Hey guys, I'm not currently a smuggler but I've recently been reading the Han Solo and Bounty Hunter trilogies of the Star Wars EU and thought you guys here might like this idea. I have no idea if it's been brought up before though.
Well the idea is that smugglers in the Star Wars universe almost always have several identities besides their real one to help getting past authorities (Imperial Stormtrooper checks including anything added in the smuggler update). Maybe smugglers could be given a skill that could temporarily change their name or Faction Standing (against checks conducted by "opposing" faction members). Sounds like it could go in the Underworld skill tree. It could also work for changing ship names when the expansion comes out.
This is just a basic idea that I hope will expand under your guys' smuggler guidence. Just thought I would drop the idea by, hoping to more angles to the smuggler profession.

or better yet being smugglers being able to sell multiple charge fake ID's (5 metal, 3 chemical) to people to increase their chance not to be scanned, every time they get scanned a charge gets taken away but they have a 20% chance to not be caught

Along the same lines require a smuggler to slice a faction terminal in order to make the id's - the idea being that you're hacking into the Imperial or Rebel network and setting up a phony user account for the owner of the ID. If the slice fails, give the smuggler a TEF.

yes we have talked about it and there are a ton of idea's on the subject. Sad thing is it will be 1 yr or more before the dev's even think about the smuggler profession.

I love the idea that Smugglers have multiple Ids but Han always had to go to an Image Designer to get it, or at least someone that specialized in changing your identity.
