I've been toying around with this idea for a while.
Instead of using Probe droids to find marks ( NPC / JEDI ) you had to use a Smuggler. Would that not feel more like a hunt? A skill check against underworld connections perhaps? Success = "Yep I've had my run ins with that fella!" (Planet to start the search!) Failure = "I don't know what you're talking about!" (seek another informant).
Imagine, your informant would ACTUALLY be an informant! You would have to deal with these shady characters, all for a small fee of course.
A small but useful way of bringing 2 professions together. This makes for strong ineractivity between professions, and a more realistic RP experiance for them. Win win IMO.

They have an Underwold contact skill line, sounds like a decent reason. Not to mention they deal with the shady side of the Illegal "Activities" so who better to know about the criminals that BH's hunt than the criminal themselves?
I think those are decent reasons. Ever see a movie where a Private Investigator gets information from a "not so honorable person"?
In return a "Mark PC" could go to a smuggler to become hidden for a time ... or the smuggler could betray him out to a BH for more cash! Even get so invloved as to have an Image Designer change the appearance of the "Mark" to further enhance the chance of being hidden from BH's. It has the potential of involving SO many players!
Why not?!
LOL
