Can anyone confirm that High Capacity Scatters with damage greater than 948 are possible?
I realize the crafting cap is set at 948. In fact, I have never been able to exceed that cap.
However, last night I received a tell from someone asking for a slice. I was in the middle of Yavin, and by the time I arrived they had found another Smuggler (too bad, as it turns out). This person asks me if a 980 dmg scatter is any good. I explain that it is impossible to have a 980 dmg scatter, unless it has a powerup. But this person tells me that it has 980 dmg without a powerup!
I ask to see the gun, but the Smuggler had just sliced it for damage. And the damage dropped down to 916! I looked at the gun and recognized the Weaponsmith, so I sent him a tell asking how he made the gun, and was it really 980 damage.
He tells me that he used power cells, had a WS buff, used all post-CU subcomponents, experimented on action then damage, and is an 11 point WS (I assume with no FS).I forgot to ask if he had taken any food. He hadn't crafted weapons in a long time, and he didn't even know there was a "damage cap" on weapons. But he did say, yes, the damage was 980.
There is no reason either player would lie to me...if I were thinking, I would have asked the smuggler (who sliced a weapon for damage even though it was over the slicing cap, ARRRRGGG!)....but I didn't. I'll check my log tonight and send him a tell, to see if he can confirm the damage.
The owner of the gun wrote a problem ticket, which I doubt will be addressed.
However, my question is, any other WS seeing High Capacity Scatters crafted over the damage cap?

Maybe its possible they are telling the truth.. I have seen a few posts here an there about people saying their dmg is getting changed when a powerup is taken off. One post said he had XXX dmg and when he took his powerup it was lower than when he originally put the powerup on it. Maybe there's some type of database corruption going on.

ok u have SOMEONE bulls****ting you here....the only way ive seen any scatters with dmg over 948 is if it was pre cu....and NO way an ELEVEN point weaponsmith can craft something that nice.....i wonder why he never posted here on the forums the "secret to getting a weapon above cap"

gun would not have sliced if it was over the slice cap, it was 880 and hit the slice cap of 916. Done this 100's of times..

Bugs are common but that would be two bugs stacking, much less common. Bugged that it went to 980, then bugged that it sliced over the slice cap. I doubt it.

dissimilar to the ALR, there is a large gap between the smuggler slicing cap and the weapon cap for a HC scatter
