Should see a fix on TC soon. You will also see a "bio-link" radial seperate from the "slice" radial. All existing bio-linked stuff will all of a sudden be able to be sliced. This fix should also fix the inability to remove power ups from bio-linked objects.


Also added back in the "has been modified by a smuggler and may bring unwanted attention from the Empire" message to sliced objects, so you should be able to easily tell something has been sliced even if it was sliced in the old system.

Thanks Blix!


Now you need to understand that this has caused me to ramp up my planning of a trip to Austin to kidnap you in order to have you code the ever elusive smuggling content right?




"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

What about bio-link weapons that have already been linked? Will we be able to give these to smugglers to slice?

Perhaps there should be a way to have the smuggler slice weapons without having to trade them. Or maybe just make it so already bio-linked weapons can be traded, but only used by the person its linked to.

Grow. Up. It's been 2 years, man. No Smuggle. The set gets lots of other bells and whistles, Smuggler is a decent tree, you got some decent stuff in the CU, pretty much every tree is useful and on top of that, varied - something not a whole lot of other professions can say.

BUT OMG YOU CAN'T TEH SMUGGLEZOR!!!!!! Call the President! Add snarky comments to every Dev post, because god knows, they haven't heard you crying for the past 2 years!

I'd pay good money to have the devs add a Fed Ex quest where you take a package from Bestine to Naboo. Would that make you happy? They can call it Uber Smuggler Content, and you can finally shut up.




Ahh nice.. a Jebay in on our boards.. jealous? come on.. admit it you are one of those selfish 13 year old dildo users that cant stand it when someone is working on stuffthat doesnt effect Jedi. We pay money too, youngster... grow up and get a live.

Good to hear that I can now get my trandoshan hunting rifle sliced! Woot! BTW, can a weapon be sliced while its ADK'd?
