finally got through the whole tread today. And also had an intersting story to tell, kind of funny how I finish this thread and then have an amusing story all in the same day.


It goes something like this (not word for word but pretty close):


Im ridding into coronet (on my landspeeder)from my house to check the bazzar and do a few things.


guy: hey cool vehicle can you sell it to me


me: no (its my only ride plus hes on a speeder bike)


guy: please Im new Ill pay you 15k (what noob has 15k to throw around)


me: well its my only ride plus whats wrong with your vehicle(mine isalready half way damaged and I got it for 6k on the bazzar so...)


guy: Yours is cooler,please Im new Ill pay 15k deal? (get trade request sent)


me: (think to myself I guess I can do this and return trade request)


guy: (cancels trade and asks if I can lower the price)


me: no (I dont really care but figure hes not going to get anything lower than 15k from me)


guy: ok


we trade and I get my 15k


guy: your a cool guy


me: /tell guy you could have gotten it for much less (I never spant more than 10k for a landspeeder)


I neglected to tell him that I got it off the bazaar for 6k and had alsoused it up to half damage but he could have seen that by just looking at it as I sat in it. But hey money is money and I found some otherguy selling swoops for 18k only 1000m south of coronet.

When I have repaired my vehicle it does cost me around 3k if not more, I might have a terrible vehicle but... I do always look for deals since I am not rich yet.To keep thread funny:


Notreally funny:

My friend is a bio engineer and he was out on corillia taking samples of animals when he decides to sample a dire cat. Big mistake on his part because I guess he didnt know that he would aggro the whole pack and get killed almost instantly. Poor guy, I always tell him he should pick up some combat skills but he says he doesnt have the skill points.

A little funnier(Smuggler related):

I remember my first missions with him, friend from above,when he was just a 5-6 day noob, I was the veteran player (i wasnt that good yet but still much better than him). It was also the first time that I tried pixie (I didnt tell him about it though). So were out doing missions kicking butt and we get to the third mission and about 1 minute into the mission I hit the downer and get incapped. My friend, I had just met him at that time, freaks out because he thinks that if this guy gets incapped Im dead for sure and he runs for his life with 3-4 easy creatures runningafter him. I pop up a little later fealing better and finish off the lair, he told me afterward that he freaked out when he say me go down. I told him in group chat that it was the effect of the drug, I hadent been paying attention to the time left on the pixie buff and wasnt very experienced at that type of thing. Now I only sell drugs because the first rule is you dont get high on your own supply.

Im in Bestine just standing there with my Slicer title and talking to some friends when thischick comes up to me.


Chick: Hey can you slice locked containers?


Me: Yeah, but ill charge you 2k for each container. Try and finde a smuggler who needs the XP and will pay you to slice them.


(Just so happends theres a Novice Smuggler yelling that he will pay 3k to slice your container not even 10m away)


After 30 seconds of her standing there and contimplating it she agrees and pops 3 containers in the trade window. Novice Smuggler 10m away still spammin that he will pay 3k to slice your container. I finish up and trade back the containers and get my 6k and she goes on her merry way.

Ok, not that funny, but still a little funny.


I have been playing since day 2. (Couldnt log on on 1).


I just started smuggler 5 days ago. (Thank you holo).


After a tedious unarmed and pistol grind I qualified , wooohoooo. Pulled out one of my 40 locked containers that I have collected over the last 9 months...


Message: You need a laser precision knife to slice this container.

NoobMe: Laser knife, wat the fack.?... checks skill treee.... oh sweet i can make that.

NoobMe: Makes knife. Clicks slice.

Message:Something slides back blah blah blah, blue or red.

NoobMe: What the hell... slices blue.
Message: blah blah blah you picked the right colour.
NoobMe: Sweet, peice of cake. blue.
.. start on next container:

Message: Back slides back, revelaing two wires, red blue.
NoobME: Cuts blue.... since it worked last time right?... Blue must be the colour you're supposed to pick all the time.

Message: Nope. Sorry Buddy. Click. You messed up. You and any other sorry excuses for smugglers wont be able to open this one, k? thx buh bye.
NoobMe: PHAAAAARK. Wasted a container. So I proceed to slice some more coz its kinda fun. success rate: 1 out of 3.
NoobMe: This is not good. Posts on forums "Hey can a Novice Smuggler use clamps?"

Forum: Yes.
NoobMe: Spends whole day looking for clamps, no one has em anyway. Finds one... whoooptteeedooo.

NoobMe: Ok you container you, slices it. Picks "Override with molecular clamp". Same box appears. Damn waht the hell. Picks Overirde with molecular clamp. Smae box appears.

NoobMe: Hmmm.... must have worked, I think I can cut it now. Cuts red.

Message: Nope. Sorry Buddy. Click. You messed up. You and any other sorry excuses for smugglers wont be able to open this one, k? thx buh bye.

NoobMe: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR


NoobMe: Tries one more time, by god. This time I read the message after using clamps.

NoobMe: Ahhhhhh.... I see now. Cuts correct wire. Cuts second wire.

Message: YAY!!! Noob made it.

You should have taken them 10m over to the novice smuggler and let him pay you 9k to slice them, then returned the unlocked containers to your customer for the 6k...Grand total = 15k.

Okay, I'm in a PA city not far from Kaadara on Naboo sitting in the empty cantina making some spice (I love my trusty little generic craft kit!). After doing this for several hours (just wanted some peace and quiet while I slowly healed) a declared rebel walks in. She glances towards me and asks me what my faction is. Being a covert imp and having some bad experiences with rowdy rebel players, I simply stated neutral and kept crafting. Apparently she recognized my guild nameof PxI asPraxis Imperia (obviously an imp guild name) and starts ranting about how this city won't tolerate any "dirty ***licking imperial ****suckers."


