I don't know about this - I think a high ranking Imperial on leave is FAR more likely to be annoyed by a lower ranking Imperial who's scanning him. "Hi I'm on vacation - I can still crush you though"


I don't think the onleave Imperial should be pulled off leave though, would suck to be in middle of Endor with a party and suddenly be a purple dot again.

So...one more fix for everyone else breaks the Smuggler profession just a little bit more


Seriously though, on the whole I like the changes, though I'll be going 'on leave' or 'civvy' ASAP...

Well of course the military maintains the arsenal but in most free-world countries it is civilian manufacturers that produce it.


Now governments will often place restrictions on what and to whom those civilian manufactures can sell but in general nearly all also sell to governments other than their own.


If you want to impliment things such that Rebel manufacturers can only sell to Rebels and Imps to Imps then I think that is fine. Neutrals should be able to sell to anyone and Smugglers should be able to bridge the gap and sell Imp and Reb made items to the opposite faction.


Personall I don't think a Reb should be able to walk, covert, into an Imp vendor and buy weapons...and visa versa.






Perhaps this will be the start of further integration of the Smuggler...

I doubt the Devs will go for that, altough I do see how it would make sence,immersion wise. We would risk seeing most crafters stay civilians then tho.

I love the idea of Smugglers bridging that gap, would make us really smuggle weapons and armors.

They took twice as much from me than it stands in the Imperial Regulations for Fines. *waves with printouts*


And, I have a few contacts in the Navy that have to work 2 or 3 times as much to get something! Didn't your AT-ST strangely cost more for you, even with the smooth talk to the Equipment Officer?

It's true, in fact, when I got my Tie Fighter helmet there was an awkward pause as the recruiter told me that due to my unique physiology that the helmet wouldn't fit my beautiful Trandoshian head. I'm not proud to admit this - but I teared up a little bit as I heard those words. Fortunately the recruiter quickly told me that "I was OK in his books because I was a good pilot"

A compromise would be that the Imp has a chance to "play his rank", so if the Trooper had a good day and is in a good mood, the Trooper doesnt scan. If he is in a bad mood he scans deeper to find something. You even could the race modifers play a role, so that aliens get more harrassed then humans.
