Please help me get this message out. It's unheard of for them to add a second way for people to lose their weapon in game (or armor). They already have condition. It's ridiculous to make us now have a chance to "break" it altogether. No it is not acceptable that I will need to find a smuggler before I can fight again! What do you do if you're in the MIDDLE of a big battle, PvP or not? That's just unheard of.
What they should do INSTEAD is the following:
Do NOT make my weapon "break" to the point of being non-functional.
DO make my weapon "lose the slice" until I get the slice fixed by a Smuggler.
Basically, this means that the better the slice, the higher chance that that slice will "unslice" itself during combat.
Honestly, I think my solution isn't even right, but I have this feeling that they won't take away this whole "weapon breaking" feature.
Look here. The percentage is "very low". Does that mean 1%? 1% means 1 shot out of 100 will break your weapon. How long does it take YOU to fire 100 shots?

By lose you mean go away for a while until it can be fixed and not go away forever and become a useless decoration lose, right? They already have condition. It's ridiculous to make us now have a chance to "break" it altogether. No it is not acceptable that I will need to find a smuggler before I can fight again! So don't get it sliced. Problem solved! What do you do if you're in the MIDDLE of a big battle, PvP or not?I switch to my backup weapon(s). That's just unheard of.

Don't want the pain, don't take the gain. Don't want to be hunted by BH's, don't go jedi. Don't want to have a weapon fail in combat, don't get it sliced. Don't want to get incaped during a spice downer, don't do spice. Don't want to fire a single shot and be nearly incaped, don't use last ditch.

Or you could just do like 90% of the other people inthe galaxy - carry more than 1 weapon.

Your choice not to slice it.

If you don't like the risk, don't carry the reward.
Carry a backup for crying out loud!!!

While I can see why you don't like this idea, I have to entirely disagree with you, not only because I'm a Smuggler who loves the idea of repeat business, but also because balance and feature wise, it really makes sense.
Having your weapons sliced is supposed to be a risk vs. reward thing.. at the moment, even with the scans, it really isn't all that risky for full templated combat characters to use them. This adds that sense of risk for using a higher powereditems in combatand balances it out wonderfully in my view... my view could be wrong however, so I advise you try it out for yourself on TC and give some constructive feedback on what you find there 
.
.....That is of course, when it comes back up..

Im my backpack i carry 3 carbines, 2 rifles, 5 pistols, and a blaster knuckler if i want to slap someone down, if you manage to break them all during a battle then indeed sir you get worlds unluckiest fighter award and a free piece of pie.
