First off sorry if this has been posted. I didnt see it in the first page of posts. Second, I am offering this as a temporary way to get back to slicing, but our profession SERIOUSLY needs to be fixed or changed to a novice skill instead of an elite one.

Anyway. An easier way than puling all of the items out of crates manually, is to drag the crate to a toolbar slot. Clicking on it will remove an item even if the crate is in your pack. You could even make a macro to do this if you wanted. It's not a solution by any means but its better than nothin'.

I sent an email to a few smugglers I know in game explaining this more in depth so... heres the rough copy of the emails.

The new publish has nerfed us slicing... we now have to manually pull all of our slicing tools from the crate instead of slicing automatically doing so.

An easy way to change this, choose 4 empty spots on a toolbarpane. I used toolbar pane 6. Place your crates of Molecular clamps, AUK's WUK's and PLK's in the 4 empty slots. I used toolbarSlots f1, f2, f3, and f4.

I put MC's in F1, AUK's in F2, WUK's in F3, and PLK's in F4

Now you can set up an alias...

/alias auk /ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/ui action toolbarSlot01
/alias wuk /ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/ui action toolbarSlot02
/alias plk /ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot03

This way, when you type /auk it will spit out one MC and one AUK instantly... you can even put the crates in your backpack and not have to worry about opening your backpack and manually clickin the crates.

I made a macro that will take out 5 AUK's and 5 MC's plus a PLK in one click.

The following macro is a macro I titled auk.

/ui action toolbarPane05;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;

With the macro above, I can type /macro auk or drag the macro icon to my toolbar and just click it or hit the appropriate fkey and it will activate the macro.

The following macro I titled wuk

/ui action toolbarPane05;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;


With the macro above I can type /macro wuk or click the appropriate macro button and deliver 5 wuk's, mc's and one plk.

This is a GREAT aid for bulk slicing... every five items I can type /macro wuk or click the button and be set...

Just remember... we got use to slicing a way that was bugged. The "nerf" of the slicing tools being removed automatically is actually a fix for something we all got used to which was broken... Just because the Dev's did this is by no means a reason to leave the profession.

We are smugglers. With the onslaught of fixes and obstacles, we, the smugglers, will always overcome.

Cool. Thanks for the info. This helps even more. I just got Master Smuggler on Corbantis & like it for RP'ing reasons mostly and will stick with it despite it's issues. The best thing I've noticed so far is the commradery among *most other smugglers despite of faction.
