I don't believe this has been considered at all. In fact, as discussed in another thread, it seems from various posts and that recent interview that the only Smuggler-ly content in JTL is getting to fly a YT1300 "just like Han Solo" (and the Lady Luck like Lando, if you're old enough).

What's "con-tent" ??? I don't understand.

Theed was a bustling commerce city...people hawked their wares, danced, laughed, dueled, and had a rollicking good time. Cantinas packed with Entertainers of every race, shape and size...along with scoundrels, Stormtroopers, and drunks. People grouped up and stuck together in the wilderness, and you ALWAYS took a Scout or a Ranger with you. We lived our own Star Wars saga. We created our own personas, our own histories, and it all blended into this wonderful, magical experience that I will always remember...

That magic is gone now, but I'd pay 50 bucks a month to have it back.

Editor's Note: The author of the above post has quit giving SOE her money. She suggests you do the same, because this game will never be what you want it to be.

Here's my conspiracy theory...

The intent here is to lower peoples willingness to play the smuggler. They've realized that they can't follow through with anything that the smuggling community wants without major technological hurdles to overcome or playerbase backlash. So, now that no one needs to grind up a smuggler for the holochase, they will just simply ignore the profession, offer no fixes, no new content, etc so people abandon the ugly profession in search of newer and happier things to do.

When the number of smugglers drop below a certain level, the entire profession will be removed from the game, and will be a distant and unpleasant memory.

Look at the facts, folks, and tell me if you don't go "hmmmmmmmmmm..." as well.

They will nurf it 6 days after it comes out because SOE does not want anyone to make that run in less time then our main man Solo! A timers will not let you go below 12 pasacs they willuse SOE, Star Warsrules to ustify this and tell us we will get some much needed love in the next patch do out 3 yrs from that point, so long as other issues dont get in the way.

agreed, there's no smuggler content in JtL. They've madea space shooter. It looks damn nice, but that's all it is.

We may get more added to it eventually.. maybe the Smuggler revamp will spur such things. Who knows.

Yeah, it'll be the first time in the history of SWG the devs will try to follow the stroyline. But then i'm sure they'll change their minds and determine that a Force sensitive or a Jedi could easily do the Kessel run in like 6 parsecs, right?

You guys realize a parsec is a distance, not a time, right?

Smuggler revamp? Phaugh! There won't be a smuggler revamp! It's all smoke and mirrors. The very idea is illusory. At this point I'll believe it after it's already gone to live. Wait, that statement was nearly a statement of belief in a future revamp for smuggling! I retract it.

Yeah, we realize that. There's been several discussions about what Solo meant when he said parsec. Someone stated that the Kessel Run is a delivery to several moving ships, and that the better pilot one is (the faster he can accomplish the Run) the less distance will be traveled. Don't know how it works exactly, but yeah..

The Kessel run is the journey to Kessel through the 'Maw', a large cluster of black holes that the hyperlane to Kessel is near to. Most just scurt by theMaw,but some enter into it somewhat,taking less time/distance to traverese the journey at greater risk.Theshorteryour distance, the better navigator and/or pilot you are forbeing able to go inbetween the blackholes and living to tell the tale.

That's what the Kessel run is, at least how it's explained from variousEU books.
