Hey, i just had a though! (I know i know, but I promise i'll try not to do it again) We should get the author of "Sparky The Space Bole" to re-post his story in here. That story deserves to be preserved

The only smuggler Content is the "Smugglemission" of the Smuggler Alliance, but everybody who wants to be a Privateer can get into that Alliance. Just another LowBlow. *sigh* It feels like smuggling to me wether or not it is in the eyes of the Devs.

SO now a couple of questions to my fellow smugglin' JTL testers:
Did ya'll notice that when you pick up the Vet'sReward there is a choice of a 90 day,180 day and a 360 day? Anyone notice what the difference is between the three?
When I logged in, it asked me to pick one according to what I was elligible for. I chose the 180 day (I qualify for the 360) because that was all that was offered- I'm wondering what kind of ship choices you get: Is the Sub better equipped with the 360 day or is there a different type of ship selection you can make?
What do ya'll think of JTL so far- smugglin' wise and otherwise?
Personally, I think it's...alright. I mean, It's worth the price of admission for the travel benefits alone.
All the inventory space I am going to save because I won't have extreneous unused round trip tickets is going to rock!
Never having to wait for a shuttle again is also going to rock!\
And getting that sweet little speeder is going to come in VERY handy. When you hunt NS like I do- you tend to have vehicle trouble. Being able to type /flashspeeder for a new ride will...need I say it? ROCK!
Other than that-
I gotta get used to space travel- not the floating around thing (although I kinda wished it was closer to the dog-fight, XvT type of fighting) but the UI. Targeting enemies and friends and centering on them- it's all a mess.
You can target a friend and center yourself on him and find him but you cannot do that to an enemy- or I haven't figured it out yet.
I also feel just as cramped in the pilot chair of the Sub as I do in the Rebel starter fighter. That shouldn't be.
The sub is cool as hell though- But why can't I get in that lil' room with the hole in the floor?
anyone?

I suspect GreenMarine is betraying the devs by giving us a hook for future content without telling anyone!
GreenMarine is my hero.

I was shown a 450 day reward, but it stated I could only get the yaht no matter what I chose.

I had to remap my 'target reticule' to a more conveinient button; I found it much easier having it on my joystick.
I also feel just as cramped in the pilot chair of the Sub as I do in the Rebel starter fighter. That shouldn't be.
The rebel craft cockpits did seem to take up too much screen space for my liking. Both the Y-Wing and X-Wing seemed overly intrusive, and I probably would end up turning the cockpit off if I played a rebel. The A-Wing was not too bad though.
The sub is cool as hell though- But why can't I get in that lil' room with the hole in the floor?
I am pretty sure this was for the optional gun turret before they decided to make it a peaceful party barge. Not sure bout that though I did see a picture with a gun underneath of it.

Do we get to illegally modify anything on the ship or was this thrown out???

I'm glad you were able to verify this Caylin, now did you rip into the devs or TH about getting the cold shoulder on this type of stuff when you asked directly?
Did you also check my theory on it being adventure planet space sectors only? I'm still yet to visit all the space stations to get a comprehensive list on what stations carry that conversation choice and which don't.
Nice screenies btw.

You can replace/substitute parts on any ship but the SoroSuub just like anyone else, but there is no slicing of ships.
To quote the devs, "There is no Smuggler-specific content in JTL."
