I was joking, too.
Playing on the whole "we're not drug dealers" thing. Which I always liked being, personally, I think it's a funny aspect to the game.

So you're saying the novelty would last a bit longer than the novelty of what we have now for a skill tree?

If I'm gonna be a pimp daddy I want a pink AV-21 and 2 big ex-nova troopers as body guards.
Oh I almost forgot I want a great big flashy ring to wear.

A skill line that uses Smuggler xp and possibly results in a sidekick/partner would be nice. From reading the books, a lot of successful smugglers seemed to have worked in pairs vs alone. It would always help to have someone to cover your back at pickups and drop offs and to man the turret in your frieghter

"Mask Scent only works on critters and right now conceal does not work against NPC characters."
Since when? I use caom(/conceal) all teh time to hide from NPCs with my Ranger. Nothing is much more statisfing then sneaking to within 30 meters of a Nightsister Ranger and blasting away
BTW... shouldn;t the Pimp thing actully be a spin off of entertainers? I mean they are all a bunch of attention whores anyway

I'd rather see all pistol/unarmed share a tree - call it combat something-or-other, and let the spices tree become something Smuggler-specific (evasion, fake ID, all the coolness already mentioned)

I totally agree. The problem with getting unarmed mods is that we will end up with one tree always being useless. Since we can't triple-master in the new system, it's no good to get some unarmed stuff AND some pistol stuff. It'll just lead to more combat mediocraty in smuggling. It either should be more pistol stuff or something uniquely smugglie.

Agreed, it's the only thing that really makes sense. Will likely be similiar to the BH Investigation line.

We will get the ability to smuggle Jedi around authorities and Bounty Hunters.

Since that doc that leaked a few weeks ago mentioned "crowd control" and then the CU update by blair had that exact phrase in it, I see some new combat line being introduced in place of the spice line. I would imagine that Underworld would be where Smuggling XP would go into, doesnt that make more sense?

I got it from good authority that they are replacing spices with underworld management....space pimping....new skills like /betch slap 1 and 2 which will take mods off the brawler line.
