Me thinks it will get old fast. IT did for me while i was lvling.





But whats to lvl??? The premis was that master smuggler missions would have caused Vis. It was a Real immersive thing to them. They get mission carry cargo skim a bit if they got caught or Imperial scan they would Either run or Dump thus vis. Was Awsome idea. thats why it was dropped im sure.


On the Imp scan part. What would have been real neat ids if the Pilots who are imperial would actually scan them thus causein vis. Wow Imersion for a few prof. Theres a thought.

I guess all they would have to do is set their bounty for about 20k or more forlvl 70-80 chars

and let lvl80 bhs get bountys for lvl80 smugs. lvl30bhs against lvl30 smugs. (and show the name of the target why would the imps hide the smugs names??) simple as that.

If Smugglers want to get hunted then that means I'm still going for FT Jedi 85%, NPC loot droppers 10% & them Smugglers 5%. The guy above me has a point, Smugglers will never be worth as much as Jedi, & are nowhere near as tough.

Don't worry guy, I'm a Smuggler somewhere. There is no way in Hell that I'm going to die to a BH every single time.

Well... For two years they have been saying, "We're almost ready with your revamp! You guys are going to love it." Then a policy of silence.


Tiggs posted last week (when they finally let her start posting again, apparently) and said that they're putting it off for "long term implementation." In other words, "Sorry! You're still F-d."


They have also said that they have no intentions of putting anyone else on the terminals. I know there was talk of it and it would be FANTASTICO but I doubt they'll do it. Something about "involuntary pvp." Which is crap since it's very easy to make it so Master Smugglers take "veteran" missions" where they can gain visibility.


Once they do give us some freakin' content I'm dropping everything, heading to Dantooine and grinding back my smug stuff.

Why would they hide the names of the Jedi?

Never gonna happen, GRIEF, GRIEF, GRIEF. And I agee with above post, If it happen Smugglers should have a tef also and be able to first strike, or at least prepare. Lot's of smugglers arenot lvl 80, you have smuggler/merchants, smuggler/weaponsmiths, etc. Very unfair advantage. Creates problems for other professions wanting more content in the game. And did I mention, never, never, ever, gonna happen

If they ever fixed all the class's you could put all combat class's on the terms.Make a couple planets safe to pve on and a couple for both,you could have military personal assasinated and hits done for criminals.Or you could just put anyone who goes overt military wise on the terms for vis.

That was a real farce. "No, we're not postponing, we're transfering it to a long term implementation". Hello?! What's the difference between delaying and "moving it to a longterm implementation"?


Last I heard about Smuggler missions a considerable portion of the smuggler community was interested, and the mission system losely designed by Greenmarine would definitely handle an even higher degree of risk missions where you could end up on the terminal. Can't see why they didn't appear to even consider it an option in public, as the system- done right - would not have forced merchant smugglers away from the profession, while adding a completely new layer of risk to the proposed smuggling. Oh well. It's on the backb... sorry, "long term implementation schedule" now
