Looking at these screen shots I thought how cool it is that you see how resource quality matters crafted products. I've always thought that slicing percentage outcome should depend on the object being modified, but with this new UI change I have a few growing concerns.
For a long while I and I think others have always wanted our products to not be affected by resource quality. Idealy we're not the average resource gatherers. The only thing we would think to go after with good quality would be spice. The tools we have wouldn't necessarily be subject resource quality because we make do with what we have, right? Well seeing the new UI changes I don't think that will be possible anymore. It seems like the developers might have found a way to track quality of resources during crafting and I assume that the quality of the final product might be recorded. Soif it becomes a factor in slicing we can't expect to have our cake and eatit too. Our slicing tools will be subject to resource quality which means we would have to look at choice resources to get the most out our slicing ability.
Of course, I could be projecting very far ahead, but it just got me thinking and I wantedto know what other people thought about it.I apologize if this has been stated already.

if that does come about, we might as well hand in our secret decoder rings... i know Bria is overrun with Harvester farms, and one merchant tent in the middle... you're going to see every one and their uncle, who owns these farms, going smuggler, and then we will have "guaranteed" slices of 30+. because, as we know, the best resources make the best weapons/armor/vehicles/droids/food.
