um..... armour has always ahd the possibility of a 45% slice on encumberence (not sure about effectiveness though)....


However i do know that the max has always been 35% for both speed and damage on weapons, any higher and its a bug an you should get a csr right away (to cover your ass) or you've been a naughty lil smuggler and exploited....

I know most here have been saying that its impossible to get over 35% slice. But yesterday I got a 41% slice (encumb) on some guy's composite chest piece. I do apologize if this was an exploit. I sure as helldon't know how I did an exploit. I sure have't done over 35% since.


So is it just the 45% or anything over 35% that people don't believe? I'm curious. Cause it happened and I sure didn't do anything differently than I normally do.

ok so I'm no exploiter by any means, but I mean I wanted to see if this worked , so I sliced 200 CDEF pistols, just in case it did work on a good gun I might want to keep it lol . Out of those 200 where I added the powerup after the slicing window was open, I got...................... 0 count em 0 , 45% slices, it never really seemed to make much difference to the DMG either, other than the fact the power up was on. Even when I took it off , it still had the right calculations for the percent up grade....




Just my 2 cents

First, nobody needs to get 45% slices to make a buck ... everyone knows it is random and accepts it


Second, I have told people that I will not use these exploits and to take their business elsewhere if they want to exploit (Because customers have come to me with powerups)


Third, I will use any trick in the book to make more money. I have found that I make a lot more money by being honest and respectful with all customers and not exploiting anything.


Finally, I hope the exploiter gets banned.

I am sorry, but you are mistaken. I have been a Master Smuggler for nearly a year ... no such thing as a slice above 35% (except for Armor ENC)

Hey, wait a second... anyone here knows if the quality of my tools can actually improve the slicing results????????? Cause it happens to me a lot (as a master smuggler) that i get 10some percent slices 6 times in a row and extremly rarely got slices above 30%...


It can be very important so someone pleasetell meif the quality of the clamp/laser knife has anything to do with the results...

so far the only thing proven is that quality of tool doesnt affect the slice (dig for the threads, i cant rememebr them )


so dont worry about it...


personalyl i buy cheap grinding tools and still get a good average of slice results (apart from that damnable 22% speed slice that must show its ugly head EVERY TIME I DO MORE THAN 4 TEMS FOR A PERSON!!! sorry stress )

This thread is like a fractal, it has the same questions and answers repeated over and over and over...


Oh and for what its worth, I've never exceeded the 35% mark either and I've sliced 1000's of weapons.


(Thats my tuppence worth to keep the fractal perpetuating :smileytongue

I slice anywhere from 300-450 items a week, depending on how busy I like to keep myself. The max slice I've ever gotten on a weapon is 35%. Max slice on armor would be a 40% encumbrance slice, just as others have explained. You know how many smugglers I've come across that claim to get 40%+ slices on weapons, that don't use pups in weapons while slicing? Zero.

Once again from the cheap seats: NO, TOOL QUALITY HAS NO PROVEN EFFECT ON SLICE QUALITY. GOOD TOOLS GET BAD SLICES. BAD TOOLS GET GREAT SLICES.


Secondly, Fair, I'm not saying you're lying. I AM saying that you're wrong. Weapons DO NOT GET slices over 35%. I've been doing this just as long as you, if not longer, and I've NEVER heard of anyone getting over 35% on a weapon, unless they were exploiting in some way or another. It's just not possible. And if it IS happening to you, well either you're bugged or exploiting in some way. That simple. People on this forum have been slicing since the first month or week of the game and have NEVER seen a slice on a weapon over 35%. It's not rare, it's technically impossible in the normal system (excluding bugs and exploits).
