this new slicing system is BS. breaking weapons? Thats going to kill our profession, who but the most rich hardcore doodz will hand over their 2 million krayt Rifle to a smuggler to slice the heck out of it with the knowledge it will probaly break once a week.

Will do if I could figure out which server he is on.




His profile says he is on chilastra






Yep, Chilastra. And I won't be visiting any smugglers, since my main char IS a smuggler (and has been for well over a year).

Mock me if you want. It's only yourselves this is going to come around and slap in the face.






~shrug~ hey.. if you're too poor to at least have a backup ranged weapon, you should stop the grind, put away the glowstick and, oooh, dare i say it? Try and act like everyone else? example, do missions... hunt, forage, trade, build, do space missions... and stop looking for Teh Ubar weapon... sure, that new whatever-the-weapon-of-choice-is has a great DPS...but can you fire it more than 5 times without losing all your action/mind points? i'll take something that does a decent amount of damage, with a real low SAC, over something that will give me an I Win hit every time...

Not sure what you consider "uber", but I spent a great deal of money and research and hunting time to get the necessary components to craft a very low SAC weapon. I don't even look at DPS. Just max damage and SAC. And for your information, I can fire my weapon indefinitely and never run out of action (tested). So uh, no.


As for "trying to act like everyone else", what the heck are you talking about? Talk about outta left field. I don't expect an "I win" button. But I do expect to get a good quality weapon for the large sum of money it took to purchase. And I DO have a good weapon. And one that I can fire for a loooong time. But this is completely off topic, because I'm looking exclusively at this idea of weapon breakage during combat.

Really? this is facinating information. a 2 million sliced krayt rifle will break once a week? Good to have that info.


just out of curiosity, how did you discover this? Since the decay/repair numbers in the test center are totally hosed at the moment, how did you determine this break rate?


Maybe you should have a F'ING CLUE before you start slamming a system that I'm betting you haven't even tried.

Just for RP reasons alone this idea rocks!


Group hunting down a krayt (yes I know they can be solo'd but soon you will need a group)


some guy : Crap my gun wont work.


smuggler: quick give it to me


* 7 seconds later later*


smuggler : fixed, start firing and the bill is in the mail


It does give it quicka nice risk Vs reward to it considering that if you spent all the time and effort gathering the best resources and loot components to make a low SAC gun with high damage, you all ready have an extremly powerful weapon, adding a slice increase that has no risk would make it "overpowered".


This is just a way to bring it back into balance.

Some of you people are morons, good luck when people tell you to go F yourselfs, they arent giving you a weapon that will end up breaking all the time and i got this information from Tiggs post, She said something like at full 100% customzation things will usually break once a week.

I thought that I read it will break once every FEW weeks. That means it will break once a month. Carry a backup. No big deal.

Stop crying. Tiggs said that a 100% modified weapon will break once every few weeks, which is almost once a month.


Secondly, if you want to be blowing people away with no SAC cost, fine. If you want the added benefit of a slice, then you, sir, need to learn to deal with the DANGERS that go along with ILLEGALLY modifying your weaponry.


Just GROW UP and take this one in the crotch. You might even enjoy it.

All who say its good for RP are wrong. Did you see Han carry 5 guns with him ? "/shout you silly storm troopers wait my pistol broke, got to get another one !!!". And how many smuggler do you see running around with tools on them ? I might see a smuggler once a week. Also most of the players that play regulary use a sinlge weapon that they invested in and breaking will piss many of them off.
