I have been sending 2 of my crew out on slicing missions and the returns do seem pathetic, but I do occasionally get the purple mission items. I got a 340 required skill underworld trading mission, and some others and listed them on the TGN at the suggested prices (4500K approx) and they sold in 23 and 26 seconds. Clearly, I should have spent a little more time figuring out what they are actually worth. I obviously undercut the going rate. BTW, people have been freaking out about slicing, but I get good credits from farming while missioning with slicing. I run across a lot of those little boxes in the field that average 250-500 per box (I'm at level 32 and slicing is at 370+ now) as well as those bigger chests that give like 1k along with 2 other items I can sell to a vendor. Yes, I have to be out missioning to get it, but I don't mind, since that's the primary reason for owning the game is to play it right?
