Should slicing terminals make the terminal give higher level missions? Imperials have their bonus with ATST's, creature handlers have their bonus with 3 pets PLUS a droid all called and grouped at once, Bounty hunters can make 100k+ from one mark, Riflemen and Swordsman can damage nightsisters/acklay/krayt/gdk and sell the loot, Teras Kasi, pikemen and fencers can speed destroy lairs, doctors can sell buffs buffpacks, stims etc. the list goes on.
I know we have faction points/perks/slicing/spices but generally not much income is made when priced competitivly, so my question is - Do you think that there should be an advanced terminal slicing skill that can allow us smugglers to take higher end missions?
(note: this is a 0500hrs random thought)

In a word: Yes.
In a sentence: Yes, that'd be great if they don't remove the ATST and CH pet loophole.

You can still make a decent amount of money in the game from simply running missions. Also with all this new loot crap.. some people seem to want to spend tons of money on paintings of stuff.
I have a awsome weaponsmith so I dont have to worry about making money that much... I was still out running some missions the other night for fun and pulled in maybe 25k in like an hour hehe.
I think there will be a slow lowering of prices as people have less money. I have already seen lots of threads in the pistoleer boards asking how to make money.

I make about 100K in an hour running missions; I really like being able to slice and get the higher payout - but the thing about missioning is that speed is the key. The faster youget a mission done, the faster you can get more missions, etc (Really, Captain Obvious? I didn't know that!)
That's why I only take humanoid missions when I go missioning. They don't respawn, so blow away the group around the camp/lair/generator/undefined mechanical object, destroy said object, loot corpses, move on. Doing things this way has made me good money fairly quickly as well as getting good loot over time.

0500 Random thoughts are usually the coolest (or spectacularly dumb - but not in this case

).I remember starting the game waaaaaaaay back when and as green novice marksman pulling missions off the terminal that killed me several times over. I'd love to be able to slice a higher level, get to the mission site and realize "OMG - I can't possibly do this" and then get my paper bag, breathe deeply into it, then settle back, plan my attack and see if I survive.
As it is now, I pull the highest I can, go out, wipe it out, come back, repeat- the real challenge is to see how fast I can do them.

Loophole? I spend 106 skill points to be able to do that, which is basically the only good thing of being a CH. Now your trying to nerf us again?

Hehe yeah as it goes I still never even used it, just know I could. The money is not in hunting mate. Crafting / Slicing / FP's its the way to go and not at your silly cheap prices
You would be amazed at how many people will pay my full asking price, even though I am server known for being expensive.

The solo group fix should have fixed it for everybody.
I'm not trying to get anyone nerfed, I'm pointing out that the fix wasn't complete.
It was deemed as unbalanced for people to be able to make 30k per mission. That should apply to everyone, not everyone but Imps and CHs.
In other words: I'm much more in favor of closing the existing loopholes (that's what they are) than I am of creating new ones.
