Game Mechanics

• Slicing armor increases the effectiveness 5-35% OR it decreases the encumbrance by 5-45%. The more skilled the Slicer, the better return you'll see. (See the average results below)
• Each piece is sliced separately.
• Sliced armor is repairable as normal.
• A sliced weapon is less likely to be repaired successfully (Note: it's condition's rate of decay is not affected).
• If you slice an insured piece of armor, it will need re-insuring.

What happens if you slice a Shield Generator?

It's considered armor, it can lower the HAM cost or increase the effectiveness. This is of arguable value though since a shield generator can get to 0 condition in one fight alone. Also, you can get a HAM reduction slice on a shield generator that has 0 HAM cost to begin with.

                               A walk-through on weapon slicing:(w/Clamps)

1. You will need:

• The weapon
• A laser knife with at least 2 charges
• A Weapon Upgrade Kit (WUK)
• A Molecular Clamp
• A lag and distraction free moment.

2. Open your inventory

3. Click and hold (or right click) the weapon to be sliced, to open the radial menu.

4. Hesitate for a moment, the slice option should appear at the bottom of the menu after 1-2 sec.

5. Click Slice, a slicing dialog will open.

6. Click on "Shunt the power with a molecular clamp." message, ensure it is highlighted and hit enter.

7. READ the dialog box in the slicing window. It will tell you what color the Molecular Clamp lights up.

8. Click on the selection to cut the color wire that the clamp has directed you too. Ensure it is highlighted and hit enter.

9. Click on the remaining wire, ensure it is highlighted and hit enter.

10. The slicing results will now scroll across your screen, and in your system message window.

Same for armor, just substitute a AUK for the WUK. Containers of course require no upgrade kit but are done the same as well.
