Smuggler smuggle they are not petty theifs. I just want to get peope's illegal stuff from point A to point B with no imperial entanglements, not rip them off.

My sentiments exactly. I don't want to run around boosting speeders, picking pockets, and scalping tickets to a hockey game.

I have to agree 100%. Implimenting theivery would be a bad idea.

See the negatives...think on them...find the positive.

I'd like to be able to slice harvesters now you mention it. I'd like for the ability to be able to up the harvester rate temporarily at a cost of increased power, increased maintenance with the risk of causing some hefty damage to the harvester itself.

Don't want to be able to steal from other players though. Being able to pickpocket key items from NPCs might be an idea though. People don't get up one morning and suddenly decide to smuggle. They learn simpler skills first.

uhh ok... since when did Smuggler = Thief? sliceing Terms to get a better cut of the loot is one thing.. but sliceing into someones home? jacking their speeder? no... if i wanted to play a theif, i'd be on EQ, or WOW, or DAoC. I started playing SWG to actualy SMUGGLE something... whether it be Reb Spec-Ops into Imp Territory to help out some poor backwater planet, or getting Veggies into a system where they're tarriffed out the waste shute.

your ideas do have some merit to them though.. but you're pushing far towards the area where some people don't want to go.. but if i might....

Get Out OF Jail Free card : the smuggler uses his sliceing ability to get him, or someone else out of imp(or Reb) lockup. that's if they ever introduce such a thing...

Pick Pocket: good for doing the above, lift the keys before they notice, maybe even get the access code to the evidence room ( gotta get yer imponded blaster back, and maybe something else?)

Factory Slice : well, possibly you need to get that Bad Motivator fixed, or need to plug a leak in the hyperdrive ( lamest exuse in the univers #1) and either don't have the part, or the cash... hack a Factory to make it for you... might take a little while, and there's no telling when the owner will show up to collect his product.

Hi-Jacking: now here's a possibility... need a quick ride outa dodge, but your swoop looks more like abstract art than a vehicle? grab a vehicle from yor friendly neighborhood Reb or Imp Motor Pool. the heavyer the vehicle, the higher the chance of either disableing it, being spotted, or making it go boom(worst case scenario)

If you think about it-

Smuggler's ALREADY have the ability to steal all the best stuff in the game when we slice them.

BUT WE DON'T

That's because we are NOT theives. We are smuggler's. We be classy outlaws. Not that down on their luck sort.

It really is a testement to our honesty that you RARELY hear of someone handing over their stuff for a slice and not getting it back.

and I I'm sure all my home slices would agree with that statement.
