OK, so what do these things have to do with one another?

Well, I had a crazy idea.

One of the most promising areas for droid modules is to enhance smuggler abilities - slicing (both in terms of ability to slice and in controlling the slice), evading the imperial scans, assists with mission terminal slicing, etc.

So, why not do this: Have Jabba granted Hutt missions. They could even be smuggler missions - take this contraband from point A to point B to point C, etc.

They payout for the mission would not be revealed until afterwards. It might be credit, experience points, or some item. However, in the loot table would be the schematic for a limited run of smuggler modules for droids, of a random type.

If the missinos spanned different planets, you wouldn't get massive farming of the missions, it would give the loot hunters something to look for, it would make the Hutt faction more like the smugglers that they are, it would add to the roll play aspect of the game...

That would be pretty nifty....Make it give a good payout , but Smugglers get XP for doing those missions specifically!

I like it!

Nice Idea

But woe betide you if you have imagination in this game! It could be, and it should be...we all know it could be..but there's one thing stopping it.

Checkers!!

If our beloved Devs would for once do what they say they want to do and focus on DE there is no practical limit to how much they could improve the game fun-wise..but instead we have a wall of 'checkers' in our way.

btw the game is not 'checkers', thats yank speak lol

Nah, that would be too neat and Droid Engineers don't get any extra checkers. It would imbalance the game afterall.

I REALLY like your idea on Jabba (or other hutts too maybe) issuing Smuggler only missions. Bounty Hunters, have npc, player jedi, and soon player bountys to hunt. Smugglers on the otherhand, dont have anything to smuggle (and its been said a million times). So, by having Jabba give these missions out, like actually having to smuggle contraband past the imperial troopers to someone in Bestine for example, or even a random spawn somewhere would be AWESOME. Plus,it would bring traffic to Jabba's palace.. which would seem to make sense to me. And I dont mean just a few quests either, I mean for Jabba to work like a terminal, and give out totally new missions every time.

....... /sigh sorry I'm dreaming again

Yeah, if you follow my posts, you know that I know all about checkers

However, despite that fact that I don't have a lot of optimism that a dev will ever see this, still wanted to post it
