Smuggler Archive

On Eclipse an ICB is gonna cost ya 2 million. Triggers go for a lot of money (anything between 100k and 1 million).
We can't smuggle, yet we can slice which I think is cool.
But these prices are crazy. There is almost no point in slicing them.
And since the slicing cap is lower than the crafting cap, you might aswell go buy a damage capped gun for 2 million.
I actually think it's great you have to loot the tools to do high level slices (the low level slicing tools should be craftable I think) but can we please have an increased drop rate of the tools so prices become normal again?
My 2 cents. Been said before probably. Don't flame, thnx.

the rarity is part of the point.

the idea here is that while a sliced weapon is nice to have, it's not mandatory like it used to be. the way the devs made it this way was by making slices way less effective and way harder to come by.

only the players that really want to take the plunge will spend millions for an 8% damage improvement. but a player isn't penalized if he can't afford or doesn't want a slice.

now the crafting cap being higher then the slice cap is just d@mned stupid.

While I understand the need to make fully sliced gear uncommon, and the high end components rare; its just stupid to make the things this rare, and only on high-end MObs, with no penalty for carrying such items around...

A better solution would be to have Simple and Finely Crafted Toolkits craftable by players, while the top level components are looted, but not ultra-rare, then making crackdown units more common, a lot tougher(Nothing below level 85), and much more strict.

Because of the rarity and cost of the components, I have stopped slicing except for my guild members. And they get it for free. They also have to provide the high end components. I dont mind useing my own tool kits for them as they appreciate it. But with others, all i get is whining and complaining when I explain the cost of slicing.

I thought I was giving the one guy a break for offering 8%damage and the first level of speed and crit hit chance for 500k so thats what 1 ICB, 3 simple and one or 2 finely crafted kits. But all I got was a tirade on how I was ripping him off. I eventually just told him where to go and stopped wearing my smuggler tag.

And because of jedi's hiding at recruiters cloaked, I refunse to sell FP. Wiht no smuggling, i think I might just drop smuggler and do something else
