Ok, so its partially a bounty hunting story, but it couldn't have been made possible without smuggler skills, and the BH forums scare me:
I had started a hunting party over on Lok, to practice my carbine skill and teach some newer fighters to ropes of things. We get out to the site and begin killing gurks. Blah blah blah. One of the members of the group, that HAD said he was a combat medic when I accepted him, whips out a lightsaber and goes to town. I wasn't quite pleased, as y'all know how I feel about forcers, but I figure what the hell, long as he's useful, and I don't say nothing.
Then, suddenly, when we need the b****** most, he ups and leaves. No word of farewell, no explaintion, he just runs off. The whole group gets mad. But I calm them with the simple words: 'No worries. I'll kill him for it later'
They turn and stare at me. One group member asks 'You're a bounty hunter?'
'Yes' I reply. Lots of the members of the group grin and we finish our hunting. We couldn't go after all the lairs we'd planned because most had to go. On the way back to the starport I even saw the jedi, running around. So I knew he was still on Lok.
I make a quick hop to Kadaara. Only takes a moment to find his mission and grab a bio-sig from a local spynet opp. Then fly back to Lok and toss up a few seekers, which quickly pinpoint the guy. I head his direction.
I get out to where the seekers say he is. He's there with a group slicing through gurks. One even asks if I was to join their group. I smile. I decline. I fire.
Concussion shot doesn't stick when I open with it, so I lose the element of total surprise. He tries to run. I then hit him with Underhanded Shot to lay him on his back and then Panic Shot so he's stuck that way, unable to get up. I cease firing, and calmly walk up to him.
Jedi tells you "Please don't kill me!"
Me, in Spatial "Its not nice to leave a group high and dry like that, without even saying goodbye. It's RUDE."
jedi tells you "Please, please don't kill me!"
Me "Say you're sorry."
Jedi tells you "I'm sorry! I'm very very sorry!"
I then pat him on the head just as the Panic Shot wears off and say "Good jedi"
He gets up and hugs me "Thank you! Thank you! I'll give you the bounty money!"
I shake my head at him. "Didn't come for the money hun, its only 64,000. Came to teach you a lesson. Enjoy your hunting, but in the furture be more careful who you annoy."
I then got on my swoop, and drove back to the starport to find a group to hunt with. I didn't kill him, killing them never teaches them anything. But I so owned him, thanks to being a smuggler.
And another fun time with Panic Shot:
Roleplaying in Eisley, dueling a guy who had come to arrest a friend of a friend. I open with Underhanded Shot followed by Panic Shot, then proceed to /emote rummaging through the guys pockets for the keys to his handcuffs.
Guy ((I'm bugged! I can't get up))
me ((you're not bugged))
Guy [panic shot wears off and he gets up] ((oh wait it was just lag))
me [/underhandedshot /panicshot] Stay down [/emotes tossing keys to my partner]
Guy [stuck on his back as my partner /emotes unlocking the handcuffs on the guy we were helping]
me ((its not a bug, and its not lag. I'm a smuggler. Ph34r me))

I had this in it's own thread but was told to post it here..
It all started yesterday evening. I was sitting in Theed watching people talk to Vader and get smacked down one after another as they insulted the dark lord. Out of nowhere I get a tell that started a conversations like this :
guy : Hey dude. You sell faction?
me : sure do. It's 125 per point.
guy : that's a little too high for me.
me : ok. sorry I couldn't help ya.
So I continue to sit there some more and enjoy the show as I get another tell from the same guy.
guy : Hey. It's me again. Would you come down on your price for me please?
me : can't do it. 125 is as low as I go.
guy : Your a #$#!. I'm going to tell all my friends to grief you.
me : grief me for what. Sitting here minding my own business while you show your maturity?
guy : Your a smuggler. It's your job to sell faction to people.
me : That's where your mistaken. I sell faction to who I want when I want. If you need faction that bad, go in space or to the weapon depot. I'm sure you can get 10k in about 3-4 hours.
guy : (curses, spits, insult after insult)
me : I really hate to add people to my /ignore list but your starting fill up my chat window. There is a couple of smugglers in the cantina that I'm sure would help you.
guy : (more curses and insults)
me : I'll tell you what. I'll sell you some faction points.
guy : you will?
me : yeah. I'll sell them to you for 110 as long as you buy up to 2.5 mil worth.
guy : you still #$@! (continue with the insults)
me : yawn....
The I get the all to funny duel request
me : you don't want to do that.
guy : I will kick your butt all over this place.
I examine him and notice that he is only a level 74 and I decide to warn him again.
me : listen. I'm serious. You don't really want to duel me.
guy : (curses galor followed by death threats and more statements saying he's going to wipe the ground with me)
me : hummmmmm.
I stand up and /bow to him just as I hit my duel hotkey follow my concussion. He's planted there and I look at him.
guy : what are you doing. Fight fair you #$@!.
me : Fair? You have the ability to end duel right now. try it.
guy : I'm going to kick your @$$
By this time my concussion timer is down to about 3 seconds so I pop him with knockdown, critical shot, torso shot and then concussion shot. He's now down to about 1600 health and I haven't been scratched. The whole time I'm getting hate messages filling my screen.
me : You finished yet? You could do more damage if you would worry about dueling me instead of fighting me.
He just continues to try and insult me over and over so while he's typing I pop him again with knockdown, critical, body and then concussion shot again. He was lucky and got off the pistoleer root but unfortunately I could still fire if I wanted to. He was now at about 200 health and his blood was gushing from what little life he had left.
me : are you done yet? we don't have to continue with this path because it only leads to your death.
This guy was amazing. He continued to talk trash all the way up to my last knockdown and critical shot. He layed there on the ground incapped and never stopped trash talking the whole time.
me : I'm leaving now. I'm not going to kill you but I would suggest that you think before you speak next time.
I turn and start to walk off. I didn't /endduel because I knew that he would not give up. And surprisingly, I was correct. He popped me from behind with a knockdown which I stood right up from. He hit me with some shot that did only a small about of damage. I turned and popped him with knockdown and critical shot which incapped him again.
me : I tried to be nice. I told you over and over. Now the I'm not going to be nice any more.
/deathblow
Needless to say, he was very embarrassed with all the people standing around laughing at his dead body and cheering me on. I got more hate tells from him than any of my previous disgruntled clients.
So what else was there to do but /addignore.

