Thread: SOETyrant needs YOU!

(Here's the part where you envisage some important looking person pointing at you )



Ok, SOETyrant is asking for the communities comments on a few things, all of which can certainly be seen from a Smuggler's perspective.



What's relevant to us? well, first and foremost, as already posted by NickHeel, is this portion of his message,





Smuggler revamp / non-combat profession upgrades
The smuggler revamp is important and detailed design work starts on it and several other of the non-combat professions in January. We need the context of the Combat Upgrade to be finished though before revamping the non-combat professions completely. This doesn't mean we are not going to address critical bugs and issues with professions, see the next item….








Another statement, which is somewhat disapointing for myself at least, is.





Underworld
Adding to the underworld is not part of our near term plans, and probably is a candidate for a future expansion given it's scope. Sorry!




I'm certain that by this Tyrant is not reffering specifically to our skill tree, however, it is likely that he is reffering to the development of factions such as Jabba, Nym and a whole bunch of other criminal organisations that are present in Star Wars and SWG. How far that goes towards our revamp, I have no idea, but I'm certainly going to try and find out.


Now, what the apparently off topic and not entirely wonderous thread subject refers to; In
SOETyrant's message he reffers and links to several posts, each asking for the community's feedback on various elements of SWG and how we think they can be improved and developed. I think there's been ideas and issues raised on this forum for each of these, so I urge you all to go and speak your mind on each topic


"Star-Warsy" content

This community has come up with a fair few ideas to enhance this feeling, albeit some of a Smuggler orientation, but none the less, if it enhances the Star Wars feel of the game, it belongs in this thread


Make NPC cities come alive again

Again, I've seen ideas ranging from safe houses to street criminals, PC apartments to NPC barracks.


Better communication

Many in this community have been calling for this for a long time, here's your chance to go tell them again



Well, that's it really, hope to see you all posting



Edit: added a line break or two.

Everyone make sure to voice your support in both "star-warsiness" and "NPC Citys" for Adding Sabacc Tables to cantinas!!!!!


Would honestly help both.. but maybe we can sneak something in this way

I told them to make authorities in cities actually mean something.

I was lucky enough to pounce on these threads this morning. I have the second post after Tyrant's in the "NPC cities" thread HERE and I have the 10th post down in the "Star Wars-like" thread HERE.


The one in the "NPC cities" thread could use some star love since some people seem to think sliced items, spice, and other contraband should run rampant. The "Star Wars-like" post is doing ok.


The one one the NPC cities contains suggestions for increasedContraband Crackdowns by local law enforcement (CorSec, Mos Eisley Police, RSF) and Imperials, sectioning the larger cities into areas (high class/pro-Empire, seedier and more underworld, residential, commercial, ect), and seeing your ship docked at the local starport (viewable only by you and those in your group to reduce lag).


The one on quests and more Star Warsy stuff contains my Kessel Run proposal and the idea of adding space stations that you can land at like Smuggler's Run(which is a POI in theYavin system)in The Hutt Gambit.


Since my posts are close to the top and viewable by a lot, if you want me to and it's a great idea that pertains to Smugglers and hasn't already been mentioned, I'll do a /edit and add it with credit to you so it gets more attention. Post it in here and tell me or PM me and stuff. Just whatever to get some good ideas for us to be more visable hehe.

Yes yes, Sabacc! I mean, whatbetter thingfor a smuggler to do in the cantina between jobs, it just reeks of SW. For those not aware..Sabacc is a poker-like game played in the EU of Star Wars...and is how Han won the Falcon from Lando. It's not like you're gonna be mixing Muon in the corner booth...o_O O_o
