Other Publish Notes: Smuggler New Slicing Changes!
The ?cut blue/red wire? element has been removed from weapon and armor slicing.
While slices to weapon and armor will always succeed, each slice will add a small amount of customization points to the sliced object. Any piece of weaponry or armor may have up to a total of 100 points worth of slices. The better a slice is, the more points it adds to the item until it reaches 100 points.
However, the more customizations added to an item (the closer to a complete 100 points), the more prone to sudden breakage during use it becomes. The build up is very slow, but 100% customized items may break once every couple weeks.
These breakages may be fixed only by a smuggler with slicing skill equal to or greater than the weapon's customization level. A broken weapon or armor piece is de-equipped and cannot be used until fixed by a smuggler. Examining the item displays its customization level, its percentage chance of breaking (usually quite small), and whether it is broken or not.
Each item (weapons/armor) will have a set of customization categories. Each category will require a number of slices of increasing value in order to get the full value of the category. These slices must be applied in order. For example, a weapon will have a category called ?Increase Firing Rate? which has a maximum of 4 slices, each of increasing quality. Each of these slices then has a cost and results in an increase in firing rate.
Here is a list of the new slices:
Weapons
Increase Firing Rate
Enhanced Damage
Increased Critical Hit Chance
Armor
Enhanced Resilience
Impact Deflections
Hardening (Crit save chance)
Armor Break Defense
