Ok, we've been shunned from the rest of the community, and turned into slice-monkeys... Now, finnaly, we get a system that will let us choose the slice, have a great slice 100% of the time, and all without tools... Do we lower prices? *snicker*giggle*snort* No! We need to jack up the prices so we can all make a buck! Besides, the quality of improvement seems to be very high. I propose for a cross-server set, or guideline for prices. That way we don't all get screwed over because one moron slices for 100 creds per slice, and we all get no business. I'm not saying everyone should do these exact amounts, but use this as a guide to set your prices. And this is by all means open to discussion.

Level 1 Slice: 5k

Level1-2 Slice: 10k

Level1-3 Slice: 15k

Level 1-4 Slice: 20k

Fixing Broken Weapons: 15k (with higher prices for uber weapons)

Fixing Broken Weapons in "Emergency Situations": 75k

To bring it more on par with pre-cu slicing, I'd think the following pricing is more appropriate:

Level 1 Slice: 10k

Level 1-2 Slice: 20k

Level 1-3 Slice: 30k

Level 1-4 Slice: 40k

Fixing Broken Weapons: 25k

Fixing Broken Weapons in "Emergency Situations": slicer's discretion

I wonder if the lack of tool cost needed will cause more argument from the customer base though...it was one of our primary explainations before.

True, but as a counter-point, we never hade any controll over what we sliced and how much of a slice we got. Overall, now that we have controll over what and how much gets sliced, this should be more expensive than ever.

Us smugglers need to make a buck

So can we all agree on this as a base for prices? Not like we can enforce anything, but just use this as a type of guideline for the general range of prices players will find across all glaxies.

I'll stick by that price list. Can't wait to hear the gripes and moans about it but hey, if they dont like it, they can become a smuggler and do it themselves

I don't need the credits and my time is very valuable.

My guess is that I'm going to slice for free for my guildies... all the others will have to pay 100K flat.

Ok, it will also be free for new players(no elite profession badge) when I'm in a good mood.

lets see how it pans on TC first then put something more concrete down. min i will slice in my estimation will be 20k max possibly 50k. Either way i like the look of the pricing and no doubt it will get tweaked
