Excellent question and I knew it was coming so I had some material prepared...

Smuggling. Yep it ain't there. Ok a good, valid issue. One that will be somewhat addressed in JTL by adding ships.

Mind you the original post of mine was directed completely towards the VERY VOCAL community of Smugglers who complain about their Combat ability. Therefore that's what that was aimed at.

For those that Combat isn't the issue, you drop the BH and Scouting from my template above when JTL comes out which saves you 43 points.

With those 43 points, I'd finish off that 4th box of the pistoleer tree you had 3 boxes of before and then take all the rest of my points in the new Piloting skills. 43-2=41..

Base Pilot Profession:

41-15=26

14 one whole pilot tree

with 12 points left into the random pilots skill boxes..

Lets remember Star Wars and Han Solo shall we... In the movie who did most of the flying???? Sure as heck wasn't Han.. It was CHEWIE!! Chewie was a Pilot/Mechanic while Han was the Smuggler. He was a great pilot, but he was no Luke Skywalker nor even an averagefighter pilot.

The difference was Smuggling was less about Piloting then about SMUGGLING. The current system allows Smugglers to avoid or better chance to avoid the Imperial Scans then other classes. That's what smugglers do in the films!

Han is great pistoleer, passable pilot and a great smuggler...

You will be able to make that exact class when JtL goes live...

Face it folks SMUGGLERS ARE GODS!!! They don't need anything save JtL to come out. And yes it sucks for the wait, but frankly they told us when it went live it was going to be sometime before the Space Expansion came out...

FLAME ON!!!

Could you explain to me how adding more ships in JTL has anything to do with smugglers?

As far as your assumptions about Han's piloting skills...I strongly suggest you get your movies out and watch them again.

First, I don't PVP anymore and haven't since about the 3rd month of live. I find the practices of most PvP's deploreable at best.

Well your template looks like a PvP template to me, but what do I know....I am just a smuggler wanting to smuggle....something.

Second, I did not read the part about Pilot skills, however in Test Center they have them in the Bio treelisted asprofession masteries. None-the-less that just further strengthens my point of view.

Reading is your friend....jump to the JTL forum and check out all the stickies...you'll learn something.

Third, franklyI haven'tread more then4 or sobooks. I saw the first star wars onopening day and probably about 30 more times in the first six months it was out. I have however played the RPG. So what is in the books isn't really relevant to me. Han Solo is Harrison Ford portraying him in Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. What I grew up with.

Ok...you have never read more than4 or so books? Wow...no comment...how did you make it out of school only reading 4 or so books. Han Solo is a character in a movie created by George Lucas...a movie in which Han was an exceptional pilot with the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.

While I am a huge fan of the Star Wars universe I am not a ravenous or obsessed fan who reads every thing that ever happened. When I play the ST Trivial Pursuit game I always do very well though...

Seeing a movie 30 times in thesix months of release seems pretty ravenous to me.

And let us remember that we aren't suppose to be Han Solo's or Luke Skywalkers... We play their professions, but they are icons of the genre...

Yes and Han was a smuggler...he dumped his cargo of spice when he was boarded by Imps, Spice that belonged to Jabba. So Jabba put a bounty on his head so large that he would never be able to step foot in a civilized galaxy again. But I know you are not a Ravenous fan...so this part of Han's backstory (which played a large part in ESB and the beginning of ROTJ) may not be important to you.

To the guy that said shut up like 30 times, you're apen!s dude... It's ok for you people, smuggler complainers, to throw in a complaint in every single thread that I have read, but when someone does it back to you you reply with SHUT UP...

Nice comeback to someone who tells you to shut up.

I know how to play a Smuggler in this game. I know how to enjoy playing a smuggler in this game. I complain about things like customer service and bugs mostly. This please make my profession godly or able to compete against the TK's is really getting ridiculous...

No...you do not know how to play a smuggler...from the sounds of it you know how to play a pistoleer. Also I don't think you'll find anyone who wants to make smuggler as combat oriented as TK...heck most of us are TKM's anyways.

Enjoy your flaming...

Thanks I did.

Pieces!

LOL! I got a good laugh out of this thread. Not sure what the h3ll Walwyn's point was, except to stir the pot.

Everything I would have said in response to his post has been said by others more articulate than I.

He had no point. He just wanted an excuse to increase his post count
