Game Mechanics

The ability to slice armor comes with Slicing 3 skill training. When a player slices armor, they may be rewarded with either an encumberance stat enhancement slice or an effectiveness stat enhancement slice to the armor's current stats. Both events have an equal chance of occuring and the slice enhancements improve the armor's stats by a percentage amount. The min and max range of the enhancement increases as the player gains more slicing skill training ranging from 5-30% effectiveness and 15-40% encumberance at slicing 3 to 11-35% effectiveness and 20-45% encumberance at master smuggler. Players must progress through these steps in order to successfully slice armor:

• Click on the armor and select the Slice radial menu
• A Standard Slicing interface will open, and you can use Molecular Clamps or Flow Analyzer FANs
• If the slice is successful then the armor has its encumbrance or effectiveness stat enhanced
• If the slicing attempt fails then the armor will remain as it is however it can never be sliced again.