This story happened just 20 minutes ago in game.
Guy: /yell Anyone selling imp faction points
Me: I can sell you some, how many do you need?
Guy: Depends on the price. Think I need about 20k.
Me: Well at 100cr/point (which i thought was a pretty good price) that would cost you 2mil.
Guy: I would take them for 1.5 mil.
Me: Unfortunately I would only make a 56k profit from that; or 46k actually
Guy: I got a PA member selling them for 75cr a point so if you cant go down to that price np
Me: Well thats nice for him but he only makes 2cr profit per point
Guy: kk thx though
Serioulsy, if your guild mate is selling faction that low why even ask anywhere else? And if you were told it would cost 2 mil, don't try to say you'll take it for 1.5 mil.

I beat the Jedi Load-Kill Machine yesterday.
Was shuttling around shopping, FS 'cause I was bored, when I accidentally went straight into Coro (aka home of every pissant jedi in the freakin' galaxy it seems) and am so very unsuprised to be under attack when I finish loading in. At this point there are already a couple ppl watching the fight and cheering us on. So I do the true Smuggler thing. Instead of standing and facing an oponent I definatly don't have the attack strength to defeat (I was MCH/MSmuggler) I drop a CC shot and run like mad to the startship terminal!
The best part is, even the Jedi /tells me and says that was just a classic escape.

The other night I was loading into the Correlia starport...finished and promptly had a " challenges you to a duel" message...
Strange I thought...maybe someone clicked on me by accident...
Did a quick /tar .... and low and behold...25m away there was ....nothing....cept some brackets...
Now ...being the swaggering cool smuggler that I am.... I walked...Yes...walked!...over to afore mentioned "nothing but brackets"...and said...
"Your puny jedi mind tricks wont work on me...."Slowly turned and walked away...
I hadnt reached the exit from the landing area before i heard via /tell..
"You just wait...that's going away with the next publish...you wont be able to /target me then...Noob...!"
Had a good chuckle in the cantina shortly afterwards.
p.s. Thanks Wes....forgot bout this place

This new system has allowed this thread to come up with some new stuff.
Was walking around at Coronet and this is what proceeded to take place.
Other guy: Hey can I get a level 3 damage slice on my weapon.
Me: I can do the level 2 damage only since I don't have an Illegal Core Booster
Other guy: I think you are lying and have a booster.
Me: Why would I lie, if I had one I would gladly do the full slice.
Other guy: I just don't think you want to slice my weapon because I am level 54 and not 80.
Me: Why would level matter to me. I will make just as many credits from a Level 1 or a Level 80.
Other guy: You are just being mean to me. All smugglers have all the tools.
Me: No, some are much harder to get than others and from what I have seen and heard The Booster is the rarest one.
Other guy: Just stop bs'ing me and do the full damage slice.
Me: I can't, I told you I don't have a booster.
Another Master Smuggler Walks by.
Other guy to other Smuggler. Can you Level 3 Damage Slice my weapon.
Other Smuggler: I don't have any Illegal Core Boosters.
Me: See told you, they aren't easy to get.
Other guy: I think you are both lying. All smugglers have all the tools.
Me and Other Smuggler: No we don't.
Other guy: Fine I am leaving. I will find a smuggler who will tell me the truth.
Me: There are two of them stading right here.
Other guy just leaves.
They didn't change slicing for the game, they just changed so that we would have more material for this thread
I thinkI need to cry now.....Our Smuggler revamp was done in the Forums
