Hello,
I´m curious if my experience has just been bad luck or coincidence
I´ve made another big slap of krayt enhanced ranged weaponsconsisting of 7 Carbines and3 Pistols, every single one received a speed slice ranging between 18-32%
Somebody else notice a huge increase in speed slices when using enhanced components in weapons?

this is my theory that i use.... what the system does is compare the spd of the wpn to a given average spd, and the max dmg to a given dmg... if it has high spd it will be more likely to get a spd slice. low dmg, more likely to get a dmg slice...

Yeah, I tend to have horrible luck when it comes to getting good slices on my enhanced weapons too. I'm still reeling from getting 4 out of 4 speed slices on some of the best scyths I have ever seen.

I just got 3/5 Damage slices on my Nym's VKs not bad.
And a 31% Damage on a DE-10 though I do have horrible luck when getting my yellow cubed and pasted Scythes

I've been having pretty good luck getting damage slices on my enhanced weapons lately. I made three Nym VK's a few days ago, all three got damage slices, best one was 33% (224 max damage now).
The last scythe I made (yellow cubes & pastes) I sliced for 35% damage, love those perfect slices!

Sorry I wasnt really clear with my question.
I´m refering to Krayt enhanced special weapons, rifles, pistols and carbines.
The Ratio seems to be more around 80-90% speed slices and 20-10% damage slices.
Other enhanced weapons with bones, motors, cubes and agents dont seem to have the same slicing characteristics.

well, I'm not that wealthy so I haven't got my hands on many tissues, but out of the 3 weapons I've made with tissues 2 got damage slice and 1 got speed slice. The weapons were 1 scatter and 2 flamers. The good thing is that the scatter got a 34% damage one. With the flamers it isn't that big of a problem if you get a speed slice or a damage slice, as long as they are good.
But, with my experience with spider fangs, every single weapon I've made with them got a speed slice. So, I believe its more of a firearms problem.

Given that Carbineers (for the most part) start a fair distance from being Speed-capped, a Speed-sliced Carbine is *better* for a Carbineer than a Damage-sliced one.
+30% DPS is +30% DPS, regardless of whether its the speed that got improved, or the damage.
Carbineers focus more on specials/state-attacks than other professions, so being able to fire them off faster is A Good Thing (tm).

Slicing is random. Sometimes you get bad luck but overall its random. The devs dont have time to put in some special formula and extra code to make slicing act a certain way. They just make it random.

Slicing is a bell curve, most slices falling around 25%. With small amounts around the 15% and 35% range. And speed/damage is 50/50.
There's a smuggler that posted his stats from 2000 slices or something like that. It's a good read. Check it out.

Still it seems that Krayt weapons get around 80% speed slices and 20% damage slices. Hard to test it of course, but most Weaponsmiths on Bria agree with this. I'll only believe that slicing is random when I see the equation used in the code of SWG, but I guess they'll never let us know that.
