I'm getting the same problem, I slice ANYONES armor, and it tells me on screen that the armor has increased base effectiveness by **%, but none of the stats on the armor peice change at all, not one bit. the only thing that changes is that it now says: "has been altered by a smuggler...."
I have tried this on Composite, bone, tantel, Ubese, Rebel Recon, Rebel Assault armor... its always the same. I am worried that someone i slice for, will get a Tad upset that his/her One Million Credit suit of armor has been sliced with no result and that it can never be sliced again.
Please fix this issue, Before i get killed out there!

I'm getting irked by this as well. One of my best forms of pre-CU income (outside of flying) was slicing stuff. I even had deals worked out with some WS and AS I know to slice their merch. before it went out onto the vendors. Now I have to turn away all my customers because slicing is currently borked and I'm thinking of turning to fp sales in order to supplement the lost income.

. Armors: factional or regular do not shown any change after slice, just "this item have been sliced blabla ..."
> yesterday severalscout IMP and ubese armor were corrupted with this bug!
. Weapons: slice percentage is no more reliable.
> yesterday I was slicing Alliance Disruptor pistols.
I got a 17% speed then a 20% speed in a row ...
How the DPS of the first one (17%spd)can be greater than the DPS of the second one (20%spd) ?
Please fix those problems ASAP before our customers lynch us ! 
. Containers: it seems to work even if the only one I sliced post-CURB was empty
. Terminals: I did not have a chance to test.
Regards,

I just ran in to this problem too.I was slicing pre-cu composite armor and found the stats weren't changing after the slice. Interestingly if went through the refit process after slicingand told it to convert to composite, which it already was, the stats DID increase. Refitting unsliced armor and then slicingdid not work. The only way I was able able to get the stats to increasewas to slice then refit.
Regarding the DPS being higher on the lower slice: I don't know what's going on there. When I put damage power-ups on some of my guns the DPS rating actually goes down. Might be related.

Slicing terminals still works fine. In fact, it seems to work better than before. 5k missionsgo up to 8k.

The worst part is the general public in SWG has no patience. Was wearing my master tag this weekend and someone came up to me and asked if I could slice some things for him. I told him that slicing seemed to be broken and was trying to explain that even though it might say 15%, it was actually more like 3% when he starts flaming me and leaves. No skin of my nose, was just trying to relay that he might want to wait to slice his stuff until after the kinks have been worked out. Wasn't going to charge him but wanted the disclaimer before I did anything.

I ran into this too, I sliced my set of Kash Battler Armor. Slice said about 8% effectiveness, but the numbers didn't increase, until I logged off. When I came back the next day, all the pieces I sliced now had higher protection on them. It may just be a display bug, but I doubt it.

I've just been telling people that slicing is broken, and I'm not slicing til it's fixed. If they have more to say than "Oh, okay", I generally tell them that either "It's not worth it for X and Y reason", or "If you want me to slice, go tell the Devs to fix Smuggler, and when they do I'll slice."
I'm starting to suspect that maybe they're not fixing this to wean people off of sliced gear in perparation for a bit Smuggler revamp with sliced gear visibility and cool stuff we want to see, but I'm being overly optimistic when I start to believe that, I'm sure.
