I'm sorry, but this whole Crackdown-thing is a joke.
Rebs are using the Bestine Cantina as an FP paradise. Every Stormie that walks in get's shot within 5 secs.
This whole crackdown idea is missing the point...
Or raise the Stormie's HAM considerably OR forget about the whole thing.
If you want to enforce something, it might be a good idea to crank up the power a little...
So far I see no point at all at having Empire presence in Bestine.
Just so we can shut EVERYONE up about this and their hypothesizing. As an MP on duty (for those who do not know this that is Military Police) you are basically considered a full bird colonel. You have the authority of a colonel. Now military courtesy and custom dictates that an MP would detain said high ranking officer until someone of closer rank were available. But to say that a general walking down the corridor droppiung cocaine behind him and telling you toi mind your own business is completely and totally unsubstantiated by military law.
Having the authortity of a colonel does not mean you can control battle troops from a colonels point of view. That is not within the jurisdiction of an MP. But like I said it is courtesy (lets say you are a sergeant MP) to say sir would please sit and wait until Major so and so is available (in the regards of field grade offciers, major and up.). If said suspect were a lt or captain you do not hesitate to arrest and detain them. If said person were major and up and refused then you can forcibly detain depending on the circumstance. You would get in more trouble letting a coked out general continue along then you will for detaining him/her.
END OF DISCUSSION!
As far as Smuggler's using their skillpoints to obtain 'Smuggling' ability, until the Crackdown they had absolutely NO SMUGGLING ABILITY. Why some are complaining (read whining) about not being the ONLY ones able to avoid scans I can't understand. Before the patch, you had no smuggling use in the SWG world, now you have great value in my mind and in many Smugglers I've seen minds... only the few whiners who need to learn to have some patience ... see how it all plays out ... and then offer Constructive Suggestions to make things better.... the whine is getting old, useless, and downright annoying
I did my 3rd one yesterday and am gonna get trained in it today, but I heard that the way to FS is differnt now... :/

Rather than having really really powerful stormtroopers, I think it'd be cool if they weren't as powerful as they are now, but there were a TON of them. In the films, the stormtroopers seem, well, kind of weak really. They seem to have problems with aim, and their armor seems to be mostly for show. BUT, I'll bet the rebels wouldn't be able to handle twenty five troopers all blazing away at once. They'd get overwhelmed eventually.
