I think it will add to the fun of beinga smuggler....


But they need to add in slicing BH terms just to remove ourselves from the list for a period of time. And of course a draw back to that is, you bounty goes up a lil each time you remove yourself.

I am not too concerned about MBH/MS taking their own mission. Let them, remember you can only take one boutny at a time, so they are reduced to being a Smuggler with extra specials. I also think very few would actually do this.


The one thing I would like to see though is for the Smuggler bounties to be given some place else than BH terminals, like the bartenders in cantinas or even Jabbas and Nyms, that would be funny. Now, this isn't about limiting where folks can get our missions,just makes the most use out of the enviroment and, to me, makes it a bit more like Star Wars.....seedy bartender telling you the location of a certain scoundrel that failed to deliver as promised.

I would also like to see us be able to slice ourselves and other "customers" off the terminals....with a penalty involved though, make the chance to successfully slice a BH term very, very difficult. If you were to fail then:


1. You would end up on the boards
2. If you were already on the boards, your bounty would increase
3. If you were slicing for a customer...their bounty would increase and either #1 or #2 would apply to you


Just some random thoughts.

No thanks, Forced PvP is BAD. Its only for jedi because they choose it by becoming a uber class but smugglers are hardly that. If you had to take special missions to get visibility that be fine, but forcing every smuggler that does missions? Im against that completely, hence the reason TEFs where taken out.

I agree XStarbracer, forced PVP is a bad idea for us, definitely hope it would be a special mission(High risk but also high reward if successful)or other high risk action like BH terminal slicing. Just doing our regualr actions to end up on the terms would make it kind of silly and meaningless.

Read the OP. We're talking about an optional system that uses special missions, not making Smugglers "PvP Enabled" just for running regular missions.

Let's just clear this up right now.


NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT FORCED PVP.


Not to be rude. Just don't want this to turn into a forced PvP thread. Every Smuggler Bounty system that has ever been taken seriously has been based on a "Player chooses to take a mission that might end in a PC BH" option.


So you would NOT be forced into anything.


okay, carry on.

no one's calling for forced PvP.
the actions you'd have to preform to get a player BH on your tail would be deliberate.
most likely involving a choice between either types of Smuggler missions, or even how many times you screw up on the job.
