Are smugglers able to slice beyond the "crafting" caps on weapons??? I was reading the sticky in the weaponsmith forums on the weapon crafting caps, and it sounded like some smugglers were able to slice beyond the crafting cap. Is this the way it works, is the slicing cap higher than the crafting cap???

the weapons have a cap for their stats.. as far as i know ( i might be wrong tho) the weapons list in the WS forum are the caps.. and we cant slice over the cap.
If anyone knows it better, please correct me.

You can't slice past the weapon caps. So if you look at the max damage listed on the WS forums, that's the highest it will ever be.
Pretty lame huh?
Makes some slices obsolete and/or pointless if you have a weapon made with good krayt tissues.

so will a smuggler get a message saying he/she can't slice above the cap when one tries to do so???? I'm hoping thats how its works........I'd hate to waste a slice on weapon

There's no message until you try and click through the last dialogue, then it says that the slice cannot be applied. No, you won't lose any kits.

if the weapon is already at its damage cap, thenslice speed. If speed is capped, then do damage. i don't know how many BH's come to me with 'capped' hi-end weapons and happily hand over the credits for a 10% critical slice. There's usually some combo that can be done to improve an already elite weapon.

On weapons I have made out of good tissues, they're all pretty much at or sufficiently near the Damage cap so I get those sliced 4xspeed. For quest reward weapons I usually go 1xSpeed 3xDamage and 1xCrit. Those seem to be the combos that work out nicely for me.
