Doesn't exactly fill you with confidence regarding SWG communication and reporting structures, does it, lol

True. I mean, it seems as though individual developers are more than willing do stuff that's asked of them in person, but once again it proves that the whole "official" system doesn't work at all.

I'd much prefer a serious, working system of feedback instead of the need for this childish tugging at developers' sleeves...

To be fair, Blix was never responsible for anything smuggler, why would he have read our payed attention to our issues?

If you're still reading Blix, while I think of it, it would be a great help to have the slice radial item eject the power up at the same time. This will get around the whole powerup bug thing.

Thanks for this tidbit, I'm pretty sure even from home I know whats going on. Sounds like there is some raidial stacking going on. Kinda like when you "try" and slice a power upped weapon, it would auto strip the power up, simply because "remove power up" and "slice" shared the same radial tab. I'll have to see what it takes to change this and not break either the biolinking system or the slicing system.

Blixtev, there are also HORRIBLE bugs when you slice a weapon with a powerup on it. If you have a speed powerup on one, and try to slice it for speed, the gun will actually SLOW down after slicing. In many cases, the gun will slow down so much that after the slice and even with a speed powerup on the weapon, the gun will be much slower than the gun was before WITHOUT a speedpowerup on it!!!

Slicing a gun with a damage powerup on it that takes the gun beyond the damage cap will not allow you to slice for damage.

Of course, it only makes sense to remove powerups from a weapon before slicing, but some don't know of these bugs, and extremely finely crafted weapons have been permanently messed up due to the speed powerup bug in particular

Power upped weapons no longer have their PuPs auto stripped and (as Ternque says) weapons sliced with them still on get all kinda of nastyness happening to them.

My 2 credits, Master smugglers should also be able to remove the bio link from a weapon so it can be traded.

if they had wanted that to ever happen, there would be no bio-link

Thanks for posting Blix, it's much appreciated.

I cannotslice items which are bio-linked tomyself at all. A smuggler Guildmate on Bria has the same problem. Same symptoms as other folk - Wes' smuggler issues spreadsheet has all of the details:

Not sure if this is related butour weapons repair kits don't work on Bio-Linked Knuckles of Katarn. Haven't tested this with other Bio-Linked weapons yet.

Having powerups removed from weapons was intentionally added to the game and removed once the CU went love... could you add this again?

I am a master smuggler and I bio-linked my Trando Suppressor, UR-G8 and Katarn Clone Armour on recieving them. I cannot slice any of it. After bio-linking, I cannot silce them.
