I'm hoping that this is just a fluke of some sort, but I basically wasted 8 Full suits of armor.. Luckily it wasn't a customers..
Anyway I've had pretty good slices in the past on effectiveness averaging 24-33%, but I sliced 8 of my full suits yesterday & today, butonly had 6 pieces hit for over 25% Base.. 38 pieces were encumbrance slices (20-32%, 3 hit for over 32%), 18 were 12-18% Base and the last 10 were18-24% Base..
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this type of % decrease.
Thanks

Anyone else want to tell him what the Smuggler's Mantra is? Oh well, then I shall do it....
"Slicing is random, but VERY STREAKY"

Yeah the randomness sucks, This poor guy (and i mean poor as in credit wise) asked if i could just do his chestplate cuz he couldnt afford the rest of the suit (it was grindworthy composite so I knew the guy was really poor) and I told him 5k and he said "oh dont worry I cant afford that much atm but if you still here after this mission can I get it sliced."
So being the nice smuggler I am I /winked and said just pass me what you can spare and forget about the rest, He asked if 2k was good and I say yeah cool. So I slice and get 13% effectiveness!!! I quickly /emote hangs head in shame and told him not to worry about the 2k.
What was worse is the guy behind him got a 33% damage on his weapon less then 15 seconds later.

I noticed that too, the random curve just went down, it'll come back up...

Yes... I noticed the %age decrease since I stopped slicing using 100% AUKS while standing on my head and juggling. Oh and pop a Moun before you slice. It helps the BLOOD from flowing to your head!
SLICING IS RANDOM!

I've posted this before: 
Ahhh Slicing....
This brings up one of my favorite Dilbert comics.....
Accountant: "Over here we have our random number generator."
RNG: "Nine Nine Nine Nine Nine Nine"
Dilbert: "Are you sure that's random?"
Accountant: "That's the problem with randomness. You can never be sure."
That should explain smugglers slicing to anyone!
