Thread: Smuggler Slicing idea I'd like some input

I just wanted to add my two cents. Since I trained up Smuggler for a while, but with the new changes... droped'em.


I dislike ANY components needed for crafting that are droped "loot" only. IMHO this isnt fun for crafters. I wouldnt mind seeing something where you could scrap old weapons for a chance to get one of these components.


I'd actually prefer smuggler tools to be a joint effort by a Master Smuggler and a Master Artisan (maybe even Master Weapon/Armor Smiths for the higher end components).


An example would be:
A Master Artisan could make a "complex wiring harness". A Master Smuggler could "Scrap" an old weapon for a "well used capacitor", and depending on the weapon quality maybe a "pristine capacitor". (names can be substituted for what ever)

The Smuggler would then use those two items and assemble them into a "Simple Tool". Items would be scaled up depending on difficulty.


I actually think a Smuggler should be able to "Scrap" anything to get useful parts for their trade. I would actually like to see some of these "Scrapped" items needed for some other trade skills.







What do you Smuggler vets thing about that?

Allow me to step in for the Uber Jedi here... Do you mean like reverse engineering in shipwright? We reverse engineer weapons to get components used in slicing new weapons? Or do you mean simply mean a smuggler ability to salvage the useful parts of a weapon and those components can slice?

If it is the latter... It can be a good idea, though it would need some definate thought put into it.

I'd like to salvage my non-functional gaming tables for the Catalytic Random-Attribute Paramagnets that those tables use to generate chance. Think of how useful they'd be in that krayt DL44xt, every shot would generate a random damage from zero to the damage cap on a random innocent bystander.


Or the froggie bowlresidentsfor the their Corellian Repto-Amphibian Peckers that we could use to make armor stiffer and longer lasting.


Or maybe the shishas for the leftover Cerebro-Reactive Aqeous Putrescence that we apply to bladed weapons. When a Jedi is hit they instantly start tripping on the idea they are Master Dancers incapable of fighting or healing themselves.


And all of these stack sincethey havethe same acronym.

I think that smugglers should be able "salvage" any weapon and turn it into a slicing kit. The better the weapon the better the kit.

For example, take a 1.73 speed CDEF pistol. You could "slice" the speed component out of it and use it to speed up your DE-10 by a significant amount.

Take a maxed max damage DE-10 (condition almost 0) and "slice" out the damage part and apply it to a DL44XT to boost your damage.

Oh, and what do you ub3r 1337tzer jedi know about smuggling?!?!?!?

Who has a max-damage DE-10 without an ADK on it? *boggles at the idea of a max-damage DE-10 getting to near-zero condition*


That would pretty much spell the end of high-end slices. They're rare enough now, make them come from the highest damage player made weapons and you'll hardly ever see one.

Take away high end slices... They already did that!

Slice cap < crafting cap.

The other way around (cdef speed -> a DE-10), would be more frequent. And take the idea a little farther... You get the speed component from the CDEF, and the damage component from a high SAC high DPS weapon, take the SAC component from a low DPS, low SAC gun, put them topgether into the gun you like for style and you have something better than a crafter could craft using all crafted components.

I like the idea of getting Speed comps from Pistols, Damage from Rifles, and SAC from Carbines. The better the gun the better the comp after Scrapping it.


But how do you guys like the idea of Artisans depending on Smugglers for some items to craft?

Here's my input on thematter at hand:


Save your breath. It'll be put to better use later to blow up your date.




Not meant as an insult... just fact.


Everything said in this thread is pointless. Everything posted in this forum is pointless. We have no say, and there is no point wasting breath - I need the time to adapt to the changes instead.
