• Entertainers' inspiration buffs increase the amount of FP per credit when buying faction by 10%, so if you're a Smuggler, make sure you butter up all your entertainer friends (and if you've not got any, get some!) and if you're a customer, why not pay for your Smuggler to get a dance, it's worth your while in the long run after all!



• When slicing an item for a customer, always arrange the details first so that you both know what you're getting into, nothing worse than having a deal go sour when half way through you're both arguing over the price, who's supplying the components, or worse yet which slice was ordered!



• Role playing is great fun and as Smuggler is a quintessential part of Star Wars (it's billed as one of the iconic professions after all), why miss the opportunity to have some extra fun with it? Remaining in character while slicing someone's equipment or in the middle of a faction deal can not only result in a better experience for both you and your client, but can spur some kind hearts to give you a big tip, so don't knock it until you've tried it .



• If you haven't done so already, ensure you have a vehicle (preferably a swoop) in your control menu; Blasting concussion shot into some PvP adversaries and then quickly calling/hopping onto your bike and making a speedy get away can be an exhilarating feeling (and potentially be a good way to lure people into traps.. or just get the heck out of dodge ).



• While not a game tip, if you're in the Smuggler forum looking for some help, be sure to check out the Smuggler FAQ and threads linked from the Important Links, Guides and FAQ's for the Smuggler Forum thread, both of which are stickied (remember, the Ctrl + F find feature of your web browser is your friend ). If you don't find what you're looking for in either, be sure to ask in the Smuggler forum (donations of beer and pie are readily accepted there by the way, they may lower the intensity of the cynicism and sarcasm that will likely come your way ).

blah. i hate you.

I'm not saying what has been done to smugglers is completely unethical, I'm saying that every time anything involves the world "smuggle"(including space missions), people get up in arms.

Remember, the GCW revamp has been promised just as long as the smuggler revamp, and we've had just about as many lies there as well.

The reason, I should add, that many Smugglers are 'up in arms' is that we're one of the criminally underdeveloped professions in this game, and have been for TWO YEARS

And the SOE response to us, as community, has been one of lies, deceipt, half-truths and disingenuity, as evidenced here and here
So now, having the 'Community Relations' people show an interest in the b*stard child that is the Smuggler profession, for the sole purpose of filling space that would serve everyone better explaining where in hell this rudderless ship of a game is headed, utterly, utterly makes me want to vomit.

The powers that be will look back in six months and wonder where they threw it away, and this thread will exist as a permanent reminder. It's a monument to underambition and underachievement. No info on the critical issues are being fed back, instead we have TH tell us how to mimic the smuggler handshake...when smuggling doesn't even exist.

You should seriously think about taking a break or a nap or something.

I wouldn't worry about DocSavag, Ganymede.
