I'd like to believe that JFreeman is a decent guy but damn, he seems about a dence as a freaking lead ball. I don't see his strange differintiation of Smuggling and smuggling

I believe there is going to be a real problem soon in the way the Devs describe missions/characters.

When they say "Smugglers", are they going to be refering to original or privateer?


I have already read in other posts where people are refering to thier "smuggling missions" when they are discussing missions for the smuggler alliance.

Yep... and the easiest solution to this is to not have smuggler missions. I totally agree (with whoever it was that posted it) that they need to make some name changes here. They need to at least change the way they (the Devs) refer to them. If they would just call them privateer missions, and not smugglers alliance, or smuggling missions, this would begin to clear up a lot of the misconception with the rest of the non smuggler players who seem to think they're now smugglers.


I'll say it again (I think I said it before), I foresee their current wording is going to cause other players to say that the Devs are taking something away from them when they finally do decide to give us Smuggler only missions.

"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

Taking bets on how long it takes the Smuggler's posts to be deleted from the discussion thread.

Agreed! This is precisely what I've heard from people in game too.


Yall should go out and ask people something weird like "Hey, did you hear they're putting Smuggling missions in space for us? And you don't even have to be a Smuggler to do 'em! Isn't that sweet!?"


Asked a couple people tonight about that and they rejoiced...all of them. Then I said, "Yeah, I wish they'd open up the Bounty Hunters Guild to us...I think they're denying me content by not letting me in just cause I'm not a BH. I think that's bogus." All 3 people I asked said that if I'm not at least a Novice BH, I shuoldn't be in the Guild, even as an informant. Yet when I asked them if they thought the Smuggler's Alliance was cool, they said it was cool to let people in. One person went as far to say that Smugglers aren't great pilots ebcause they seem to fly bulk freighters and are more of a "suicide" pilot that takes risks...that's why we need hired muscle and the Bounty Hunters don't need it or informants.


I mean, what the Hell?

At least one of them was already deleted, though that one wasn't terribly surprising. But I love how even our flamiest threads are still full of honest arguments and careful explanations.

As I said...I gave up on that thread after my last post...


I've come to the conclusion that JFreeman is dumb as a box of rocks (might be a brilliant coder...but his "people" skills suck), and would love to actually have him read that assessment. As I've pointed out, the Devs and the other NON-Smuggler members of the "Smuggler's Alliance" just don't get it. And to have JFreeman point us at another topic, some kind of shiny new toy to throw at us, only proves that HE definitely doesn't get us.


By the way...I'd love to have this confirmed...but it's my suspicion that these so-called "Smuggler only" missions from the Talus station are pretty much like the missions from the other stations that everyone has access to. The only difference that makes these "Smuggler only" is the fact that we can understand the controller at the Talus station but anyone without UW 1 can't. But, I don't have a character on TC, so I have no way of substantiating that claim...

Yeah...they could at least give me the amusement of flaming me along with the one-star...


I could care less about the stars, I'm just spoiling for a fight...


Edit: I do appreciate the support though...
