Putting my input on this debacle here as well.
I have maxed out Slicing and yes it has been a tremendous way to earn cold hard creds. But this nerf has done enough to bring it to a point that nullifies the whole crew skill.
2035 credit mission returns uncommon lockbox, reward 2365.
95 credit mission returns common lockbox, rewards 96 (yes a ONE cred profit)
If the 2k mission fails, it'll take what, 6 - 7 missions to recoup?
If a 95 cred mission fails, 95 missions to recoup?
Seriously devs, put crap like this through some testing before you shove it on to us. Put YOURSELVES in our shoes!
