Would like to add a section in smuggler to have the

ability to slice items for spacecrafts, when JTL goes

live to help increase or reducestats.

Would not want to push the extra penalty for peeps

with sliced or contraband items.If the penalties

became too high, then it could force the issue the

other direction and peeps would not want the

items due to the increased penalties.

You are going to need something that can look at excel spreadsheets to look at this.

If you see something that I've missed outright please let me know and if you feel strongly about changing the priority I could use the feedback. I was pretty easy going on the priority numbering so it's pretty easy for fixes you feel are more important to have been placed lower than you would like.

I tried to condense some of the issues we have in some spots, so fire away if you are wondering where something might be.

Molecular clamps and Flow Analyzer Nodes are able to be used by a novice to the same effect as a Master. There should be certifications for their use.

I agree with this, However I think this should be expanded upon. Seeing as a novice smuggler can slice containers and without clamps or analyzers this is random, a novice could quite possibly go through 20+ containers and faill every one. At 5-6K a container that can get pretty expensive for a novice and take them quite some time to move up to the next slicing level. Maybe add something different for novices that has better odds without the use of clamps or analyzers but still has some challenge.

Also I think the XP returns for slicing should go up according to the slicing level of the smuggler. Example...

Novice Smuggler - Conatiners (or something else) - 150XP

Level 1 Slicing - Terminals - 250XP

Level 2 Slicing - Weapon Slicing (intermediate) - 350XP

Level 3 Slicing - Armor Slicing (intermediate) - 400XP

Level 4 Slicing - Weapon Slicing (advanced) - 500XP

Master Smuggler - Armor Slicing (advanced) - 600XP (I threw this one is as we don't really have any real perks at Master level).

This would also work in well with the issue of making the consequences of slicing or possesing contraband more severe, as people would be less likely to posses sliced/contraband. In any other profession the XP goes up as the level goes up, for Smuggler however it is 250XP regardless of what we are slicing but we can't slice certain things until we get a certain level of slicing, this in itself should constitute a higher XP return for the slicing. In any case this is just my observations and thoughts from a struggling Smuggler on some of the issues.

So when is this spreadsheet going to be submitted to the devs, again? And when it's submitted, are they actually going to work on it or just shrug their shoulders like everything else in the past?
