i totally understand why they nerfed slicing, but i'm still quite sad it happened. it still needs to be balanced though to make it somewhat profitable
Yeah - This was basically why I advocated for anyone starting out to take slicing. I only made about 300k with slicing on one character before the nerf, but it's more than enough to fund all my other character's crew skills, and to get two extra rows of inventory, as well as just not having to worry about credits for probably 20 levels.

It's still profitable, and I send my crew members out to do slicing when there's nothing better to do (scavenging and biochem are my other two), but not as no-brainer as it used to be.
