Hi guys, got a few question. forgive me if its been asked.


1. the space loot items, are they from random spawns? or do I need to take a mission from the space station?


Ive finished all the space missions to become Ace pilot, the only missions I can get now are from the space stations.


2. Same question for the land based loot, I took both missions on LOK for the mercs and hit the random spawns. nothing yet on eather. And the faction Imp, Reb, do they need to be missions or random?


3. If the space loot is from random spawns where over Dantdo you think is a good place to look in that sector? To be honest I haven't seen many random spawns of anything over lev 4, but I don't get up there much anymore.


Thanks The Smuggler comunity has always helpful.

I do so hate the idea of creating another set of crystal caves.... but i have looted both a Finely Crafted Toolset, and a Power Motivator.


Both same spot and both w/ in one hour... and as this is the only report of Finely crafted this place is now gonna suck... so if ya'll find any other drops post em too.


Anywho... details are the Erran Sif bunker (a poi on Talus) The lev's of NPC's there are roughly the 50's but they spawn pretty fast for a solo'r. The drop rates were not reproducable... as i went back and hunted for 2 hours and didn't get any others... But, i'm starting to think we can prolly loot these off of any "pirate'ish" or smuggler'esque npc's and the combat lev will predict which type of toolset you get.

Well, I spent the afternoon on Lok, killing random spawns of mercs and taking missions. I looted about 35k credits, a clear crystal, a decent CA (+4 pistol speed), and a whole bunch of non-special clothing. Slicing components? Not a single one.

I dunno what all the fuss is about..


we'll simply follow this rate schedule and well be fine...


level 1, 2% slice is free

level 2, 4% slice is 1 million

level 3, 7% slice is .. sell everything you own and you might have enough

level 4, 12% slice is .. the GNP of Coruscant


Hell we get one sucker to pay for a 12% level 4 and we can retire....


Thanks but no thanks.. I'll take therandomness andcrafted componentsover this horsesh!t any day. To date my highest pre-19 has been 18%..... and people used to complain about that being a crappy a slice, andI considered myself cursed....now that slice is "Uber"

My guildmate looted a Mandalorin Whatchamajigger and he offered to sell it to me , i told him i dont have that kinda credits... and he hadnt even listed a price yet....


Look let me see if i can understand what the point of this fix was...


Slicing is supposed to be illegal eh? And in order to not have everyone and their dog walking around with sliced supergear, SOE thinks that either the slices need to be random or so bloddy dificult to get that it limits the number of people running around with them?


Ok i have a solution...


Sliced gear searches as per old method, but add this;


All Components can be manufactured.


Crime Time

Level 1 Slice

Ok i have a solution...or at least a start


Keep the actual choosable slices in, make all Components manufactured, and add this to the current search for sliced gear


Posession of: Punishment:

Level 1 Slice Fined 1000 credits each time caught with it

Level 2 Slice Fined 10000 Credits each time caught with it

Level 3 Slice Fined50000 Credits each time caught with it

Level 4 Slice Fined 100000 and confiscation of the item.


Lack of sufficent funds at any of the lesser levels merits confiscation of the offending item.


Running from a search and seizure causes max fine of 100k, insufficent funds causes confiscation.

Attacking a search and seizure officer gets you put on BH terminals at 50k .

Killing a search and seizue officer gets a 100k bounty on you


Now help me out and break this sytem or improve on it and well try to submit it

its not like you HAVE to have your stuff sliced. Its not like your guildies HAVE to have their stuff sliced either. Your guns WILL still work unsliced.. if your lucky, you'll have sliced gear. its no longer everyones right to have sliced gear, and its no longer cheap and easy so get over it.. jeez. the old system was stupid anyway how easy it was to have something sliced so good riddance to that. Now slicing is actually valuable and (edit) NOT just some gimmick that 1337s practice.

i killed mercs and blood razors on lok but only looted +5 general ranged accuracy, which i was very glad to loot.

you DONT have to be Ace to kill t4's and t5's. it helps to have a decent ship though.

i agree- much easier to solo a t5 merc in space than some krayt so I have reason now not to surrender MSW

Of the three uncrated WUKs I had, i scored a power motivator on my first one. Then the other 2 were simple toolkits. Weird luck..

off topic but so is 75% of thread. cant beat em join em..

Remember folks..this system is new and SOE will adjust the drop rates of the various Slicing Loots as it is necessary. Remember the original loot kits? At first they were nearly impossible to get then within 2-4 weeks they were EVERYWHERE! Just gotta be patient

yea and its not like you dont get NOTHING from trying to loot slicing tools. You still get XP, credits, skill tapes, blacksun helms, ship loots, etc. instead..

You can still get duty missions from any trainer in your branch...if privateer all privateer trainers, if imp all imp trainers, if reb all reb trainers.
