ok im a long time weaponsmith and i was startled that someone was able to get a 1.54 base speed pistol

a WS crafted a 1.73 base speed pistol (was an intimidator but thats irrelevent - all pistols cap at 1.73 on craft)

smuggler took it and was able to speed slice PASSED the 1.73 speed cap to 1.52 speed witha 12% slice

the smuggler was a little confused as to how this was possible

the Weapons are on sale on the corby trade forums atm - i just wanted to know

http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=corbantis_trade&message.id=388226

1) is this meant to be possible

2) can every smuggler do this

3) is there some exploit being used here?

AFAIK, nobody's actually reported hitting the speed slice caps yet. We just all assumed that it would be the same or close to the crafting caps since most damage caps are slightly under the craft caps.

That being said... having an uber fast gun that has a mod speed of under 1.2 is kind of a waste if you ask me.

I thought the NGE couldn't be any worse than the CU, but I was wrong.

yeah looks like they missed the speed slice cap...

eg damage slice cap is less than the damage craft cap

but it seems the speed slice cap is significantly faster than the speed craft cap..

however as you said a very fast weapon... is just an action draining machine

Yeah, I have a Featherweight FWG-5 with 1.14 mod speed... and it drains my action so fast that I can't use many specials with it at all.

I ended up buying another one and dropping a full critical on it... that bad boy is fun to use and it doesn't drain my action in 10 seconds flat. I only use the fast one for kiting big game now since I can't use many specials when I'm running around trying to stay alive heh. I did make quick work of the gorax I tried it on though.

Critical slices are fun if you ask me... you can powerup SAC, speed, or damage, but you can't get critical chance food or PUPs.

Capped on damage alot though

I've sliced a FWG5 to 0.87 speed, an Elite Carbine to 1.01 and a T21 to 1.13...now there's NO way it will ever shoot that fast, but with a great WS using the right parts you can slice the speed to ungodly ranges.

It is retarded though...a cap should be a cap.
