There are rich missions for t6 underworld trading metals and cloth. I am pretty sure they are missing from slicing and need to be added. I have never seen them. Without rich missions for augments i am not sure how you get a purple augment other than a rare 340 mission. any time i crit on an abundant augment mission I only get blues, never a purple.

i don't think that is the case. I have had 400 skill on all professions since just out of early access and max 10k affection as well and the results have been the same regardless.

I agree. I get a ton of investigation missions and I have only ever gotten 3 rare slicing missions. Compared with im sure 100-150+ rare 340 missions 3 slicing missions is an extremely low rate even accounting for randomness. I think there is definitely a balance issue between the proc rates on different missions. I either vendor the investigation or give them away since nobody wants them and it just wastes a slot on the GTN.

Just like the title says. I would like to see a series of recipes for modable custom speeders for cybertech. Currently, the "custom" speeders are pretty sad. They are just reskins and there really isn't anything custom about them. The epic speeder for lvl 50 is also grossly more expensive (about 5x) to craft than the cooler looking (subjectively) vendor speeder options. Not that many people would want to buy them anyway but these speeders are also BOP while giving no extra benefit to the crafter. Since we already have a modable item system, lets apply that to speeder crafting. There could be a series of recipes for modable speeder body types that then allow you to add various types of mod pieces to the frame to customize the look and color (engine pieces, flaps, controls, etc.). You could also give the mods practical applications like adding resistance to being knocked off the bike by mobs, slight speed increase, overdrive burst, maybe even weapons later on(who knows). it would be cool to have in game swoop races or something like that with hotrod mounts. I think this would be a good way to add some actual customization to mounts and give cybertech something more to offer people on the GTN.

I would say if you have gotten one purple so far you are very lucky. I am working on the lvl 49 earpieces also and have now done around 100 without hitting a single purple schematic. For variation I am working off of 3 different blue patterns and still no luck. Is there any information on whether REing a crit version of the blue improves your chances of getting the purple schematic?
