So today I sliced up 3 sets of armor... my first armor slices since the CU. I've been a master smuggler since '04 so this isn't a new deal for me. I got base effectiveness slices on each and every piece, and the %'s were the same for each piece in aspecificset (7-8%). My first problem was that the stats were not updated until I relogged, and I loggged back in only to find that now when I equip the armor, I have those ugly 'ol armor hindrance boxes under my health bar. After slicing the armor, my mitigation/hindrance (?)mods (it's foggy right now, I'm talking about the %'s below the resists stats) were decreased dramatically, to the point where I nowhave 3 sets of armor that have worse stats than before I sliced them (however as far as the resists go, they were increased). Pardon my ignorance if this is working as intended, but I figured that by slicing my armor it would turn out better for me in the end. Is this a known problem, or do I now have to chose between resists and those other stats I was talking about- sorry I can't be specific, but I think you know what I'm talking about- when slicing? Any help would be appreciated.

The having to relog sucks, which is why I refuse to slice armor. But ever since the CU, slicing armor has raised protection and also raised hinderances. I've never been able to slice hinderance. Only protection values.

As has been stated since the CURB hit, for better slicing results, wait for the Smuggler revamp, and suggest that any clients lobby for it.

Well it's good to know it's not just me- just kind of mad now that I ruined 3 mil worth of armor 
Kind of sad that we need a revamp to be able to perform one of our most basic functions as a slicer.

Kinda sad how people think a Smuggler's most basic function is slicing, and not Smuggling. :?

Actually, I said that a smuggler's most basic function as a slicer, is, in fact, to slice armor/weapons. Seeing as there is a wholetree in the smuggler profession called Slicing, it would be nice for this to work now and not after a revamp. This is what I was trying to get across.

ya know if these damn crackdowns accually did anything, i might feel like i was accually smuggling... i've been stopped several times by imperial troops and they fail to find anything, sense they have implimented the crackdowns, in the span of several months i have been caught once with illegal goods, the other times they never saw it.
then and only then can webe considered smuggling something.

Hinderances are a side effect of sliced armor..which sucks. But I guess they figure it is a trade off for getting better resists? Not quite sure why...thus why I wont slice armor until the revamp or until they tell us why it is this way. Also the AS's are so close to the caps for armor that slicing it only varies it slightly with a good suit of armor..not worth gaining hinderances to me.
