In Underworld I, we get Language comprehension. Hmmm... Sounds like a really cool unique skill, except for the fact that EVERY SINGLE PERSON OUT THERE KNOWS EVERY SINGLE LANGUAGE ANYWAY!!!
Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to limit non-smugglers to say 2 extra languages? Either that, or make people spend 2 skill points for each additional language they learn.
It would also make for a lot more interactive fun in the galaxy if at least some people did not understand Wookie (wasn't this supposed to be one of the hinderances of the species to make up for all the extra HAM?).
You can also give Smuggler's a Transalator skill, so if you have a Smuggler in your group, everyone automatically understands one another no matter what language they are speaking. This would give Smugglers at least 1 group benefitting ability (even if they are supposed to be loners).

Same here, Smuggler brother. First day on the town, I had "Underworld I" without even asking for it.

Someone on the board said that underworld 1 lets you understand the twilek lekku body language which cannot be taught so that might be useful if the twileks in the room think you have ugly pants on.

With language Comprehension +100 you can now understand Lekku, the Twi'lek thing.

Yep, as of right now thats the only things having +100 language comp seems to provide. Hopefully the Dev Team will add more to that skill mod. A "Smuggler Only" secret language has been suggested. I think that'd be purty kewl.

if you have no other high end combat skills take Dirty Fighting first, it will help your pistol fighting , which in turn will help you earn more pistol xp.

What is the point really, whenver I start a new character, I ask the first person I see to teach em every language.
how bout a Smuggler only language heh, that way we could yell about how much we hate the special idiots that come up to us and ask us for a slice and don't know what they are doing, without offending the people who know what they are doing
i mean or give it some point really, make it so people can speak the other languages, but not fully comprehend, so unless it was their language, they wouldn't get the full text

I learned every single language on my very first day in-game. It's a very useless waste of skills in the smuggler tree.
