We have space flight now with the addition of JTL, and ships can dock with each other (I've had to do it with my TIE Fighter on a few missions already) so y-o-y have thier not been the addition of smuggling missions for space? how hard is it to add in a feature to get a mission from a neutral space station (obviously this only applies to smuggler/pilots) dock with the station to take on your cargo.... fly it to X destination (either a series of waypoints to reach a rendesvous point with a ship or station) and having to fight off pirates or imperial patrols along the way making sure to clear the area of opposition before docking and transferring your cargo?
Am I the only person who sees that the mechanics for this ARE ALREADY IN GAME?!? With a little tweaking make it so that the proper preparations to the cargo mean you may not have to fight off that imperial patrol if you pass thier scans? I for one am saddened that the smuggling community does not yet have this. Ah well we can all hope for you guys.
Sorry sitting at work bored and just had the random thought that it was something they could probably implement with little effort on thier part.
SOE THIS GUY ISNT EVEN A SMUGGLER AND HE TO THINKS SMUGGLING SHOULD BE IN GAME. WHAT IN THE NAME OF MIGHTY JABBA DONT YOU UNDERSTAND.
I mean come on, like he said there are mechanics already in game that can be re worked to provide fun and enjoyable Space and ground smuggling in the game. I figure alot fo folks might jump on the guy and be sarcastic but this just proves that its not only we the smugglers who want this but id say a good 80% of the ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
This isnt a case of ignoring other proffs in favour of our own but just a simple realisation and proof that we arnt cruel and sadistic SOB's that dont want other proffs to get love.
Julio Torres you mentioned Smugglers can look forward to November, well November is here and you have a month to prove us wrong. Prove to us that SOE arnt going to do over the smuggler community again and actualy deliver on the goods this time like a TRUE Smuggler would. You bring this out on time and as expected (space and ground smuggling not ignoring the SPACE smuggling) and all is forgiven. All the lies and delays all the push backs and ignorance, ALL of it FORGIVEN. Except you Hitler, you can burn.
SOE you have done a fine job with Trials of Obi Wan except for a few issues here and there (and if were being trueful there not major issues and can be easily fixed). I think you have realised what needs improving with the game and are setting about fixing the broken proffesions and providing the Galaxy far far away that we all want.
Taran isnt evena Smuggler and i mention that again because it highlights that we arnt the only ones that would benefit from a great Smuggling Update. If you provide missions that allow Smugglers to take a group with them on the mission then suddenly Smugglers are a way for other players to take part in additional content. Just dont make it whereby everyone can smuggle. Only Smugglers should be able to get the missions and converse with the NPC's. Digressing but i need to make these points in case we're lucky enough for you, the devs, to read this.
Please, come on, eneough is enough. Stop the excuses, stop the silence and stop the hostilities towards the Smugglers. You ARE working on something for us i know that much. Whatever it is take into account not only the wants and needs for the Smugglers but the rest of the SWG community as well (but mainly the smugglers 
).
If you plan on being sarcastic, hey i wont say sarcasm isnt funny 
but if anything Tarans post is one of the most important posts to gace this forum lately as it truley shows that Smugglers have been getting a bum deal and now other proffesions and players are realising this and they to are getting behind us.
SOE you have 28 days and counting , dont let us down this time
