Pickpocket: An idea that would really upset many players if it went through. Having the ability to remove the player of credits or even items in their inventories. This would be a random amount of credits or item, and the higher the level the better. If failed the Smuggler would get a TEF and attract the attention of local authorities regardless of faction, also being vulnerable of the player and those in his guild/party for some PvP pounding.





i would agree to this IF and only IF you could fully loot players you killed, other wise thats just retarted.

Been suggested before.


MMORPGs after early UO are generally not going to put in stealing from players and player homes. I did find early UO quite fun though if not a bit tense. The whole key thing for houses was nerve-wracking at times.

Leaving aside the whole BH garbage, this is a HORRID idea. I want my house to be MY house, my private place. I hate when I'm crafting or slicing and someone wanders into my sanctum. Could you imagine people just wandering into your home when they want?


The only way I'd go for this is if the criminal that broke into you home gets a TEF, you get first attack, and your attack does 4x damage. Just like in real life, if someone breaks into my house, I get to shoot them.






Actually I kinda like your idea even better. Give them a TEF for doing it. And I'd go with giving them first shot, but 4x damage is quite extreme. 1.5x damage seems fitting. I'd say keep picking the lock of the player house at Master Smuggler. That would make it so if they wanted to do it, they couldn't do it until then. It just gives MAJOR aspects to role playing. It could be really fun.


A guy owes you money? Pay a Smuggler to deliver him a 'friendly' message.

You're a BH? Drop in on your Mark and scope out the pad.

Haven't seen an Old Friend in a while? Sit in his living room for a Versian Brandy, and some Veghash.


I'm not saying make this a skill where you can actually do anything to the stuff inside the house. Just make it so you can stop it, say, set you on the access list for 15 minutes.

Sounds like what you really want to do is rob fellow players.


Sorry, that's not "roleplaying". That's just low.


I only support these harebrained ideas if failure divulges the thief's payment information and home address.


[EDIT: Now, the suggestions that just allow the lockpicker to enter a private residence or bypass an entry fee, but not take items or admin, those are OK by me. In fact I could have fun with those ]

I mean we are slicers right? why can't we just slice the Access codes?


Make it so we can Slice the access terminal for a set amount of time, and only make it available every so often.


All the mechanics are there, and it'd be really fun

People we are smugglers...Not thieves...Comon...Since when did Smugglers carry Lockpicks??? If smugglers was meant to be thieves...The Han wouldent have needed R2D2 to hack into terminals..Think about it people...We are SUPPOSE (though we cant)..To transport Illegal Items...Not steal em....You are crossing 2 or mabye 3. (if you wanna include the assasin) Prof. in one smuggler skill...But the bottom line is....We are not thieves

When you smuggle, you steal revenues derived from duties and taxes from the government.


I say smugglers ARE thieves!


Smugglers also need "disable metal detector" and "confuse spice-sniffing-nuna" skills, for those who don't have JTL and need to make use of the shuttle system.

So, no, thank you. =)






You may have a point with the "nasty griefing tools".


/pulls back box of "Imperial Girlscout" cookies and walks back to curb.


made from real girlscouts. Now with 25% more girlscouts in each package.

now its starting to sound like a t-shirt at tshirthell.com .. "I like my women like I like my cofeee..." (back side) "ground up and in the freezer".
