I'm back from vacation, slitherhorn in hand, ready to Rock.

I stand ready to lobby for new songs, new instruments, new sounds, more content, better gig missions, more user-friendly buff interface, fix to nalargon/ommni targeting issues (and, more generally, emoting with the command-line), gambling in player cantinas, theater fixes, ideas on how to encourage at-the-keyboard play, etc. Before I startany new Top Issues thread, though, I want to talk with Thunderheart and the Musician devs about what they have in mind for us Musicians, whether they want me to poll on any particular issue, etc. TH is a bit under the weather at the moment, but I assume I'll be chatting with him or other devs very soon.

In the meantime, did I miss anything in the music biz? When I log on tonight, will I find a batch of luscious new songs?

Your faithful Correspondent,

NewJedi.

Yeah, we got some new songs...

Aaaaalways look at the daaark side of the force.. uh uh uhuh uhuh uhuh

oh wait, no that was something else...now, now I can hear it...

Hi! My name is.. (what?) My name is.. (who?)
My name is.. {scratches} Mr. Piett
Hi! My name is.. (huh?) My name is.. (what?)
My name is.. {scratches} Mr. Piett

Ahem! Excuse me, can I have the attention of the bridge for a second?

Hi, folks. Do you hate Rebels? ( Yeah, Yeah! )
Wanna see me stick 9 inch vibroblades up their ---
Wanna copy me and get promoted to Admiral? ( Yeah, Yeah! )
Whatch Ozzel exit hyperspace too late and whatch his life get ended? ( Huh? )
My shoes're dead weight, I'm trying to keep my hat on straight
But I can't figure out which Rebel I want to incinerate
And Mr. Vader said " You are in command now, Admiral Piett "
Yeehaw! Ozzel.. why's your face so red? Oh my God! You're dead!
Well since age 18, I've been killin' Rebs
First, I ejected them in to space with the rest of the Debris
Got pissed off and ripped a Jawa's cloak off
And laughed so hard the Jawa ran crying back to his Sandcrawler!
I wasted a whole X-Wing squadron and whatched em blow up
Faster than the Millenium Falcon in HS
Hold Fire! ( We're not going to attack? )
That's what I said you idiot, I have my orders from the Emperor Himself!

Hi! My name is..

oh, no... that's not the new song. Dang... no new songs so far

Welcome back

( the songs are from the net, I haven't been that creative myself yet )

Hello all my fellow smugglers. I have signed back up to SWG tonight.

Why?

I'm not really sure. I keep reading the forums, and I guess I just kind of miss playing my smuggler.

I've also read all the upcoming ideas for the smuggler revamp (and followed the woes of watching it get pushed back, back, back) and that has renewed my interest in the game.

Also, since I've been gone for a few months, I think I'm ready to try making a new character on another server and see how that goes. You know how you invest so much time into one character that you don't want to just stop playing it and make up a new one? Well, the separation from my Smuggler has made me want to try out another type of character. Don't know where or what yet, but I'll figure that out after I go through the tons of patches I have to install now. <grin>

So have I missed much since I've been gone? I know I was starting to charge 4k credits for a slice back in February and people were laughing at me, and now it looks like the norm is 5-6k credits.

How are spices now? Useless because of the Chef revamp, or better because of it?

It does feel good to be back in the community.

So for those who remember me, Hello again!

There are missions in which you "deliver an item while hostiles attack you" in every profession. I still don't consider [Smuggler's Alliance] pilots to be Smugglers, nor 'Smuggling' - at least not any more than Rebel Pilots or Imperial Pilots might sometimes "smuggle", with a lower-case s - JFreeman - 10/6/04

Well, Max.....Let me be the first to welcome you back. I also have recently come back after taking a break last february, and I've found this game to be just as fun as when I first started playing. I think all the time spent grinding and participating actively in the smuggler community must have burned me out a bit. It's real easy to get caught up in all the broken promises and faulty concepts/execution of concepts in SWG. Taking a break allowed me to return with no expectations, and just appreciate the game for what it is.

Star Wars Galaxies is one of the best concepts for a MMORPG ever created. So many of us are passionate fans of Star Wars, while many others simply love the idea of this game. Unfortunately, the game is still in its infant stages, and the devs are still building upon their foundation, trying to give us the game we're all hoping it will evolve into. Ever since launch, there have been endless rants about thousands of topics because all of us see the potential that SWG has to offer. We're always arguing what the game "could be", and we become disappointed when we compare the future with the present state of the game.

Taking a break allowed me to forget about everything that SWG "could be", and allowed me to remember why I bought the game in the first place.

So Max, welcome back. I sincerely hope you find the same renewed sense of enjoyment that I, myself, found upon my return a couple weeks ago.

That being said, here's some stuff to look for as a smuggler.......

Panic shot was slightly nerfed. It still delays your cone of targets for 10 seconds, but now the delay is cancelled upon your first attack. Panic shot is now positioned more as a retreat option than a delay attack, which sets up for LD spamming.

Also, we can now use MSE droids........exploding MSE droids. There's been quite a few interesting applications posted about these little devils, and although their functionality is still not perfected, they've become a handy little item in my line of work. (Selling FP)

As you mentioned, slice prices have slightly increased since you've been gone. My belief is that this is a result of all the widespread doc buffing going on. Docs charge 10-15K for buffs, and it seems that the price point they've set has caused smugglers to take notice. In addition, many smugglers just stopped caring about making slicing their primary source of income, therefore charging more simply allowed them to filter their business easier. I believe the average price today on most servers will typically vary between 4K - 6K per slice. Unfortunately many smuggs still do freebies for sub-20% slices or they do it at a heavily discounted rate, but since you're back, maybe you can help us rectify that little issue.

I suppose the other changes which you may enjoy revolve around some of the new missions in game, such as the Corellian Corvette Mission, the Deathwatch Bunker, and the Geo Caves.

Anyway Max....good to have ya back.

Look forward to seeing some more posts from ya soon.

Hey MaxSteele!! Welcome Back, bro!

It doesnt seem like months you've been gone! If you've been reading the forum, then there's probably not much we need to tell you. I think the Smuggler Revamp will be exciting even if we have to wait for it.

And thanks for the nice comment on my 4.5 months of slicing data thread! I appreciate it.
