So um... why don't we just get a FD spice at Master, with a Master Smuggler Cert, that has the ability to "make the user appear dead"? Don't know why I haven't suggested this yet, but it would work for PvP. It makes sense (to me), and it would solve the problem of FD in Pve/PvP. The only glitch I can see is when someone is attacked by another player while engaged in PvE, but that could be solved by a Smuggler just choosing to use the spice instead of the basic FD.

"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

I have posted this in BH forum as well, but the simple solution is to leave FD working exactly as intended. If used on a player bounty, then as far as the hunter AND HIS EMPLOYERS are concerned, the bounty is collected. BH gets mission reward, Jedi gets XP loss. However, FD is still useful for Jedi as they will not incurr the cloning penalty. This is great for PvE and for BH missions when there is no doc around to rez.

Smuggler happy, BH happy, and Jedi can whine all they want for all I care.

If you move it to Master, then mods don't even matter. There's not another skill like that out there, so you're still talking about borking one profession's skill due to the dabblers of another profession. IF they choose to move it, then let me tell you it better be damn near automatic, without the ability to attack me once I'min FD, and no BS ways of pulling me out of it. Simply put, the best ways to make this a Smuggler skill, if this is what everyone agrees it should be, needs to come from the Smugglers.

it does need to come from the Smugglers...and uhhh, yeah... mastered smuggler back in august 2003. but anyhow, just tossing out ideas.

Here is a random thought. Leave FD right as it is, but give the Master Smuggler the ability to break FD on a person who isn't a master. It would be kinda like the Master Smugglers know every FD trick in the book, and if someone around them who is FD doesn't have Master then the M.Smuggler knows the trick and can alright buddy, enough just laying there, I can see you are not dead. Heck, I wouldn'teven charge the BH to sit in Coronet and break FD on a Jedi. I mightsend a tell to the Jedi asking for 100k of so, not to /evilgrin.

This skill wouldNOT get you into combat with the FD Jedi or BH.

If we did this right the Jedi's and BHs would find that FD belongs to the Smuggler community and to stop messing with our profession, or it will be very expensive for them

And the prior note about Master Rangers it is true, I have a Ranger in training on Sunrunner, was trying to get trained, saw 5 jedis in coronet, not one ranger

hmmm... well.. i ahve been away for a while... well. away from this forum anyways... i finally had to drop master smuggler after 10 months.. since i unlocked my jedi about 4 weeks ago... the skill points have been dwindling away... to set the record straight... at least for this former master smuggler/padawan... my first BH visit was while i still had master.. and i am proud to say i took my beating like a man.. well... sorta... point is.. i didnt FD...

dirtyfighting is going to be the last branch i drop from smuggler, since FD is a wonderful thing while grinding.. hell.. it was a great thing when i was grinding TKM. it has allowed me to be a bit more aggresive in what type of missions i take... as i am sure most of you are well aware. i just wanted to say that i having been fighting the good fight on behalf of smugglers... as some of you have. i do my best to set the record straight about FD.. which seems to be the Real FOTM... my hats off to all of you that continue with it.. i just couldnt bare to be let down, yet again, by the developers.
