I think the easiest(?) would be a underworld faction system. With quests, rank, perks, and loot with smugglers able to have the ability to have both underworld faction as well as our GCW faction.

This would be the best thing to add IMO. The way it could be entered in is via a type of "enclave" as it were, an area that only smugglers can enter into (and can do better Underworld Faction quests, further into this "enclave" as they progress up the Underworld tree) to join the faction

And the underworld enclave could simply be a hidden area in say, Jabba's Palace, Nym's Fortress, the Lucky Despot, or other such place.

Or better yet, in all such places, to cover the three biggest possible Underworld factions - Hutt, Valarian and Nym. Speaking of which - are there any other 'factions' you'd like to see as proper playable factions in some kind of an Underworld revamp?

Two words: Turf wars.

I think the criminal organizations should have territories they vie for, and that the actions of members of the differert syndicates should effect the borders of those territories. Thus, smugglers wouldn't just be moving goods for their own organization, or contracted out to the Alliance or Imperials, they should also be needed to smuggle goods in and out of rival Syndicates' territories.

Changing storylines should effect the relationships between the various Criminal Organizations, much like Cries of Alderaan. If the Hutts and Nym are closely alligned, then perhaps Valarians and others should be trying to interdict their activities. If, during that time, Valarians succeed in one way or another, the bond between Nym and Hutts might break, power might shift.

I'd love to see other neutral players (non-BH or Smuggler Neutrals) have a desire to join some of the crime syndicates. If a group of Valarians has tight control of a section of Naboo, for example, all commerce in that area should pay a "protection fee" to the Valarians, and Valarian alligned Pistoleers, TKMs, etc may go on shake-down missions. (don't know how to create this w/o force PvP, but there must be a way.)

I'd love to see an overlay on the mapscreen that showed how strong each group had a presence in different sections of a planet. How if the Nyms had such a tight control of an area, even the Empire would be forced to deal through Nym alligned players. I'd love to be part of an upstart Valarian gang trying to build a foothold on Lok, expanding territorial control somehow.

I want to work for Nym, have a Rebel player contract me to move merchandise from Nym controled area, pass it off to a Hutt-alligned smuggler (if Hutts and Nyms are tight) and work with him to move those goods through Hutt and Imp turf. But in doing so, we'd both have to declare Over status (Nym and Hutt) and fight or stealth our way around any Valarians. I want to have a meeting of the Five Families on a particular planet and act as consiglieri or something.
