Wouldn't it be more smugglerish to slice weapons in a back alley or cantina? With the exception of droids, doctors have to heal wounds and buff in the med center. Musicians have to be in a cantina or camp to heal bf. This means the code is already there, to only allow certain actions in certain places.
I would think it would be cool if you tried to slice in public, to get a message that said, "Are you sure you want to do this in puplic?" If you say yes, then you can slice it, but there is a good chance NPC police will come after you or a player bounty will be created for you.
If you entered a safe area(back alley, cantina room, etc.) you would be able to slice without being caught, or maybe with a very good chance of not being caught.

I'm torn. I usually make enough money slicing to pay for my buff while I stand in line, however I like the immersion of slicing in the back allyways and cantinas. I think one of the reasons why Dancers and Medics(with the exception of Buff Docs) are restricted to Cantinas and Med Bays is so everyone knows were to find them. A smart Smuggler can slice in public without ruining everyone elses immersion in the game. I do believe that any Smuggler who stands in the starport and spamsthat he/she isSlicing should get jumped and beat down by the cops.

I suggested this long ago and many times.
Display smuggler title and run risk of law enforcement catching you.
Use key words like 'spice' and 'slice' in vicinity near law enforcement and run high risk of them cathcing you.
Trade sliced weapons or spice in near vicinity of law enforcement and run high risk of them catching you.

I don't want to hang out in an alley...Besides with my server population and the times I play I'm lucky to see another person walking around on any planet.

I think this is a pretty neat idea. I'm fairly well known so get almost all my work done through tells and word of mouth. If I'm Coronet looking for work I ussualy sit in the cantina anyhow, but have been known to hang around by the fountain by the spaceport so can be a little guitly.

my sever population hasnt been that great as of late, i have some customers that come see me whenever they need something, and a few contracts with WS and AS's but some times I work the starports when i need some extra cash...most often cnet. Anyways I put up my MS title and offer my "special services" this seams to get the job done. I agree that docs and dancers work their respective places cause thats where we know they will be found. Think about it like this, whats more seedy then a bus station? It be cool if we had a place but until then im all about fast easy credits and the populus knows where i can be found.
