Not a big request, but something we've had since launch...
Could we ask beinclude in the code:
sliceable = yes
This would give smugglers a approximate .065% incentive more to do a little searching and a chance to acquire loot - oppose to those whom use an /afk macro to auto-loot containers deep inside certain "dungeons".
Thanks!
(more to come)

Yeah, when i became a smuggler i would assume you could slice those, but, yeah, they're all broken

i was once told that they could be opened up with a third party program. but i dont' know how true that is. But it makes sense when you walk up to a container and see someone afk by it yet the container is locked. makes you wonder.

Okay, I'm confused? I thought they were borked?

ya really ive been master smuggler for over 10 months now... only reason i keep it ... is b/c smuggler has the bad ass reputation...
and to see NOTHING in the master box... NO special weapons.... and the fact that we cant slice containers?
what happened to the devs talkin about master smuggler only weaps? unarmed moves? more spices? etc?
now theyre saying the smuggler revamp is the YT-1300... but. ... that just sucks...

Its a bug, the containers aren't ment to be sliced open. Once someone loots a container, it stays empty for a little while. After a bit of time has passed, it locks, while it regenerates loot to fill it. They can't be sliced open. Sometimes, the code for these MagSeals gets mixxed with those of locked containers, making them stay locked untill sliced open, but since they can't be sliced, they remain locked untill the server resets.
If you come up to one and it says its locked, you've either arrived while its regenerating loot, which can take a while, or, its bugged, in which case, it can take longer. Sorry.

Nicolas; Que? I didn't get it.
But what I always thought was actually that this was only possible to slice open for Master Smugglers. I haven't tried since I was just a slicer - so maybe I'll just have to try again. I don't trust you guys

Basicly put, Surseance, they're bugged. You can either try camping that container, or moving on.

I just want people to stop asking me if I can slice those containers inside caves.

My experience is that the same containers are locked all the time, even first thing in the morning after the server resets. They can NEVER be opened and always have the message: "The locking mechanism is fused and cannot be opened" or some such drivel. Needless to say, this was one of my first disappointments of being a Smuggler.
