Unfortunately you cannot slice to the crafting cap,or so I've heard. There is "slicing" cap which varies by model, not sure if that is a % of max or what. You might want to check out the smuggler forums.

yep if you take the decimal point off and work out the percent to add to it you should get the slicing cap eg for a t21 to slice 2percent to the craft cap your t21 would have to be 1160.32 but as the decimals are lost once crafted 2percent slicing 1160 will give you 1183 which is the t21 slice cap

however your point is valid as i have only tested this on t21 which is why this thread is version1 and im asking for further testing =]

On the smuggler forums we are tring to make up a list of slice caps to compare against the damage caps.

Yesterday i was slightly miffed at the fact i used an illegal core booster to get an extra 5 damage points on an elite carbine which has a crafted cap of 1063.75 but also unknown to me a slice cap of 1046.

I find it relatively funny now but at the time

I think that with some collaboration with the weaponsmiths and smugglers we could hopefully compile a jointlist of capsto avoid wasting the ever difficult to find high end slicing loots.

the thread can be found at : http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=smuggler&message.id=217898

Nope, a level 3 damage slice will increase the weapon a total of 8% from what it was.

Soho, are you sure about note #2? that seems to go against what other people have been saying about slice caps.... I've not tested myself, anyone know for sure?

i was but now im uncertain everything i sliced before i quit smugler [t21's alr's and a few forgoten pistols] worked as i posted...
now it seems more and more people are finding a second set of caps
it seems extreamly stupid to program a whole set of extra caps when there are good ones already there but hey this is a soe game

stupid question but....are the slice percentages cumulative?

in other words, if you slice a 1000 dmg weapon to level 3, does it do the following? :

level 1 slice [1000*.02=1020]

level 2 slice [1020*.04=1060.80]

level 3 slice [1060.80 *.08=1145.66]

or does it use the original dmg figure (in this case 1000) for each increase?

i know this should be in smuggler forums and ill probably post it there as well....

DL44 XT's - I have sliced a lot of these, they won't slice over 916 damage.

For anybody who is interested, I noticed a brand new slicing caps thread in the smuggler forum.
