One thing I have noted missing in this post.. is my rant..
Why should my space fighting abilites be reflected in my ground fighting abilites?
If I am a good enough pilot for Jabba to want me to work for him.. why should I have to "gain his trust" doing ground fighting..
I am a non-combatant. all my skills have no combat abilites.. so basically SOE has determined that only ground combatants can become smuggler pilots??? Yet another fine example of the thought process we live with playing SWG.
/sigh
guess its back to beinga rebel

I agree. You should be able to get some faction points in space as well.

Jabba won't let anyone into his throne room unless he sees there is a reason for them to be there. If you want to fly for Jabba, you have to gain his trust to see him and get missions. This is just the way it is. I don't see any problem with this. If you are a smuggler, you are a combatant (as you need two combat branches to get smuggler and two combatant branches to become a master) so it is not unreasonable for you to have to do some fighting to become a pilot for the smugglers alliance. Anyway, the Jabba missions are easy. Just get a combatant friend to help you out and you will be at Jabba in an hour or so.
I applaud SOE for making gates for people that don't belong in certain areas. For privateers, you can still fight for RSF or CorSec with no gates at all.

You can now take a mission to bypass most of the Jabbas Palace theme park. And anyway, do you really think Jabba would employ a smuggler that couldn't take care of himself? If you wanted to be a ground non-combatent, you could always trying joining the RSF on Naboo.
And, If you really want to become a smuggler, and if you need ground based combat skills to become one of Jabbas henchmen, you could hire a mercenary force to help you. My guild does these jobs for exactlly these reasons, to help fight for those that cannot. I'm sure there are plenty of guilds willing to help you out...
And, socializing has begun!
