Allow re-slicing of weapons *edit* and armor

Allow re-slicing of weapons *edit* and armor
This idea/suggestion has been flagged as Implemented so it has (or will be) implemented into the game in some capacity. More information can be found in the post from the development team.

Not open for further replies.
Proposal
Let us slice weapons and armor that have already been sliced, overwriting the original buff to the weapon/armor.
Justification
This will allow people to continue to use gear that may have been sliced with a less than optimal buff, either by mistake, or changing game environment. We can already rip out an exotic and replace it with another, a slice should be no different. Weapon smiths/armor smiths would not be hurt by this because the weapon/armor will still need to be replaced after it deteriorates. Side bonus to this is more business and need for smugglers.
Motivation
Currently a weapon or armor is essentially bricked if it was sliced in a manner that is no longer useful. This could be caused by a game chance or update, or because you have gained game knowledge and wish to stat yourself differently. Especially with new parts from heroics and a changing combat meta, it would be immensely useful to be able to safely invest your credits into a weapon knowing you can re slice it if needed.
Open weapons and armor up to being re-sliced and save everyone the headache of having to shelve a good weapon/armor because the slice is longer relevant.

I like the idea of a one use item that must be purchased form an NPC to allow this to happen. This creates a credit sink and provides some 'hit' to the pocket for the end user.
 
Or as stated before a player made "un-slice" item. To keep weaponsmits/armorsmiths in loop give the schematic to this item to them.
