy. Yay for capitalism.
I guess its time to link the debate thread again because I'm still waiting for someone to explain how it could actually work.
Smuggler: The Debate: Slicing Experimentation
- "Ragnaar the Not Lazy"
I vote for NO experimentation.
Slicing is already random enough. As a Master Smuggler, i can slice a weapon for 13% speed, and in the next moment, slice armor for 45% encumbrance (yes, I am not exaggerating). Experimentation on the tools would just vary it even more.

Reason: Going to B would require better materials, which are typically more expensive if you don't harvest your own, and a larger pain to collect in sufficient quantity even if you do your own mining. However, customers typically aren't willing to pay higher prices than they're used to, so most slicing would end up making less money per attempt.
