And finally I've seen enough to actually incite me into posting here....
They can take the spice crafting line if they feel the must for balance (I'd prefer to just see spices upgraded, personally) but for the love of God, please don't make it an unarmed skill tree!
There are far too many melee fighters in this setting that should be ruled by guns as it is. In the end... that's fine. If you want to incorporate Kung Fu into your Star Wars character, it's not my problem. Play how you want. But do NOT make me take up unarmed to have Master Smuggler over my head. Smuggling and martial arts have no relation in my mind.
Since someone brought up a Han comparison earlier,did you see Han Solo doing a series of spinning Kung Fu attacks to take care of a problem? No... he took out his blaster and fried the guy. That's a smuggler.
Apparently when the devs heard the cliche "taking a knife to a gunfight" they took it to mean a good thing, because taking a knife to a gun fight in SWG usually means you win. Please don't further this trend. I want sci-fi, not Bruce Lee.

Upset? Hell no, I'd be extatic!
Smugglers smuggle illegal cargo, for the most part they don't make it. I'd gladly see the spices tree be replaced with something that works in tandem with the underworld and slicing trees to allow us to be the content profession we really should be.
Although if a dev asks, wedidn't say content, it's er.. something else entirely, (insert alternative name for content).. it seems to be something afew of themdon't quite understand or are simply afraid of

if it's called unarmed why do they use VK's? why is it called swordsman when they use a hammer? Not everything in this game goes by the title, there's no need to remove one of the 2 useful services we offer because you want everything to be perfect.

I like your ideas mate. And I say away with the spice tree. Not only are they useless as is, but Smuggler's shouldn't make them. No profession in the game should. And especially not from things like water, meat, etc. Spice is REFINED. *sigh* Give us some pistol mods (SPEED), moves, JTL stuff. Make spice something we gotta smuggle like some kinda...SMUGGLER. Oh and make sure to make spice...useful! All it really needs is to be made so you don't get a downer until you stop taking them. You can pop them over and over to keep from getting a downer. Whoever first came up with that idea, it's a goodin'.
