Welcome, Goliath - glad to see a red name in here, and I love your work on the yacht. Very well done.

What do u like in the Smuggler Profession the most?

and what is your job, eccept the Yacht, if i can ask (^_^)?




I like roleplay the most. Having the profession is cool, i enjoy slicing alot, cause i feel like im really going against the empire by helping people jack thier guns up, but i think mostly i like playing the part. Working on getting my YT1300 now /cheer


Which reminds me i did some work on the YT also after the sorosuub. Some of u might have noticed a change in the model. My current and futurework of course is something i can not discuss.... NDA

Welcome!!!

You did a fantastic job on the yacht. I loved mine. Unfortunately I had to take it down due to lot constraints when I got my YT-1300. :-(

Its good to know there is a dev out there who understands our side. I will be honest, I was a little dissappointed when I found out the Dev of a treat was not someone to work on us but it's still really cool.

Welcome to the Smuggler Forum!!

Goliath, what are the three gun-like things on the bottom of the Yacht? I /bugged them once but I don't think they were removed.... maybe they are just some kind of sensors?


/welcome





I got the info for that ship from a Star Wars tech manual we have here. at first i thought they were fixed guns as well. But according to the book, the two outer projections are comm recievers, the one on the nose is a sensor array.


As for sneeking in on TH... hes very perceptive, i doubt i could pull it off, I'm not a very good spy







IT'S A TRAP!! HE IS A SPY!!! They sent him in to infiltrate our ranks,..avert thine eyes!!!


Oops...sorry...knee-jerk response to red names


Hmm..I wonder who you are...one of our former correspondants perhaps?


Also..5 Star Ninja to the rescue!! Just because someone has a cynical response does not mean a 1 star they deserve. {Directed to the one-star ninja lurking this thread}


Oh and about the Yacht,..it IS really nice to know that you tried to get some guns on that ship. I guess the fact that it got swatted down is just the Smuggler in you

Otherwise a finely designed ship,..I enjoy just roaming it using the elevators...looking out the windows. In some aspects, it reminds me of a Jumbo jet. The cockpit, the forward section,...even the "galley" area. If they make modestly sized capital ships playable, I hope your the one doing them.

Well i understand. I didnt realize that there would be the misunderstand of announcing me in this forum, when Tiggs asked me where i would like to be introduced for the first time. My natural response was the Smuggler forum, giving no thought to the fact you all might think i was here to do some work on our profession. Alas i am a mere artist, but if i can use that talent to help my profession i surely will. (for example my beloved YT1300)

I second this post...


From one Master Cynic to all of the other Master Cynics out there, I say we can back off...at least on Goliath...


Lets save our cynicism for others...like JustG, TH, and JFreeman (who is now #1 on my most-loathed list)...and save our hard questions for GreenMarine (assuming SOE ever lets him out to talk to us again)...Tiggs, I'm still up in the air on...not quite sure how to proceed there...


But, for a fellow Smuggler, concessions will be made. Goliath is here to have fun as part of OUR community, who just so happens to work for SOE...let's cut the guy some slack...

Welcome, and wonderful job on the Yacht! Come to think of it, it's quite possibly my favorite piece of art in the game. Gorgeous ship, I can't wait for them to start appearing on the home show so we can see what people are doing with them. Just wish they had more item storage.

Hmmm... maybe the introduction of a new smuggler dev is just a clever ploy to avert the affections of the smuggler community so they can assassinate GreenMarine without any uproar... come to think of it, has anyone seen him lately? It's a conspiracy!

I find it difficult to whine/complain to one of our own who's been around since the start.

All joking aside, your both right. Goliath is one of us, a Smuggler. We should treat him like the rest of the Scoundrels....yarrr!!


Now hows about sneaking out some revamp docs how bout it?

Welcome Goliath, glad to have you. I too loved the yatch, but alas, could not keep it because it counts as one of my ships.


But perhaps u know where they are hiding GreenMarine?

First let me welcome you on board fellow smuggler.

As it stands you appear to be a fervent of the forum, so you know we've got lots of concerns.


Let's make this treat Tiggs talked about if you please.

I guess all my "trolling "on every Tiggs post ended in making her sad and needing to act. For info, i wasn't happy at doing that (i swear there is nothing perosnnal in all i said Tiggs, i beg your pardon, but you have to understand we desperately needed some communication), i do not believe in shooting the messenger, but that was the only option i found we had left, and it occurs that it created something.


The big question now is what this has created, you have been granted a red name and thus the right to talk as a dev. So what is it you're going to talk to us about?

I figure you are encouraged to come here and provide us some specific communication, your time is too valuable to be just trolling with us.


I'm glad you know all our issues, i feel better knowing that there is at least one dev playing a smuggler, i was becoming a bit anxious at the thought of this profession not being represented at the studio.


Now, i guess you know the torture session that is gonna happen, you'll get hundreds of PMs, tons of questions and a large amount of pressure. I wish you again a very warmful welcome


So if you permit, i'll throw my first lot of questions :


  1. What is being done at the moment for smugglers? (Nothing is the default answer we are commonly agreeing about, but NDA is an accepted answer, as long as it is not including the precedent case).

  2. When will we see some issue fixed or documented? (spice downer, crate auto-pulling, FD not breaking combat, FD for jedis, faction purchasing...)

  3. Are you going to be part of the team assigned to the revamp?

  4. Can you explain the difference between smuggling and Smuggling froma dev point of view?

  5. Can you slap TH ?

  6. Can you slice the sandbox to let us in?

Ok, i'm out of questions for now, still not believing it has worked, did i tell you how glad i'm to see the opportunity to have some communication with the Men In Red?

Yes, the bane of the poor yaght. However i managed to keep one by putting it on my crafter alt. he doesnt realyl pilot so he kept the yacht for me so i coudl still hav guild parties and distract my fellow guildies whiel my driods pick thier pockets


Still... who knows. there is alot of flexability with the model for the yacht and it may well make it into the armed segment of the game. I bug Cinco often about it anyway.


would be a great ship to smuggle stuff in, IMHO