My first thought is, "whoa, talk about mixing roleplaying with medication!" As she continues to rave about my sexual preferences and about the sexual preferences of the Empire's members, I continue to ignore her and craft my spice. Finally she challenges me to a duel, saying how this is the only way I can be taught a lesson and all that. I continued to ignore her until finally she started going into racist slander, suggesting I was a ni**** or a ch*** (I'm sure you can figure those out).


By now I was starting to get annoyed with her, especially because she has now left the realm of roleplaying and entered something far more cruel and unfair. I continued to ignore her until she finally hit upon my proper ethnicity (puerto rican), and when I stupidly reacted to that she continued her insults, though now with a targetted ethnicity. After several minutes of that I finally decided to close my craft window and report her. That's when I noticed something in her title: Novice Commando. "Aha!" I thought, "So she probably just earned that title and is simply baiting me to duel so she can try out her new weapon or something!" Glancing at my own title revealed "Novice Entertainer" and since I had never mastered any classes or bothered much with exploration badges, my bio must've looked very "noob-like."


Her bio revealed some exploration badges, but also no master badges. But what she didn't know is that I have actually almost mastered smuggler and pistoleer, keeping the best trees for myself and using the rest of the skill points from trees like underworldto test out entertainer. Boy would she be in for a surprise! I decided to wait on reporting her or dueling her, prefering to hope that she'll simply leave me alone. Alas, her increasingly mean insults continued to appear, and now several other players walked in to see what the shouting was all about.


I finally had enough and stood up to face her, warning her gently to cease with the verbal slander. As she continued to mock my ethnicity, I was about to accept her duel when suddenly i noticed her health bar disappear and her character puked upon the floor. Recognizing a pixie downer and an opportunity when I see one, I quickly accepted the duel and incapped her with just one shot. As I stood over her body, I stated that she should have listened to me and ceased with her insults when she had the chance. I recieve a tell from her body spewing out one final insult about puerto ricans; I crack my neck and deathblow her. I calmly walked (yes,I said walked; it addsso muchmore style to one's exit after a duel)out of the bar as the other players cheered,called my bike, mounted and sent a final tell to the girl saying how I wasn't going to report her but that she really should be more careful in the future about what spices she takes. I finished with the statement, "Take it from me, kid. I'm a smuggler. It's my job to not be above shooting sick women. Call me if you need a fix."


With that said, I drove off on my speeder bike back to Kaadara, somewhat pleased with myself.





Cut to three days later, when I get a tell from the girl. "Hey, can you sell me a crate of Pixie?"

Disclaimer: This is an Imperial I have good relations with ... so it was all fun and games.


I am buffed on all six stats.

Immediately after this discussion started I popped 2 Brandies, (I think 2) of some food that helps mind secondaries, and 1 Muon Gold. Then I quickly sit down for a /powerboost.


I was in Coronet last night (Intrepid) and a Novice bounty hunter that I saw lose a battle earlier that day came up and said "this time I won't lose" and my reply of course was "yes you will". After some idle chitchat I duel him. He accepts after he walks some distance away so I pull out my trusty little DX2 and /lowblow. While he is down I am switching to my Vibro Knucklers and looking at his HAM noticing his health is kinda low ... so I start doing /unarmedhit3 until I see him heal himself and then I switch to /headhit. We go at it for a bit of time while he is running around the entrance walls trying to shoot me...until he is incapped.


I then send a /tell saying "/db (No I am not really trying to DB you)"


/endduel


After he gets up and recovers some ... he challenges for round 2 (I pop another muon and powerboost of course) and immediately after I accept ... his Pixie downer hits ... 1 shot and down.


After he gets back up again he attacks again ... 1 more shot and down again.


/endduel


... another story ... Smuggler v. Smuggler.


A new "Master Combat Smuggler" comes up fully buffed and wants to see what he is made of. Fairly quickly he is down. He states that he forgot to pop Muon, otherwise he would have won. I tell him no (cuz I am that way). Then I inform him of the Muon, Brandy, food & Powerboost ... in addition to the +10 Pistol Accuracy While Moving, +9 Unarmed Speed ... not to mention that I have many many (too many to mention) months of being a Master Smuggler to lose to a new Master Smuggler & too much money invested in weapons and such .

Don't you just love showing off your smuggler skills to another smuggler? It's like a badge of honor to defeat a fellow master smuggler in combat!




BTW, how many of you smugglers have had your fixer titles up and get asked to fix broken quest items? Way too many people are out there with broken binoculars and decryptors looking for someone titled "Fixer"

I have a great macro I use for social gatherings such as starports, guild meetings, and Buff waiting. Ive been jealously gaurding it till now:


/alias fart /emote lets one and tries to hide it; /pause 3; /waft; /say Umm... It was %NT(Fills in targets name).


Sometimes its a riot, sometimes... its not...


Anyway, i was at an in-game wedding at the reception party, and meant to target the groom (my guild mate) and instead I targeted the blushing bride. I got slapped twice, punched once and was challanged to a duel.


... And that was one of the SUCCESSFUL times.

Ahhh.... Zandergeef.... uhhh... You DO know that you can repair bikes for FREE, right?? I've only owned one bike ever.





You talking about just leaving it out when you travel around and thengenerating thevehicle later and its magically back to full health. I know about that and it doesnt always work plus I feel bad/exploiting when it doeshappen on accident. If there is some other non exploiting way then well... Im all ears. I usually dont pay for repairs on my vehicle because it costs more to repair the vehicle than to just buy a new one.
