Well I don't have any characters on Ahazi so I have to rely on any Ahazi smugglers playing on TC. I couldn't find an answer to this question in any other thread but then again I did get lost in the bajillion posts that surged about it.
What's the status of pre-published sliced weapons/armor? Is the slate wiped clean for them and we can reslice from scratch, or do they just start off with a base customization level, and if so, what is it?
Thanks.

Well, I'm not a TC-Ahazi smuggler but TC-Prime is running the same code:
Currently the slice option appears on the radial menu but when selected nothing happens, the weapon keeps the old stats but no longer has the "this weapon has been sliced..." message when examined (newly sliced guns show "customisation level XX%")
Has been reported as a bug, hoping for some form of a fix but it seems the intention is old sliced kit cannot be re-sliced.

Crap, thanks. Hopefully it gets fixed tonight or tomorrow so we know for sure. If it isn't, that's going to piss a lot of people off.

The problem with allowing previously sliced items to be sliced again in the new system is that they're effectively getting a "double slice" bonus. And since I'm fairly sure the items don't have their original stats saved anywhere, they can't "undo" the original slice.
I think a decent solution would be to give any pre-sliced items 50 customization points to play with. This ensures the weapon doesn't get extra special treatment due to a full double slice, but also allows it to take some advantage of the new system.
