Smuggler Archive

I am a MBH/MSuggler and I would love to see this happen, but if it does the Smugglers will probably not like it. With the Jedis so powerful now a days, most Bounty Hunters are geared up to the max with the best of everything so that they can hang in there on the Jedi missions. I see a few problems with this idea:

1. most smugglers will not be a match for a fully decked out Bounty Hunter trained up in a templete to hunt Jedis. I switched from MBH/MR/CM4000 which is the most common BH templete and a good one for hunting Jedi to my current and took a big lose in power and abilities. Although I never really pvp, the few jedi missions I took as my old templete, I was able to hang in there a lot longer than I ever would using the new one. Smugglers will get sick of getting killed, as this will be the case a lot more than not.

2. Not to sure what the ratio of smugglers are in the game, but I dont think it is a very populated professions as most people find out they cant smuggle and drop it. They just dont know all the finer points of being a smuggler I guess. This may cause players to be on the terminals a lot and constantly hunted.

3. I will have to figure out how to kill my self for the money, and I dont think I can do that.

My two sense, but I think they dropepd it also

Since BH are designed to be close in power to Jedi, they would have to create some way for smugglers to actually smuggle, or at least somehow "sneak" around so that they could avoid most fights, or else they'd have to make some way for smugglers to try to get away if it did come down to combat. 1 on 1 with smuggler vs. BH wouldn't, and SHOULDN'T be a contest. However, all of that would require a lot of time, effort, and something akin to true content, so I can easily see how that would get dropped off the list of things to do, since fixing the professions doesn't even seem to be high up on that list.

It would be fun to try to sneak by bounty hunters, but if there is no way to smuggle or be sneaky, it would mean insta-death for us. I.e., no fun.

ETA - Two thousand and never.

any ETA on this? I really Like this idea ( i am not a bh nver have been ) maybe with some smuggler missions this would make the Jedi VS Bh more fun with Jedi VS Bh VS Smuggler : )

The only way Smugglers would be on the Bounty Hunter terms would be if it was linked to smuggling missions. For example, failing to complete a smuggling mission would lead to your crime lord employer placing a bounty on your head (just like Han and Jabba).

It would probably be totally voluntary on the Smuggler's part as if you do not do missions you would not be on terms.

After all, it would beridiculously unfair for say a newbie CL 15 novice smuggler to be hunted by a Bounty Hunter who has plenty of experience hunting Jedi.

Therefore, having Smugglers be on BH terms would depend on smuggling missions being added and we all know the likelihood of that.

ETA: Never

And to everyone saying it wouldn't work anyway because Smugglers would get tired of getting killed by the BHs since they're so frickin' uber,check some of the propositions posted in this forum over the past couple of years for intelligent ways to implement a bounty system to enhance real smuggling missions. There are plenty of ways to do it intelligently that would be fun and fair, but it's all a moot point since SOE/LA is done with the smuggling profession.

Sad, but more than likely true...

Although I know it will probably never be implemented I think a good Idea here would be to make the smuggler mission terminal similar to the bher terminal. You can take a lower paying NPC mission that if failed will result in an NPC bher coming after you or you could take a PVP mission with a higher payout and higher difficulty but if you fail you will have a real bher come after you. I think in order for the smuggler missions to work like this however they will need to ad a few more factions to the game.

Why would this happen? I could see it happening with "our suppose revamp.." as a result of FUBARing a smuggler mission or pissing off Jabba. Nice idea though....be nice get a few more speicals

I thought the official word was "Probably not going to happen"
