Ok, I've got a cube without a serial number. I have heard that this might allow me to mass produce geno weapons (as in if I make the schematic with the no-serial cube, and then run it through a factory it will take *any* cube). I've had a few Weaponsmiths / ex-weaponsmiths confirm that I can mass produce weapons this way.
I was wondering : Is this a bug exploit that could possibly get me in trouble?
I haven't done it yet 'cause I'm busy with other stuff in-game right now, and I'm unsure if it would be a problem or not

Yes, it can defintately be exploited in the manner you suggested. It's the same problem that occurred with the non-serialed krayt tissue (and we all know how that turned out 
). If you're going to use it, use it on a single craft item, and be rid of it. Otherwise, destroy it, it can only get you into trouble.

so merely *POSSESSING* an item that dropped legally can get me in trouble? That's a load of BS.

No, you would have to use it to be exploiting.
Also, send a PM, board mail to Tauren. He is the dev in charge of exploits. It took them months and months to respond on the forums about the unserialized krayt tissue exploit. Perhaps they will work faster this time?

And to the other poster, I don't think anyone got in trouble for abusing the krayt tissue exploit, at least not that I ever heard about.

i don't know how other people feel about it but i really don't see it as an exploit. Just a rare loot.

This is considered an exploit because, you can make a schematic of something using this cube, and then yo uwill be able to use ANY cube in the factory, and the item will come out with the stats of the non-serial number cube.

Just a FYI, I've already reported this issue to Thunderheart and he's forwarded it to the team. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

Iguess so, considering the exploiting is still going on. I figured it'd be fixed by now, but it's rapidly resurfacing so I brought it up again.

OK, so will this be "safe" : Me keeping the cube as an "oddity" and never using it?

Logix,
Can you find out what the intent of the no-serial # cubes was? That's really the question here. At this point, pretty much everyone that is paying attention is using em. We had a thread earlier asking about this, but nobody offical commented.
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=weaponsmith&message.id=36037
And to the people calling 'exploit'. Rember that huge thread when everyone put the enhanced public blaster in the factory, and a bunch of people were certain it was an 'exploit'? Well the devs came back and said it wasn't an exploit. So don't go assume this is an exploit. It's fair to ask the question though if that was the intent.
Andis comment about getting the same stats is true?No serial # cubes have no stats from what I've heard. Haven't tried anything other than whites though, and whites have no stats.
