I don't know if you guys already know this but there is a space smuggling mission in game already. You have to be a smuggler to take it, go to talus space station and ask for a job when there ask if they have something special for you to do, can't remember the exact convo option but you should be offered a job to transport some cargo. When you get it it starts a reletivly low lvl mission which is quite good fun. You will pick up cargo from one space ship and have to transport it to another. There are a serries of deliveries in which you will get jumped by imperial patrols and bandits all trying to space you and take your cargo.


Try it out its quite good fun as I said and it's worth it just to see the word smuggling in the quest journal.







I did that mission; which begs me to ask "why" cant there be more like them? It's already in the game. We arent asking for new Ubber weapons,to be better than xy Profession,we're asking for something that the game should have had on it's release day...content.






Thats a big QFE good buddy...

Look, I know that's a smuggler-only mission and it was cool to be refered to as a "smuggler", but I did that mission and it was nothing more than a pickup/delivery/destroy/and i there there was some escort in there mission. That was just the same RP'ing smuggling that they want us to be happy with.


Like I said, it was a nice mission but they can do better.

Yknow wes, there are a TON of cool looking derelict stations in space that would make great drop off points for cargo. make landing at em possible and npc trade available in a nice indoor environment.







There's even a Jabba space station of sorts built into an asteroid in Tat space that is just crying out to be made into a smuggler only space station.


Smuggler missions without a space component is as stupid as jedi without lightsabers.









Nah, Jedi would still have force powers at least. We'd just have fp sales, for all those times Han offered to help Vader "rank up" to Colonel...






Both accounts cancelled. DnL & PotBS for me...

Totaly true, but I'm desperate here man. Also it was in sapce so it shows the stuff is alread in game and just wants tweaking into proper missions.

i tried this mission out last night because of this thread. it was actually pretty good. it's not as awesome as a lot of the suggestions that we've seen in this forum, but it definitely could be used as a component of many of them. i wouldn't ever think of this quest as the pinnacle of smuggler content, but i think it's got the right idea. if there were smuggling terminals or NPCs on the ground who gave missions that had components like this mission, it would be a good thing, particularly if risk and reward scaled with level.
