Im a Smugglers Alliance pilot, and imperial on the ground and i just got 4-4-4-4 and finished the exist quest and the trainer asked to speak to a rebel admiral. Am i forced to?? Why would a rebel speak to a scouttrooper? (I am one) Besides that i hate the rebels, i dont want to work for them.

Only for the Ace missions. After that, you are free and clear to blast both sides as you wish.

that sucks, this is a poor design on SOEs part, if im a freaking smuggler it doesnt mean i support the rebs, smugglered and BHs worked for the empire to. There is SOEs stupidity again in designing crap like this.

Equally so, if you were Rebel and working for the Naboo Security Force, you'd have to attack Rebel units. I believe CorSec has a choice, though.

Yep... the CorSec pilots are TRUE neutral, meaning they can attack or work for EITHER faction.

The Naboo Security Forces are allied with the Imps and the Smuggler's Alliance are allied with the Rebels.

Shoulda read before you joined up!

That's not true.

It is indeed bull that we have to work for the rebels. Me being a Colonel imp freelancer and all.

I just need to correct, I'm of the smuggler's alliance and we can attack tie fighters and x wings. We're true neutrals. I've heard otherwise for the others, but if you're able to do both that's cool.

In this case, however, it is true. While you can attack anyone normally (as she is well aware of from her missed shots during the Jedi Starfighter mission), when you are ready to go Ace, you have to go up against the Imperial Vette as a member of the Smuggler's Alliance. The Imperial counterpart was not offered to her, even when she hunted the guy down and talked to him. You simply cannot choose to take down a Rebel Vette if you're with SA.

Yes, except you're part of Talon Karrde's smugglers alliance, which apparently is supporting the rebels.

When smugglers get skrewed left and right we gotta jump at anything withsmuggler content, but this TOTALLY is wrong to the imperial smuggler, like the fact we support the empire isnt the way we should be playing one. According to SOEs silly design if your a smuggler, you should be a rebel because hon was.

1) Spell check is your friend.

2) Read the books. The Smuggler's Alliance had Rebel leanings throughout the entire Galactic Civil War, and even became the unofficial intelligence network 10 years after the death of Palpatine. Talon Karrde was a major player behind the scenes for the Rebellion...just don't tell Garm Bel Iblis, he'll get mad.

3) Unfortunately, you are seeing smugglers in the wrong light. You are a smuggler first, and an Imperial second...like it or leave it. Smugglers can have leanings and tendencies towards a particular faction, but your job description as a whole puts you outside the bounds of the law...to say that you support the Empire 100% while you are breaking their laws is an oxymoron.

As was stated, if you want to be truly Neutral, go CorSec. The pilot factions are about the only part of Star Wars that SOE got right...RSF supporting the Empire, CorSec out for themselves, and SmugAlliance working behind the scenes for the Rebels.

Really? Perhaps your friend is...er...confused. After reading all the posts here, it certainly sounds like Grand Admiral Decklan won't talk to you if you're SA.
