Sirgleno,


I know I've been hounding San, but I never asked him for more than he could do, and rather easily at that. This state of the profession was actually mostly done over a month ago, because San said he wouldn't update the old one. I asked him for the go-ahead to do this for him, he gave it. Since then he hadn't acknowledged anything I did with it, or even when I asked how it could hurt for him to post it as his own and sticky it that way it would at least be updated, I received no answer and no guidance. This goes for other things as well. In short, I slaved to do stuff for him and our profession, and what I got wasn't even the time of day from the person I did it for. Stuff like this really adds up and thats not even the beginning of it. If you want to listen to me go on about it more, and some of it can seem, if not is,like bleeding heart garbage, feel free to send me a PM.


I will probably be giving the position a shot, but I can only hope youunderstand my opinion of SanTsu is honestly come-by and wasn't the product of just the last fiasco.

Yah, I know its there, I just wanted to place a little different emphasis on there beyond just the "please document us" line item I read above (or at least give it some juice). When I see 2 or 3 new topics on the first page of the forum *everyday* it screams to me that the current game design is broken in some way.

Very good summary of our profession problems. Thanks for mentioning how useless Underworld is to we neutrals... heh.


One thing you might want to add to the contraband scans > droid item is the fact that the stored items are instantly accessible via hotkey shortcuts... no need to even call the droid to access your goods.It's bad enough than droids aren't scanned, but when they can be used as one way instant smuggling containers, that's even worse.


Thanks, Caylin.

I heard that when you did though that the reward is not altered. Can you check that for us?

If anyone could check the above mention about terminals, I'd really appreciate it. I am a bit hamstrung because if I did, I'd lose about 80k slicing xp that I really need for later. Lol.


If we are, by and large, agreed with this, I don't suppose a kindly soul could sticky this for once?

The thing about terminals is correct.


You CAN slice the Entertainer/Artisan/Explorer terms all day...


But, like the quality of our slicing tools, it has no effect on mission payout.

"There are only two kinds of terminals we can slice that actually work and both have to do with destroy and delivery missions. What we would like to see is the ability to slice more types of terminals like Travel terminals, Bank Terminals and all mission type terminals such as Entertainer and Scout, and have the rewards change. As it stands, when a smuggler slices theentertainer/whatever terminals, the payouts do not increase."


would this be more accurate?

Oh, I see...hm. I could slice them for experience but nothing got upped. Weird. I'd suggest clarifying the note so whatever mysterious dev might read this won't do what I just did and go "these are slicable, what are they talking about?" and forget to check the payouts.

Sorry, my mistake.

Just tried that, split second before you posted. Would that wording I just put up there be more in-line? If so, I'll update the main post with that.

So yes, that would be accurate. Regular mission terminals (and I believe faction terminals, need to check) can be sliced normally and give the increased payout, but entertainer, artisan and scout terminals are apperently bugged. You can slice them and recieve XP, but the payouts are not increased.


I couldn't check the BH terminal payouts as I'm not a BH and can't use the terminals.

Faction terminals work like they're supposed to.


Slicing increases the mission payouts quite nicely. And, since faction payout is proportional to mission payout, you could also say slicing increases faction point rewards as well...
