My guess is...Wes is in bed...how far ahead of us is England? You wouldn't need a Wes signal...you'd need a Wes Phone!

how many times are we gonna get the shaft? this is not making me think of dropping smuggler, i'll prolly never do that, but it is making me think of dropping SWG altogether.


u hear that that devs? your attitude towards the smuggler community is pushing paying customers to the point of dropping the game. wait, no of course u dont hear it, cuz u never come by here anymore

Christ, you guys didn't get shafted at all. The "smuggling" mission everyone is going bonkers over simply involves a player escorting a freighter against waves of enemies. You know, the SAME mission that's already in the game in many forms. I personally have run this mission, albeit with different text, for each of my Tier I, II, and IV Alliance Pilot trainers. Might wanna quit with the drama.

As I stated,we need to get info on it. I don't particular care for these being called "Smuggling" missions by the way. And this was only one mission. There could be actual Smuggling missions in the batch somewhere.


Let's not forget that Smugglers can't smuggle anything. And there are already pilot skill missions that entail carrying contraband, picking up contraband, and hijacking contraband. So, duplicating these in mass quantities available to anyone is the problem.


I don't think there's an issue with "Destroy a squadron of elite fighters that's been damaging our supply lines". The issue would be with "Hey, take these crates of illegal weapons grade materials to a buddy of mine waiting in Lok sector. But be carefull not to avoid any planetary or Imperial entanglements."


As far as what you've already done in game as a Pilot on your tier X mission trainers...well, I've already done missions as Pilots that IS smuggling (read 2 paragraphs up).


See what we mean?

Yeah, like Nick said, even if the only similiarity is that it's CALLED smuggling, that's too much for us, since we don't smuggle now, and we're supposed to be smugglers.

Nick: see my reply in the other thread. No need to have this conversation going in two places at once... already confused me plenty .

My response about the pirate icons made me think...

What if this all really means something. Now wait a minute, let me finish...

YT1300 (iconic Smuggler's ship) available to all "Privateer" pilots...
Smuggler's Alliance available to all "Privateer" pilots...
Smuggling missions available to all "Privateer" pilots...

Smugglers get "Pirate" looking icon for the forums...

What if SOE is making the "Privateer" pilot profession the new "Smuggler" profession, and planning on making the old "Smuggler" profession into a new "Pirate" profession?

Are there any "Pirate"-type missions in the Privateer pilot profession or in the new station missions?

Just something to make you go "Hmmmmmm."




No comments? Will Smugglers become Pirates soon?



My head still hurts from reading that,....its like the world turned upside down. Then again..they did have those nifty robotic arms in the game files.....the modern equivalent to a "peg leg"????

Let's not get out of control, just yet. Let's wait until we find out for sure.

You'd think just for the sake of good PR... for the sake of calming the waters when we first objected to "The Smugglers' Alliance" they would have dealt with this issue.


Such a simple thing they could have done -- we are so pitifully beaten down that we would have felt loved had they substituted another word for "Smugglers'" in "The Smugglers' Alliance" and changed one or two sentences in the missions that are described assmuggling or moving of contraband.


Really. I am astonished that the folks at SOE and Lucas seem to have such a lack of perception with regard to how the player base of one of the 33 (?) professions feels, and how easily this one issue would have been to fix.


It was such a simple thing, really... what we asked for during Space Beta... what the solution could have been then.


Ah well.
