There is no doubt in my mind that Slicing is broken. All other gathering skills are not, but slicing is. I am currently getting a couple thermal regulators every 50 send outs. At 3k a pc that's 150,000 credits to get 2-4 purple mats. That is clear evidence of Slicing being broken. Things break, I get it...but there needs to be more communication on this subject IMMEDIATELY. I expect an update from a dev on this.
