Well, since all the big issues are well covered, I thought I'd distract myself by comming up with my bottom-five little annoyences, in case some bored/kicked-out-of-house-by-wife dev decides to come in on the weekend and run a "quick fix" on some small bugs, like they did for BHs.

Dream small!


# ∞: Lack of Master Box text/description

# ∞-1: Slap-happy LD abuse from cross-prof dabblers - have the stormtrooper give em a state that stops them from using LD or something so we stop getting harassed by Jedi!

# ∞-2: Biolink weapons unslicable. This is just silly.

# ∞-3: Weapons sliced before the slice changes dont display "altered by a smuggler" text! seriously, how hard can this be to fix?

and finally... (drumroll)

# ∞-4: weapons with critical slices dont get crit dmg from successful "+CRITICAL+"!




We now return you to something actually important.

I think you should add pet wookiee sidekicks to the list.


That's something pointless and amusing.

After the next patch, will do. I actually find sidekicks to be a more important issue! Someone has to fly the YT while I blow a hole in the leading edge of Vader's wing!

EDIT: DUMB IDEA OF THE WEEK- How 'bout we do one of these "what quick fixes a dev could do if they were bored on the weekend" every Friday? Just the "simple" stuff.

Yay! Two down! Or at least will be when the current TC goes live.


Anyone have suggestions for replacement "Bottom Five Smuggler Issue" annoyances that might be quick fixes?


Perhaps something regarding this intermittant spice stakcing I'm hearing rumors about?

#4 add realistic anamation for LOW BLOW


#5 slicing mission terminals actualy MAKES THE MISSIONS HARDER, and only give a little extra money, I feel that if the missions are going to be harder (npc missions the npc is 4-5 levels higher than normal, not a big deal unless there BH missions, and the NPC MOB is now 9 levels higher than you are, i was a 78 npc mob was a 87) then the pay should be a LOT higher also otherwise it is ANOTHER usless skill

Nice ones! Unfortunately, unless the animation is already recorded and coded, it would take way too much effort to be a "quickie fix"... but the slicing issue is indeed a problem that might be resolvable with a fast tweak to some code!

Un what? I find that slicing a term gives me about a 33% increase and no increase in the level of the mission.

Wait! I've got an idea...


Another few issues that are "low priority" are:


1. Having all jedi eliminated


2. Smuggling


3. Smuggling


4. Smuggling


5. Smuggling




If you got two out of 5 fixed already, this is worth a shot!
