If a rebel is turned overt by an NPC, doesn't that force PvP?

Agreed. Seriously. Why are we necessary again? We get a 95% chance of evasion at master. GOOD. We need a chance to fail. Fine. But Imperials....it doesn't matter if they get caught or not! So you don't need smugglers. Just find an imperial.

Other than that I like the systerm. But prepare for a lot of migration to the Imperial army, and for all smugglers to go rebel or stay neutral. Cuz lord knows the imperials don't need us for smuggling. And neutrals. A faction point hit? Why would that bother them? They're neutrals. And as long as they stay neutrals it'll never matter. So the only people who need smugglers now are rebels. Well, glad I'm a rebel. I chose the right side for the right reasons after all. Who knew I was psychic?

This may have been asked and answered but...

Covert: Covert Rebels will be identified to all surrounding Imperials (Turned Overt)

Does this mean TEF or actually going overt (with the hour delay for going back to covert).

I can't believe the number of people complaining about the lack of penalties for imps vs rebs. The incentive for rebels should be the added excitement of looking over your shoulder. In fact, I bet you see just as many people switching to rebel for the excitement as you see switching to imperial to avoid the shakedowns. Being a rebel just got a bit more fun if things pan out (not enough for me to re-subscribe, but a step in the right direction).

Sounds awesome! Good job.

This is a good question. Slicing will be viewable on the sliced item in publish 7.

Although remember, just having the item on you isn't enough to get caught. They have to make thier scanning rolls...

While I'm glad this was finally answered, the answer itself seems... well dumb.

Devs: "In the imperial crackdown, if you have sliced stuff you could get in big trouble!"
Players: "Uh, how do we tell we have sliced stuff?"
Devs: "Oh, you can't. Oops, our bad. You can just live with it for a month right?"

Anyhow, here's my consistency argument: If I can't tell an item is sliced, and it's in my inventory, then Joe Stormtrooper shouldn't be able to tell either.

I *really* hope you consider a hot-fix just to add the ability to view the 'sliced' status.

Thunderheart,

You all forgot to add in there that using a droid's Item storage module will allow one to get contraband past the scan safely (in most every case that I've heard of on TC).


If you don't have a droid with storage now, folks................go get one.

Respectfully,

So all Imperial's are Smuggler's now. Another profession made pointless by stupid game design.

that sounds great..

cant wait for it to go live
