Ya know... that would actually be fun. Have Tier 5 freighters that spawn in Kessel (neutral)or possibly (factioned) in Deep Space with contraband cargo. You would have to inspect, take out a fighter escort, disable the freighter and dock to recieve their cargo. Loot would be random on what level you attained, but not as rare for the high end stuff as say the Black Sun Helmet is.

So in other words.. I should use my fleet of equipment factories to make tons and tons of updrade kits..........................
.... maybe

Last time i checked...my "Smuggler" specials were not enough to engage in protracted combat alone...I say alone ...cause in a group...who's to say...you are gonna get that component.

Hmmm...looks like slicing costs are gonna go thru the roof...at least on Tarq...cost of anything there is "up, up, and away"
This coulkd be good, could be bad...real bad!
Time will tell.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LOOT TO SLICE.
You have to Loot to get the best possible slices.
Read man. READ.
And does anyone really want to offer the most mediocre slices?

No thank you. We jedi do not want them to interfere with pearl drops unless your going to upgrade the frequency of the pearl drops.
Uh oh...
This is what I see coming:
-Devs "Well, we decided to slightly alter the In Concept ideas of smuggling for a plan B. Instead of getting missions, and all that, we decided it wouldn't really be that fun... Instead of crafting spices, you will loot them! You will loot them, then bring them over to the jawa's, and get paid for them!"

Yes....and sell them to me cheap
Okay, so the game becomes even more loot oriented. If you're going to require special components to do good slicing, can you at least make the lower tier components craftable? I don't care who does the crafting--Smuggler, WS, Artisan...even Tailor for all I care. I just hate this constant chipping away at the crafting aspect of the game.
Gee, can't wait to read the trade forumsthe daythis goes live "WTS: Delicate Trigger Mechanism, 1 mill min!!!!".

You know, that doesnt sound like a bad idea. Since space combat is a game in itself, especialy against capital ships, it would be great if this was possible. You can easily solo anything in space, but not on the ground. As long as there were plenty of these ships, I'd be ok with this, and I might agree to these terms.
And which slices do you want on your gun?

Not everyone is gonna want the highest possible slice on a weapon. People that are just starting their character and grinding aren't gonna want these high priced loot comps. They're gonna want something to make their gun out perform the norm stats by a little bit so that they hopefully don't die so much. NOT everyone is lvl 80! I wouldn't want to spend God knows how much on a Uber slice for my striker pistol when in a few weeks I can equip something better anyways.

Any other Smugglers find this statement disturbing? Are we going to start seeing Jedi complain because they have to share loot drops and frequencies with another profession?Hmmmm..
