I'm on my second go around with smuggler and I had a thought about slicing...
To be honest, I like it. It makes me feel like I'm doing something... illegal while improving a piece of hardware or jacking into a mission term.
As a thought, I honestly think we (let's say as master smuggler) should get to pick what kind of slice we want. Seriously, at master would you not know your trade well enough. Plus how many of us end up getting quite a bit of hate thrown our way for speed slicing an uber stun baton or something of that nature? Lots. I think it's time we got to choose.... at least for weapons anyway.
The real thought I wanted to voice was concerning a third option when slicing... Condition. Why not give us a shot at improving the condition? I mean some of those weapons can burn out pretty fast but if they gave us higher percentages on improving condition, I think that would be extremely usefull. Armour/PSGs/weapons/anything with an electronic element to it. Could you imagine a hotwired swoop? A faster swoop? A longer lasting swoop?
I know it's a rough idea but if we could slice vehicles, and even droids (if they ever decay or needed more attack effectivess), that would expand our market a lot. Plus the additional option of increasing the ceiling of condition values really apeals to me. I don't know what the number could be, maybe even 100%? A 1000 condition reaching 2000 condition uber pistol would be a slice I'd pay for. I would think of this sort of slice as not necessarily increasing condition as much as increasing resistance to wear and tear.
So I'm not sure how realistic it is but I guess if I had my way I'd ask for: - much more stuff to slice (electronics/digital equip), - Slicing condition values, - and finally the option of WHAT to slice at master.
I've read a lot of the posts on revamp thoughts, but they get so bloody long so quickly, I admit I may have missed some of my own points being old hat for ideas, and for that I'll apologize in advance.
Any thoughts?

Well, ORIGINALLY , and we all know how much that Means around here , Slicing was supposed to REDUCE Condition. You are after all hotwir ing something to output more power per second. Also, we've asked for "pick your own" slices. It's in our list of demands
