Thread: Another rant re. Slicing: randomness, slice results, menu, knives and that annoying colour box!

There are a few things that I would like to see made to the way in which slicing works:
1. Allow us to choose what we can change.
I'm in favour of keeping slicing somewhat random with the result, butat least allow us to choose what's being changed.
2. Automate updating the customer of the slice result
Can we please have a message that tells the owner of the sliced equipment what the result was? I am tired of having to type upthis sort of information when it could easily be automated.
Something like a group message displaying the result (needing to be grouped with the player), or a tell to the player that is targetted.
3. Re-vamp the menu system
When I'm tired or busy, it's too easy to select the wrong wire to cut as the lines are close to each other. Use colour/symbol code onthe result and seperate the options a bit more so it's more difficult to inadvertently cut the wrong wire.
4. Laser Knives in factory crates only giving 1 use out of 10
Can we please have this rectified? Maybe the factory crate should say 250 as opposed to 25, or have them pop out of the crate. Either that, or don't allow knives in crates be used. Say something like "You do not have any knives available to cut"
5. Remove the change colour box popping-up when slicing composite armour
There is no need for this. If the player wants to change the colour, they will doit themselves. I don't want to have to be closing extra boxes that I'm not concerned with.
Well... I feel better now I got that off my chest
