well, a mission where you have to pick up, ship, dock, deliver illegal content while others are shooting at you look pretty like what would have appeared as a minimum of a smuggler content.
The issue has already been brought up with the Devs. There is a 6 some odd page thread in one of the Beta forums where we talked about it with a Dev. They do NOT consider it smuggling, so nothing is going to be done about it.
Is it smuggling? It's borderline. A true Smuggler wouldn't start the mission off by being shot at. A true smuggling mission would involve you trying to not get caught with illegal cargo, and if you do, then it becomes a run and gun. The mission (actually two missions in Privateer last I checked) is a run and gun delivery right from the start. There are other delivery missions in JtL; the only reason people are complaining about these is because the cargo is illegal.
I'm not saying I'm happy about it, but we got their decision on the matter so the only thing we can do is wait for the Smuggler revamp and hope it brings us a better version of smuggling than what is in JtL right now.

I dont think one single mission makes you a smuggler. Driving a car fast wont make you a professional racer. JTL is not the smuggler revamp, there will be many more complex missions like this for smugglers onlylater on. Relax.
Everyone can in theory smuggle goods, just put in your ship and go.But real smugglers know what to smuggle, where toand how much to charge for the services and also whom to work for and whom to not.

I am sure that eventually they will have smuggler only space missions that will require smugglers to run.
I Imagine they will eventually have BH missions in space for rouge NPC ships.
I Imagine they will have mining, salvage operations and eventually an asteroid field to visit ( Like ESB )
everybody just calm down.

One mission versus a whole profession? Come on, lighten up! The mission isn't really a big smuggler thing.. kill these dudes... fly near it, go away. Not very, uhhmmm, smugglish IMO.
well i'm sorry, but it's just not right. So what if it's just one mission? Smugglers have been promised a revamp for over a year now, and here we are, still waiting. One of the most iconic professions in all of the Star Wars universe has been getting the shaft, and now this. It's really only further disappointing and IMO further proves SOE's incompetence since smuggler should have been fixed long ago. Not only is it in dire need of a revamp, but other revamps (i.e. jedi) have actually worsened the profession. (i.e. the auto pull issue)
