Finally, some constructive posts on the so called "nerf"

Remember fellow agents of the Underworld.

This was a "FIX" not a "CHANGE". We were never supposed to be able to auto-pull.

But, now that they have corrected this mistake. Look at all the GREAT ideas coming from it.

Just proves againhow witty we Smugglers are.

O.K., first off it sucks we can't Auto Pull from crates anymore and it needs to be fixed. However, I believe I have found the most efficient way to slice under the new system:

I put all of my crates up on the tool bar, they only problem is they all look the same, so I would suggest grouping each kind of crate in with an open slot between them. When you hit the appropriate key, one item gets pulled out of the crate and lands in your main inventory window regardless of where the crate sits. ex. if a crate is in your backpack, the item pulled will still land in your main inventory. Do not pull any tools until after you trade, this will prevent the shifting from happening. This is how I work the process.

Trade

hit F1 for a clamp

hit F5 for a Knife

hit F7 for an AUK

hit F10 for an WUK

Slice an item

pull a set of tools for the next item

Slice

and so on until done

It is still a little extra work, but much more efficient than sliding around your inventory looking for the right crate.

I sent an email to a few smugglers I know in game explaining this more in depth so... heres the rough copy of the emails.

The new publish has nerfed us slicing... we now have to manually pull all of our slicing tools from the crate instead of slicing automatically doing so.

An easy way to change this, choose 4 empty spots on a toolbarpane. I used toolbar pane 6. Place your crates of Molecular clamps, AUK's WUK's and PLK's in the 4 empty slots. I used toolbarSlots f1, f2, f3, and f4.

I put MC's in F1, AUK's in F2, WUK's in F3, and PLK's in F4

Now you can set up an alias...

/alias auk /ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/ui action toolbarSlot01
/alias wuk /ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/ui action toolbarSlot02
/alias plk /ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot03

This way, when you type /auk it will spit out one MC and one AUK instantly... you can even put the crates in your backpack and not have to worry about opening your backpack and manually clickin the crates.

I made a macro that will take out 5 AUK's and 5 MC's plus a PLK in one click.

The following macro is a macro I titled auk.

/ui action toolbarPane05;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;

With the macro above, I can type /macro auk or drag the macro icon to my toolbar and just click it or hit the appropriate fkey and it will activate the macro.

The following macro I titled wuk

/ui action toolbarPane05;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;


With the macro above I can type /macro wuk or click the appropriate macro button and deliver 5 wuk's, mc's and one plk.

This is a GREAT aid for bulk slicing... every five items I can type /macro wuk or click the button and be set...

Just remember... we got use to slicing a way that was bugged. The "nerf" of the slicing tools being removed automatically is actually a fix for something we all got used to which was broken... Just because the Dev's did this is by no means a reason to leave the profession.

We are smugglers. With the onslaught of fixes and obstacles, we, the smugglers, will always overcome.
