Someone started another thread like this last week.
Personally, I'm against this idea. Not because I really care about the imp crackdown, but mostly because of all the misconceptions by the general public about slicing. It'll just make it easier for all the dishonest smugglers out there to keep their customers in the dark. Plus, it just doesn't "seem right". I mean drug smugglers don't brand their narcotics with labels like "This pound of weed was grown and sold by Manuel Pablo Valdez." It's ilegal. Anonyminity is one of our only defenses. And since the term "smuggler visibilty" has been used quite often when discussing changes for the smuggler revamp, I don't think that tagging your slice would fit in with many of the concepts being pushed around.

Might also start getting me even more tells- people would see my name on ShoWaba brand weapons they buy and want me to slice other stuff when I'm in the middle of the DWB or hunting imps.

It would be a good idea if it was optional . Like if I got a 35% damage slice ona gun , I think I would want to slap my name on there .

I'm going to go for the immersiveness/RP factor here. I would personally not like to see my name plastered on the side of a weapon that I had ILLEGALLY modified.

The best advertisement is word of mouth. Good customer service will bring your customers back time and time again.

Funny you should say that Caylin...considering I have a Krayt Scout blaster with your name in the "Creator" field...

I wouldn't really like having your name on the the weapon you sliced but some people might want to be the red baron's of the smuggling world

Honestly...if they were going to add any info as far as the "sliced" tag, I'd much rather have it tell what it was sliced for -- speed/damage, effect/encumb -- and what percentage it was sliced for. Who did the work isn't really an issue...

Caylin,
Have you noticed that some of this is happening? I have seen many items that I have sliced for myself and for others get changed. In the Creators Name park it will say my name after I slice it. Not sure if this is intended or a bug.

Did you take those weapons out of crates? That's what happened to me.
That's why Dreven has a gun that was supposedly made by me. A weaponsmith friend of mine would hand me about 50 crates of weapons (I kid you not) and I would slice all day. When he was one of the most prominant smiths on my server, that made for alot of... interesting... times.

Don't think a visible ID tag on the gun would be very good..
On the other hand I would be personally interested to know what % of sliced equipment out there was done by me.. just kinda of Gee Whiz kinda thing.. maybe that could tie into Infamy.. Being the smuggler with the most Illegal stuff out there could add to your infamy even though its not visible on the weapon itself..

I started this thread as an idea, I'm not saying the weapon should have your ingame name on it just a tag you create..
I can see where having "SnowTigre" plaster over a weapon could bring you unwanted tell's and such.. No my idea was for it to read something Like " This weapon has been sliced by TIGRE, the Slice was 43%encumbrance slice.."
The same as you see a designer tag on an article of clothing..or any other item out there..
