Yes, I've been MSmuggler since the beginning along with Master Medic and the rest in Pistoleer.
I've just given up the medic for BH and am nearly at BH 3040 and Pistoleer 0040.
Actually quite a few smuggler-bh types around.

BH gives you more speed, the scatter, torso shot, and eye shot. All very very good.
Pistoleer gives defenses, the geo pistol, the DE-10, and a great AOE attack along with a formiddible random HAM high damage shot.
If you are willing to sacrifice speed and some specials for defense, go pistoleer. If you are willing to sacrifice some good defense, a melee knockdown, and pistol certs for speed and a great DOT, go BH.

Game mechanics aside...
Everyone seems to believe tha Bounty Hunters are all agents of the Imperium, or always act in that capacity.
The fact of the matter is that Bounty hunters are generally just another variety of scum. They frequently take jobs from private organizations or individuals. That's kidnapping (or murder in the case of SWG, since there is no such thing as a capture). Just as no "free trader" in their right mind would turn down a highly profitable, if illegal, cargo, neither will any bounty hunter turn down a lucrative offer, regardless of the legality. It's all part of the profession.
So, yes, Smuggler/ BH is fine, really.

It will be bad arse to have cross-professions like that, for example. My 2nd slot will be a BH with saber skills, while I know this will take forever to do imagine a jedi charging at a BH with his saber out only to findthe BH is skilled with a saber as well. Makes for all kinds of interesting RP ideas. The more mixed the more your toon becomes your own, Smuggler/BH sounds cool to me.
I agree, the template that tempts me the most away from my current triple master would be the master smuggler/master SL. It would be really fun from a RP POV

Thanks everyone.
Looks like I'm actually at a point where I have a happy choice to make about the game

bleh, I must write too much, no one else said nothing
I honestly don't think much of. I guess since a lot of people are coming back for the Combat Upgrade they should probably read some of the recent upgrades as far as TEFs and faction status and all that. Get yourself updated
But glad you're back...I'm assuming.
Oh, and nice job on the assumptions from your reading, Holmes
It really hasn't changed all that much.

Well it would be nice if they put in smuggling for playersof some type. Lord knows we've been asking for it long enough.
This idea is a variation of other ideas we've had over the past two years.
It really isn't much different than the original concept SOE had for player made missions way back before beta. Unfortunately those player made mission were what hooked me on SWG and, like much SOE does, have never materialized.

What an excellent idea! I'm going through the process now of working on a Smuggler toon as Raxis on Starsider and hope for more content for the profession like this.

what's funny is that I read the dates and still missed the necro because of the date being EXACTLY a year off. Wow, a year, wow.
