I would like to see more Ships added to the game that are more fitting a Smuggler (would Also fit crafters and honest traders profile more)


Starwars is known as much for it Ships as it is for the jedi. After all those who saw the movies in the right order on the big screen for the 1st time (EP 4 1st) the first thing that stands out in my mind is the big star destroyer swooping over head.


that being said.

i run a full time Crafter, and i am working on a smuggler.


ALL CRAFTED BY SHIPWRITES. None of this mission reward stuff cutting them outta the loop.


Permanent


Permanentnew Scematics



I would like to see more ships that Fit that role with out nessaceraly being a POB ship. Ships in comparison to the Firespray.


or possably a mini-pob ship meaning (it has guns operated by the pilot. and u can walk around in it, but mass more in line with a y-wing 125k up to maybe 225k mass.


reading the Han solo trilogy, u find that most every smuggler flys a modified freighter or similar ship sometthing that looks the part. fighter are hard to smuggle in , sitting in a cramped cockpit for a few days is fine for the fighter jocks, but a busniess man need some wiggle room.

or fish.


3 or 4 ships that are maybe flyable by all pilot types.

ummm i like your idea but would rather see space and smugglers tied togather some how so that they can actual "smuggle" stuff on their ships in space, now that would be kool and make alot of sense.

I've wanted this for a long time! It's something this game really needs. I mean, would the average person be fling around in a warship?

prehaps these new ships could have a socket for a new item.


a smugglers compartment. that only these certain ships (along with the bigger POB ships) are capable of handling.


and make it so that planet to plant travel with contraband related to the mission can only be transported in a ship with a smuggling compartment. tie it to the mission so that those who maybe bought the stuff spice slice weapons and such can travel how ever. to prevent jo jucie from being able to go to tatooine cause he bought spice from a smuggler.


these missions could have a toggle that prevents simply traveling from one planet to another. perhapes there could be a space pickup or drop off of cargo, and allow the option of jettisoning the cargo in the event of being boarded /inspected by a patrol or pirates. drop the spice and there is a % chance they will leave u alone.

I always thought the Smuggler's Run (the ship from the anniversary painting) should've been added in as a Master Smuggler-only POB ship. I've always wanted to get my hands on that ship.

It would be even cooler to tie it in even deeper to the crafting professions. A rebel weaponsmith (or imp) takes a crafting mission for guns, grenades, etc from a mission terminal but needs a smuggler to get them off-planet and to a certain contact. The weaponsmith gets a monetary (and faction?) reward, the smuggler gets a % of the profits (15-20%?) and smuggling experience.


This could be used for ANY crafting profession.


Provided SOE didn't make the rewards so miniscule that craftsmen wouldn't even bother, of course.


Personally I'd fire up my equipment factory and run a bunch of missile launchers, missiles, chaff packs, etc. for this just for the role-playing factor.
