Enough is enough. A few of our guild were hunting NS and a +12 WS experimentation tape drops. We pass it to our guild weaponsmith who instantly hits 12 experiment points and is good enough to make a crate of T21's for us to say thank you. I get this crate of 406 max damage goodness and proceed to slice.
Out of 25 slices, 10 were damage. Out of those 4 were sub-20%, not one went above 30%. Of the 15 speed slices, no less than FIVE were 32-34%.
I used to be all in favour of randomness, but this is the final straw. I've sliced too many Krayted T21's, Krayted Geo Blasters and Jawas for speed to be able to take this any more. Master Smugglers should not be messing about inside intricate electronics without knowing what it is they're modifying/ruining. When a Krayted T21 is 457 max dam @ 6.2 spd I should NOT be slicing it for 31% speed. I feel like a rank amateur, not someone who's a Master Smuggler because they love it and enjoy slicing for that moment where someone gets the slice they want.
I have no difficulty with a random range, even skew towards lower numbers or bell-curve it, but I'm sick and tired of the so-called randomness on attribute. 10 out of 25 isn't exactly representative, but when this crate of goodies could've been sold by our WS for 30-40k per gun, it's still an unacceptable level of wastage.

It really is like a kick to the nether regions when that happens... my last DE10 slice was a 30% speed. I feel even worse when I know its not what they want and the client is like "Dont worry, its better than before."....
/sigh
I LOVE smuggler and will be one for a while yet... but the master title, it doenst really mean much

Here.here ... I agree now Dev's how hard would it be to give us the choice of what you are going to slice..
give us the choice..
Look at my previous post's on slicing and tell me how hard it would be to incorperate some thing like this..
It is only the section of the program which relates to the Slicing of the weapon's/armour.. and the equipment used in the Slice.. So how hard would it be to do this..How many extra lines of code are need..
Oh I Forgot you will need to look at the experimentation on the Tool's the smuggler need to use..
Damn Better put this in the 2 hard basket..
So sorry no Low their I really Don't Think the Programmer's have the ablity to do this..Unless they can Pull a major Nanna out..
Green.. Just do what you can to Help us.. Can you Please Tell us if they have screwed with the slice template.. or did they really Screw with it and broke it for everyone..
