Can a non-armorsmith use a schematic to create an upgrade kit? If so, does it have to be in a factory? To use a factory, does that mean u have to own the factory?


I would like to be able to slice armor, while generating the materials myself (like the upgrade kit).


(I do have artisan skills, just not armorsmith.)


thanks,

Schematics can only be used in factories. And with the admin rights not working on factories as they should you do have to own the factory to use it.

Anyone can use a schematic. The only way to transfer them at this point is through vendor's though. Have someone with a vendor make your Schematic, then offer it on the vendor. You can then buy it, and it will go into your datapad.

Can someone tell me if this actually works properly or not? I have sliced a bunch of pieces of chitin now and rarely do I see a change in the stats of the armor. Normally I do see the changes if its effecting the efficiency, ie ham costs, however when it increases the effects of the armor I almost always see nothing different in the stats from before and after.

The reason why you don't see a change to the overall effectiveness of the armor is because the armor stats don't show tenths of a percent.


If the overall effectiveness is 4%, and you do a 25% slice... 25% of 4% is a whopping .01% increase.


If the overall effectiveness is 15, and you do the same 25% slice, 25% of 15% is a whole .0375% increase.


The issue is, you're multiplying a percent by a percent, not a whole number. That's why you'll see the HAM costs get affected since they're a whole number, but not the overall effectiveness percentages.

There are missions in which you "deliver an item while hostiles attack you" in every profession.

Actually, a 25% increase of 4% effectiveness becomes 5% effectiveness ((4x0.25)+4)


A 25% increase on 15% effectiveness becomes 18.75% effectiveness, I dunno if this is rounded up or down.



And now that youve mentioned it, ive not tried looking at the armour if the effectiveness is increased, all I know is that encumbrance is definately lowered since ive been able to wear armour that I couldnt wear at one point. Ive yet to check the effectiveness increase.... ill have to keep an eye out.

Anyone having problem now with armor slicing,


I created a suit of armor then i tired to slice it it says 9% base for the whole suit, but the stats dont change and the hinderances stay the same, but the item says it has been sliced, is this a display glitch or what. i tried relogging trading and many other things to see if it would come around,


any ideas,


And whats the new max, it seems all my armor is being sliced at 9% and i am a master smuggler

Slicing is broke. Period. Armor and weapons. The only thing that you can slice that works right is mission terminals.

Yea? Double check the numbers. The percentages are off. Slicing is broken.

Supposedly, but we were also supposedly getting a revamp almost 2 years ago.

hi all


ok so i had some nice new shiny armor and wanted it slice.


found a master smuggler and paid him to slice it.


got it back and the stats were the same even thou it now said in the description that it had been sliced?


is there a bug that is known about? or was ijust really unlucky to get every piece back with no stats changed?


(9pieces of armor all sliced but the stats the same? pretty sure this is a bud, well i hope it is)



If in doubt pull out a thermal detenator. ;-)
