well think about what your saying... i mean i know it would liven up the game a bit but, theres a lot of people who use Smuggler as there money maker with a craft proffesion and a lot of pple may have it in there temp to get some cash on the side also, its not a big PvP temp and wouldnt stand a chance and if the Devs did this and even gave the smuggler some better stats then thatsjust going to create a whole new world of problems and complaints, coming from a retired smuggler lets just leave them alone and do there dirty work unharmed its not our problem... hehe blame the stormies who enforce the law
Criminals are our problem. The vast majority ofa bounty hunters work ought to be tracking the murderers, thieves and other associated miscreants. Unless there's been a sudden outbreak of law and order in the galaxy, that is.

But if you were around for awhile you would have seen they wanted us to hunt them. Well the Ones who post in their forums. The issue that worried me was If they used Tactics and there Ability to Fein death that We the BH would ruin it crying Nerf. And Ill be Damned if I would cry for that Seeing how they got hammerd in the past. Becuase of misuse by Jedi and BH.

A small vocal minorityof the smugglers have been asking for this. Not all of them.
It darn well better beavoidable, or there will be heck to pay.
I have a suggestion for making this possiable.
Make a Bounty hunters mission Mark.A smugglers delivery boss for smugglers missions.
conditions;
If Smuggler gets to Mark first and makes the delivery the mark dissappers.
If the Bounty Hunter gets there first and kills the mark the Smugglers mission fails.
If they get there the same time PvP battle can occur or smuggler can drop mission or make a deal with the Bounty Hunter.
If the Smuggler kills a few Bounty Hunters then he gains visability as a scoundrel on the Bounty Hunter Terminals.
with this set up only PvP smugglers would ever making it to the terminals and the PVE ones would not.
Also it would generate a level ofcompetition between Smugglers and Bounty hunters that would make us forget about hunting Jedi.

Well Call me Vocal and Wheres my Free collage fund! Not only do i have a Bh but i have a master smuggler Matter of fact wife has one aswell.
The way I understand it, if and when (it's a big if)smuggling missions are implemented, Smugglers will earn some sort of "underworld points" as a reward for completed missions (along with credits, spices, loot etc).
As Smugglers earn more underworld points they will have access to more dangerous and rewarding missions. Eventually, they mayreach the highest level missions where being placed on the bounty list is a possiblity. However, the high level missions will be flagged as such so every Smuggler has the option to avoid PvP by avoid these missions. So level 15 newbie Novice Smugglers won't be on the terms for experienced Jedi-Hunters, only cl 80 Smugglers who know their way around will be.
I have no idea whether or not Smuggler bountiescould work. Problems that exist are:
1) Bounty Hunters' first strike may totally cripple Smugglers and end the fight before it starts
2) Many Smugglers would get a bigger kick out of running away (we don't care about stuff like honor) then staying and fighting so we'd use something like concussion shot and then make a dash for it. We would get as much of a kick in escaping as we would in winning (and there're almost no way in which we could beat you guys in a fair fight)
So I only see two outcomes for a BH hunting a Smuggler:
1) The BH's first strike simply overwhelms the Smuggler and the fight is over quickly. Smuggler is unhappy
2) The BH doesn't overwhelm the Smuggler and the Smuggler gets conc shot off. BH is paralyzed for 40 secs and the Smuggler gets away. BH is unhappy.
Also, Smugglers who get on the terms will only be there because they want to be there (willing to take on the elite missions that have the drawbacks of bounties). Thus, relatively few Smugglers will have bounties and there will only be a mere handfill of Smuggler bounties compared to the vast Jedi bounty numbers.
Additionally, everything here is based on some "In Concept" ideas the devs have so this whole post is merely hypothetical.
