Smuggler Archive

I'm against this loot-component slicing, for reasons already stated by others on this thread, and also because I don't see why the defining characteristic of a top smuggler in a Star Wars gameshould be grubbing around in caves like a dwarf in D&D.

However, if it has to happen, then I wouldn't want it to be smuggler-lootable only. If that happens, we have only one way to do high-end slices - loot the stuff ourselves. As it looks like now, we can buy/trade/whatever as well as, or instead of, looting the gear in person. Sure there'll be price gouging, especially when the system is new, but we can choose to buy or not. This way, if some smugglers do their own looting, it'll keep the demand down a little so that the prices for buying smugglers won't be quite so bad.

More to the point, this system allows for a slightly more smuggler-y way of doing things: we can buy or trade for what we want, if we'd rather do that than dungeon-crawl.

This is a joke! I can't believe this! All four smuggler trees are filled with ranged weapon specials and they're f'ing worthless if I don't buy a weapon!

And resources! I'mcl 80 and don't have enough SPs for artisian, so I have to buy components to make spice! This sux a$$!!! They should put free resources in magseal containers so I don't have to buy them -- cause having to buy something just so I can use my profession is wrong!

Yeah.... unfortunately you all sound just as stupid.

sorry...sarcasm got the better of me. My point is:it is absurd to ask for loot that only drops for a specific profession. It sounds pouty and childish. pretty close to the jedi forum, to be honest.

I'm sorry if loot drops are inconvienent for you. I really am. But what do you expect them to do? Change the loot ifa smuggler wins the lottery for the group? program in a check to make surea character is a smuggler before allowing an item into the inventory?

This whole thread is silly. You want smuggler only loot? I want $230,000,000 to be given to me tax-free too. Neither one is going to happen.

They should totally be rewards for master smuggler smuggling missions. Nothing less. And when I say missions, I mean, seat of your pants, high action, adrenaline rushing, 500 black sun on your tail kind of missions. And for completing one, you get like 20 of the buggers. You can either use them yourself, or sell them to other smugglers who can't smuggle like you can. But this is just for the really, really, really high end stuff. The stuff to do lower level slices, will be equal in tier. For instance, a tier 3 underworld smuggler could get tier 3 slicing supplies. /shrug
