Looks like somebody shrunk their laundry, ROFL

There is no smuggling revamp, Jaim ... there's wishful thinking and a dissapointing smuggling system soon to be added (maybe) but no revamp. Even Squad Leaders are looking at their recent "revamp", scratching their heads and saying:

"Well ok so what did you actually change aside from renaming a few specials and giving us a couple useless commands that we wont ever use ... oh yeah and made it so we dont have to be group leader anymore which completely negates the term 'leader' in 'Squad Leader' ... thanks?"

I don't want to go the usual "if you arnt Jedi you don't belong in this game path" but it seems anything un-combat-related just doesn't fit their "scope of the game" .. and smuggling isn't combat related so it its at the bottom of the pile of things to be done and for that reason it will not get the required development time it needs ... just like our slicing system ... and wind up a half-arsed piece of crud... just like our slicing system.

Haywood, a file existing doesn't mean "it exists" ... it means that, possibly, one very small portion of it exists or maybe not even that.. maybe just a placeholder. Point is, no one knows except the developers and that in itself means the age old "believe it when I see it" line still exists.

I'm not holding my breath on content because someone has hunted through a game file and claims to have taken a tour on an ISD.

The ISD interrior is part of the player-controlled Corellian Corvette mission. That was demonstrated for all to see in FanFest .. I don't doubt it's existance andI don't doubt that one day it'll finaly see the light of day. But my point is, like the gun holster belt that this thread is all about that has been sitting in one of those .tre files for over 2 years, there's no garuntee it will ever be anything more than a developer's dribble on an un-shaven pizza-stained chin.

Like I said previously, seems to me that anything non-ground-combat-orientated simply isn't getting a look-in. Take a look at all the recent profressions to have been modified/changed/revamped within the last 6 months or more and you get a list of things like Jedi, Bounty Hunter, Squad Leader, Creature Handler ... three of those have already seen more "changes" and even entire publishes than any other profression yet the non-combat community that are crying to for something to do are continuosly getting slapped in the face and told to pick up a lightsabre .... so, like I said, I'll believe it when I see it.

i actually have to agree...if i cant use a holster..then why would i want it?

but i'm probably in the minority there ...

Well see this is where we have a split. Yes, I would like a gun holster that I can actually equip my blaster into but quite frankly I would be equaly as happy with a gun holster with a blaster built into it that is just for show.

You wear pants that have no function, belts, boots, gloves, shirts, jackets etc etc there is no reason why they couldn't add a non-functioning gun holster belt that is just "for looks" until at somepoint in the future they can make them work.

This is one of those occasions where things are not being added because of a minority of people saying "if i cant use a holster..then why would i want it?"

The sad fact is that smuggling and many other great ideas like holsters and duel weilding have not been added is that all the work of new content goes towards jedi. From all theposts I have readby smugglers in the smuggler forums and all the posts I have read by jedi in the jedi forums I have noticed that as a general rule that jedi whine like upset children throwing fits and smugglers complain with a little more maturity and only due to a looong lack of neglect. I can post this statement again and again and either the smuggler community knows it, has heard it or just hasnt realized it yet.
