Smuggler Archive

• Smuggling Compartments, of course you get those at Novice, better ones with going up in Underworld.


• Transponder Libary, basicly you can rename your ship in space. A more effective /iffscramble. Maybe faking your faction. (Those TIEs got me outnumbered... maybe if those Hutts there are my friends and help me...) Somewhere in Slicing


• Secondary Ship Components, engine down? Reactor busted? Good that you got a redundant system running, up-up and awayyyy. Well they are not that effective... but better than beeing a sitting duck, eh?


• Minethrower, someone on your six? Give him a little present. *BOOM*


• "Return to Sender"-System (RTS), someone shooting a missile at you? Give it back to him.


• "Wrong address"-System (WAS), randomly spoofs the IFF of the missile, it goes after the next nearest ship (Your wingman might not like this...)

Programs. What kind of programs for a Smuggler? (Those go into Slicing)

• Boosterovercharge, faster. Faster. FASTER.


• ForgeShipID, in combination with the Transponder Libary you can rename and fake your faction.


• OverclockInterface, ever tried to put a watercoolant to your droid? (Speeds up any program and calculation)


• VirusAttack, mess with your targets shipcomputer, disable certain shipcomponents for some time. Cancel a running program.

And more about Slicing.

• ExtractShipProgram, ever wanted to reuse that program in your old droid? Try to get it out there


• SliceProgram, time is essence and the space in your droids harddrive, too. Reduce the size and speed up the code a bit. But beware, it may get a bit buggy. (General Protection Fault by reactoroverload3.dll, cant execute coolant.exe "Uh. Oh...")

Pilot Commands for the Smuggler

• Emergency Jump, override the the calculating protocols for the jump, but forge a huge mass in 20km distance in front of the ship so that you fall out of Hyperspace shortly after entering it. This might damage your hyperdrive and other components.

Other thingies.

• Use more than one flight computer, Han build three droid brains into the Falcon, shure it is a bit shizophren then, but what else could we do to speed up our programs and hyperspeed calculations...


• Master Smuggler + mastered pilot profession, you are certified to use every multiplayer ship (And I want to see at least 5 more in the game)


• Abilitly to put a forward firing cannon in a multiplayer ship


• Trade oneordonance hardpoint for a weapon hardpoint


• Lock turrets into a straightforward firing position (actually something for everyone)


• Ability to slave controls of a MP ship to the pilots seat after completing a ground and space based quest

Additional ideas?

Still wish they'd included a command to slave the turrets to the console and just have them fire forward But Compartments (maybe that add storage capacity to boot), I've already suggested that smuggler be able to craft or acquire sets of access codes to let them slip past imperial patrols, or to land places others can't. Hopefully the devs will listen to one of our ideas

Also, You're suggestion on the multiplayer ships. I absolutely want the Blacksun transport ship. That thing is sweet. I think the more unique ships should definitely be limited, and if access is granted to soem of the larger ships, it should be severely limited (maybe you and a group of 20 others signs up to man a corvette, and you're given a specific date at which you can do it, and for how long)

You have some good ideas, I really like the droid programs and the slicing into enemy ships to disable components. As for additional ideas here is an idea I had before about actually slicing our chassis’s.

This is a repost from the "unique weapon or special ship component thread"...

My proposal : a ship part, that can only be used by smugglers, but placed on ANY of the ship's hardpoint (weapon, shield, countermeasure launcher..etc..),

The net effect of this component would be : accelerate the calculation before hyperspace jump (perhaps divide by 2).

That would be the "special modification" usedto evade ennemies, and you would have to sacrifice one of your ship's slotto use it (althoughI personnaly never used the 3rd weapon slot on my X-wing )

What are your thoughts?

Remember that the Falcon was a heavily-modded ship -- "I made a few improvements," I think was Han's line -- so forward-firing from the pilot's (or co-pilot's) seat could have been just such a mod. Which wouldn't be a bad in-game enhancement -- loot or craft a module that allows you to trick out your YT with the capability!

Actually it is more easy than you think. The turrets are moved by servos, which are controlled from the gunnery seat. All you need is to redirect the controls to the cockpit (ingame spoken).

• Move turrets into position 0°/0°


• Accept firecommand from button XY in the cockpit

It is just up to the Devs to do the code, and it is not that much different the above

I agree being able to shoot the turrets from the pilots seat would be nice, you do realize you have two missile launchers which can be shot from the pilots seat, don't you? And since you're a master you can load some mighty missile launchers.
