I am going Master Smuggler and Master Pistoleer

FIRST....what race.... I did Zabrak...but I heard that imperials charge you more for faction perks. Seeing the smuggler does a lot of facion-based stuff...maybe it was better to go human?

What should I spend my extra points into considering the norm you'll be getting into. IE...do smugglers end up having a lot of up-front fights and need more melee, or can you easily run around and only use your pistol, etc....or would it be best to put extra points into rifle for sniping....or is sniping even used very commonly.

All in all...I'd just like some suggestions. Master Smuggler/Pistoleer what about the rest of my points? I have Novice Medic for some basic heals.

You dont have to get into fights if you don't want to. In fact, it is easier for Smugglers to avoid fights, because you get extra ability to avoid the Imperial scans where Stormtroopers search you for "illegal goods" (spice and sliced weapons). At master, I think you have a 95% chance of passing any such scan.

Now if you decide to sell faction points, you have to go Overt to do that... so that could put you in danger. After you are done selling, you can become Covert again, but it takes an Hour to kick in.

As far as combat skills... I am Master Rifle. I enjoy this a lot, but you kind of end up doubling up some of your Skill points that way. I have to have Unarmed 4 and Pistols 4 for smuggler, and I rarely use them... so thats a bummer.

As far as Race.. it doesnt matter for Smuggler I dont think.

Well....seeing master smuggler has to due with faction discount....why not be human and have no penalty for buying...but then again....would I be doing imperials missions if they are looking for me, lol.

Reason I went zabrak was for the defens bonuses + equil I'll probably stick with that.

As for going rifle/smugg, wouldn't you...not really use rifle much? I was a bounty hunter and ended up never using my rifle except maybe for pulling and that's it. Seems most combat is close quarters.

Guess I'll stick with my rifle plan...but what sucks is the wasted points into unarmed

SO here is my new question

Should I go rifle with spare points and if so... what #-#-#-#? I can't max them all. I figured I could try sniping a few people if I had the chance

Should I put the rest int melee and if so... what #-#-#-#? I can't max them all. I figured that if anyone ran up close where I couldn't use my pistol well, I could switch to melee. (what's the point of low blow if I get knockdown though)
