I agree that smuggler has been nerfed into the ground...and the spit on for good measure..but I for one would rather smuggle spice than craft it.
We have to smuggle...cause right now we are glorified faction merchants, slice monkies, required to take 2 trees of combat skills that never get improved on..and one of them is never even used..but..as my sig says..smuggler for life..they'll have to delete the profession before I quit it

Citizen,
We really do appreciate the passion...really.
The craft vs. smuggle for spice has been discussed numerous times and most lately in a post that is still on this front page, I think.
It really isn't a new idea, one we've kicked around for a long time.
I personally am of the mindset that if we want to call ourselves Smugglers then we should smuggle...first and foremost.
I do understand though that many players like the other criminal aspects that are currently under Smuggler so I think they should remain but SMUGGLING should be central to our skill set.
I think taking ANYTHING away from Smugglers at this time is a very bad idea. When that happens we usually end up with less than we had before.
I do have a different opinion about Frog Bowls and Gaming Tables though. Those should NOT be crafted by Smugglers. They should be crafted by Artisans and Architechts and be labeled as contraband so we can move them.
Yeah, I don't know what they were thinkin' when they gave us THOSE to craft- but if they made them illegal I'd do it.
by the way-
Are you a dancer SC?

The only reason I even suggested taking spices away is because I also suggested adding several things in its place..I understand the concern about losing a skill we've had since launch..even if the skill hasn't been of use since the chef revamp.
Ive read a lot of the threads about it.
Oh and I do agree about the Frog Bowls and gaming tables...even if appraoched by sombody wanted them crafted..I will refuse
no amount of creds is worth making our prof do somthing we were never intended to do.
Anyhow..how about that idea about making our pretty yacht upgradeable and combat capable?

Now THAT is a good idea.
I got attacked while cruising in my Yacht and couldn't fight back. That SUCKED for my HAM bars.
I haven't flown it since.

I always forget my favorite ideas...Ive posted it before but..we really need more factions...there were more factions involved in the GCW than just rebel and imperial. We need a Pirate faction (or criminal whichever) and a Police faction (CorSec, RSF) would make some of us smugglers have a faction to join that wasn't reb or imp..and still be fighting a kind of war

Yeah, we'd all love that! That was suggested back in JTL beta.
I don't recall if the devs ever even responded to that request. There IS a gun on the art for the SoroSuub.
What I'd REALLY like for the Soro is to be able to put a MUCH faster engine in it...it is SUCH a space-snail.
I'd also like to get up from the pilot chair and not have the thing come to a screaching halt. Being able to cruise through space while not piloting would be nice.

Yeah..whats the point of Auto Pilot if you have to be sitting in the chair? least they gave us more space with the inventory patch..don't know how much more they gave us in the yacht..haven't tested that yet

I'm pretty sure it did..before the patch my yacht was full..couldn't drop anything..but after I used it go go somplace and I dropped somthing to test it and it let me..so either somthing mysteriously disapeared from my yacht..or they added space
