Thread: Suckerpunch!

I was thinking as I was having a cig break today,and wondered slightly about the Unarmed 4 requirement for smugglers. Smuggler was the first profession I mastered, so don't take me as a neophyte to the subject, I just wanted to throw this suggestion out there. Why not replace the underworld branch with an unarmed branch? It would be like dirty fighting, only unarmed.
The Underworld elements could still lay within the smuggler profession, though perhaps entered scattered around the slicing and spice branches, and perhaps one perk each in the novice and master boxes.
The unarmed section could have various fighting moves.. Such as suckerpunch. I had an idea for this, just a rough idea, maybe the suckerpunch could be used for massive mind pool damage, however, as suckerpunching someone usually leaves you open for attack, the next hit you took would be devoid of any armor bonuses you had, (such as ranged/melee damage mitigation, and any armor you were wearing would be voided, but only for the one hit). It would kind of be like what the stormtroopers do to you when /glare at them.
Just thinking out loud here.
Thats a good thought.
I personally think that spices should be stackable, with increased downer time per. But also with the increased chance of an overdose, maybe make different species be able to take more and others less. Also spices should be a DOCTOR skill. WHY? Because who is making all these nifty drugs? come on....its not smugglers. we just transport it is all. Make spices so that the folks cant carry a crate around or they get like inst-scanned by the pigs...(RSF, Corsec, Fed-Dub & of course the imps) Make it so that the only folks who CAN carry around a crate is a smuggler. Slicing I like in the smuggler line, but come on, with all the dark corners and little rooms and alleys in cities now, just make it so that you HAVE to go to one of those places to slice. Make it so that if you are in line-of sight of the afore-mentioned security folks, you get attacked. and make these security tougher. I haven't had to worry about pi$$ing off any corsec since i was Nov pistols. (ie. kill as many as I like) Make spices the ubers (2500-3000+, yanno, total) make doc buffs the mid-range, but only like 1000+ and make all the food skill-modifiers.
Just an idea
