its late so don't flame me too much but was thinking about how slicing is one sided for smugglers. I mean we slice something and thats it until the item completely decays and a new item is bought we don't see a customer again.
Anyway what i was thinking what if slicing had some kinda time limit on it where after so much use the slice wore off and the item needed to be resliced. similar to decay, right now when we slice something it loses condition. I was thinking instead of the itme losing condition right away a % of the condition is the life of the slice.
Example pistol with 1000 condition is sliced. Say a slice last for 10% of the condition of the weapon. When the pistol reaches 900 condition it loses its slice. Now I konw that the condition of the item is based of current conditon and total condition , so the slice only last for current condition not the total.
What do you think , would this be a good change to slicing or bad?
please keep the flame down to a minimum. I'm really tired and going to bed now so excuse any misspellings or errors in general

The idea has been explorer to a certain extent in the past.
Some pitfalls:
People won't get slices because theres a good chance for speed slices. Instead they will use powerups...
Your idea is essentially just that... a long lasting powerup.
10% of a weapon for alot of us can be burnt in under an hour... I'd hate to have my 460 laser carbine go back to 370 halfway through the night. That would piss me off more then anything... Specifically since I have an anti-decay kit on it.

and there's a possible exploit here...
let's say u get that damage slice above 30% u wanted on your uber-krayted rifle. just apply an anti-decay kit and poof, u got the old system... plus: u can wait with adding the anti-decay-kit untill u get a nice dmg slice...

If people wanna remove the slice, all they gotta do is use the item a little bit, then get it repaired, so that it drops to below slice cut off line. Then do like the guy said before me and add the Anti-Decay kit when they get the slice they want.

hmmm ok I see the errors in the idea , but isn't a slice a powerup already just one that last the life of the weapon and as for as anit decay kit I wouldn't call it an exploit since only a few will ever be in the game and used on certain weapons.
The 10% was just a example I would rather it be more just don't know how much more.
Oh well thanks for the input
