There's a shock.

"Yay! I get to be Han Solo without spending ANY of the skill points!!"

And people thought that JtL would give us smuggling content...I suppose it did in a really sick fashion...

I was doing one of the Tier 3 missions in the "Smuggler's Alliance" Privateer tree, and one of the NPC ships in their conversation to me addressed me as "Smuggler".

Yes, that's with a CAPITAL S, JFreeman.....

For those of you who are confused, please read my sig following this message.

There are missions in which you "deliver an item while hostiles attack you" in every profession. I still don't consider [Smuggler's Alliance] pilots to be Smugglers, nor 'Smuggling' - at least not any more than Rebel Pilots or Imperial Pilots might sometimes "smuggle", with a lower-case s - JFreeman - 10/6/04

Oh Wes - methinks you have some chewing out to do in the correspondent forum...

I guess when you dock with ships you can get transfered bacta and other types of things(you dont really get it.. its just states a message that you get it.. ie nothing in inventory or anything). This is at least what I have heard.

Ok, first off, my disclaimer: YES. I'm annoyed that smuggler content went into nonsmuggler professions first. I ranted about this in beta, and I've done it here too. So in my mind, Smugglers come first.

But that said, when I first ran that infamous Tier-4 mission (where you smuggle without a shadow of a doubt, regardless of whatever they said in beta), it was so much fun!! Dodging and blasting by flights of TIEs with a hold full of illicit cargo.. perfect. A year ago, THIS was what I wasted skillpoints on Smuggler for! THIS is what I'd always hoped for our prof. Sure, we didn't get it, freelancers did, and we may never get it after all, but smuggling is FINALLY present in SWG. And for that, no matter how bittersweet a victory, I'm thankful.

So I guess that what I'm getting at is that smuggling is now technically possible. Designers and devs need waste no more time pondering "What is smuggling, and what should smuggling missions be like?" They've finally done it, and done it well. Now all they have to do is figure out how to make it profitable, and make the success rate dependent on our skillset. Freelancers may get to do it once or twice, I want to do this for a (virtual) LIVING!

Yeah, I saw that, too.

Poor show, devs.

my god, i KNEW the Smugglers Alliance would create that kind of response but did SOE hear the Smugglers cry's in beta to make the SA a Smuggler only faction ? did they hell. Just another reason in a long list of reasons why imo SOE is using our proffession as a running joke. Just read elsewhere that combat upgrade isnt due till AFTER the Christams period so if any smugglers had any hopes of our revamp being released in Jan forget it.

In the mean time if i see any non smuggler running around coronet claiming hes one of us cause hes doing smuggling missions hes a dead un. I know that every Master and non Master Smuggler here has worked there arse's off to achieve there level in this proffession and its about time we start getting some love.

SOE many of us stated in jtl beta that the SA was gonna annoy some "legit" Smugglers since it appeared to give non smugglers the oppurtunity to feel like a smuggler. This is a proffession we worked hard to attain, was it so difficult to simply make the SA Smuggler only. Maybe it wouldnt have been the final solution for smuggler content but you know what, it would have shown ALOT, like the fact that you listen to your PAYING customers, that you have faith in the proffession YOU created and PIMPED out during the release of SWG and that you still have HOPE in revamping the proffession to a standard that all its players would like to see it achieve.

There is so much potential in this proffession to create some great STAR WARS imersion and content, PLEASE, do not let that go to waste.
