I would hope it would have little to do with JTL. That would unfairly push some folks into purchasing an expantion that they might now want to buy. Persoanly, I'm hoping for another line like underworld. If we get 1/10 of the stuff we want in our revamp the underworld tree is gonna be kinda packed so it might need overflow!

Yeah my first thought was that it would be a "Smuggling" tree, our contracts giving us the XP for it, but then think of the possibilities of what could be in it. And if the smuggling contracts give Underworld XP (having that tree need pistol XP is rediculous), then it leave a whole branch wide open.
So in any case....it is obvious this document is not complete. It is a begining, but either there is a Smuggler Update part III missing, or they will add a lot of stuff to the documents already shown.
All very exciting eh?
And I wonder if they will tweak Underworld. Sell Out is now unusable after all.

We're Smugglers. We should be the masters of evasion and stealth.
I would HOPE that if we're going to be hunted by NPC BHs and eventually player BHs we would get some SERIOUS evasion skills.

Should be something defensive, like maybe some dodge to go with the pistol skills, orburst run effeciency and terrain negotiation
Smuggler should be like the opposite of BH, BHhave all the firepower you do not want to be on the wrong end of, and smuggler get the escaping skills and dirty tricks

exactly, while we will more than likley not get PC bounties with our revamp getting the evasion skills now makes it that much easier to implement.

how about a mask scent mod....c'mon, now, smugglers aren't the best smelling bunch....just think of it as an added bonus to evading scans 
I know my Wookie smuggler would for one be grateful....not to mention those around him

Well Hopefully since two of the Smuggler branches do require Pistol XP, at least getting some pistol speed and accuracy mods would be the proper thing to add.
But Congrats Smugglers, I hope this turns out ok for you.BothSmugglers and Commandos have seen more than our fair share of the "nerf bat".

I am hoping for some type of Forgery abilities (not sure where they would go). Stuff like "Fake ID", "Impersonating an Officer"... Stuff like that. Let the Smuggler have an Imperial or Rebel Uniform (on a timer) for traveling through hostile territory. The better you are, the better your apparent "rank" and the less you will get questioned. Make it for PVE only.
I keep thinking of Han on the Tidirium Shuttle faking his way past the Star Destroyers, and Han posing as the AT-ST Driver.
Oh and also Gambling. Let the Smugglers gamble! Or possibly be the only ones that can provide Sabaac decks to players.
Ahh darn it, it's late....

Yeah, but that shouldn't take up a whole tree. When we get pistol mods, they should go into our current dirty fighting tree. Mods and specials in the same tree? Works for BHs.

I love the "Impersonating an officer" idea. Like in Commando 2 hehe Should be PvE only and should become void of course if you do anything "suspicious" near a factionned ennemy NPC. Like, attacking him
