the fact that the development teams can create and put into action a living, breathing PLANET full of people,objects,animals and missions for every person in the swg universe on ALL servers...yet they don't have any idea on how to implement smuggling missions using the mechanics they have now.


For instance...you want to smuggle? No problem! Change the coding on the mission terminals that are used for delivery, only obtained by SLICING the terminal,increase the payouts depending on your level(similiar to bounty terminals), and there you go. Once a mission is taken, use the Imperial crackdown to try and stop the smuggler from completing their mission. Heck, you may even run into some of the other factions (Jabba,Valarian,etc..) who will try to stop you.


Completion of mission gives you your payout, Underworld XP (cause you may be able to talk your way out), and a new spice.Failure, (failing scans and losing your cargo or death) results in a small xp loss (to prevent jedi griefing)and inability to slice the terminals for 3 days.


Good? Bad? It can't be that hard if the G O D S (Devs) can create an entire UNIVERSE from NOTHING!

After respecing to MBH / Msmuggler from TKM / Smuggler, it astounds me how they found enough time to put those complicated BH missions in the game yet can't find enough time to put some kind of generic smuggling missions in. The game mechanics are all there already... they just need to combine them all.

I thought the NGE couldn't be any worse than the CU, but I was wrong.

I can't believe you all.... do you have any idea how many resources they have dedicated to working on the Lava Saber??? Those things are really complicated and are vital to the game!

I know I sure can't live without one. I don't know how I made it this far without one.

call me nuts but if i did buy the expansion (which i'm not) but if i did i would make it my goal to get my grubby little smuggler hands on any and all lava crystals. Then in auction let people know i have em. If somone asks how much i'll say 1 billion credits. If they say forget that i destroy one. Simple as. Want the crystal.....pay up i destroy em muhahahaha

Yes, they really come in handy at removing those pesky an*l warts and hemmeroids.

First off ^^^Freakin hilarious!!! mwahhahahaha

Second, I don't like the idea of "token" smuggler missions. I may be in the minority here, but we've waited so DAMN long to get 'em, I want something substantial. Otherwise, we're just running high-lvl courier missions (I know I know, we ARE courriers...but you get the idea!) If we accept something like this, then THAT IS IT...

Us: When are you going to give us some REAL content in our missions. All we do is slice term, walk/drive/fly/
Shuttle/etc. to destination, talk to NPC, recieve award. If we're LUCKY(how odd is that?), we're attacked!

Dev's: We "fixed" the smugglers not smuggling "bug". We have moved on. We are only fixing bugs now, remember?
(except for our JEDI expansion heheh)

That doesn't change the fact that the basic mechanics are already there... I've had missions in space where I randomly get jumped by bad guys, I've been searched on the ground for contraband, I've had a shuttle full of stormtroopers drop right beside me when I'm doing rebel missions (that was fun lol). It's all there, they just need to combine them. I doubt it'd be near as hard as coming up with the BH missions had to be.


There needs to be more "end game" things to do other than DWB, Corvette, PvP, Jedi and BH. During this time period there should be a whole lot more smuggling going down then Jedi popping up all over like flowers in the spring.

Yeah, crazy talk indeed. Lucas Arts seems to have forgotten that thebig charactersin the original three movies was Han, Leia, Luke, and Vader, not just Luke and Vader.
