Smuggler Archive

I'm sure there have been many threads about this in the past, yet I feel the need now to make another. I think an underworld faction is something we as a community should REALLY lobby for , as perhaps part of the ever elusive smuggler revamp.

I think about it often, how I'd love to really be a criminal, operating under the law, much like Han Solo (who in fact was who i always wanted to be). I think there is a good place for this, and I think the time is right. There are many of us that, at this time, are fairly discouraged with the game, and soemthing like an Underworld Faction would be a great enticement to staying. =P

And logically, why isn't there already such a faction? We have it in space, why not also on ground? I can't think of any real reason why they cant implement the same system on ground as already exists for space.

Such a faction was originally planned, but dropped due to time constraints.

Supposedly it will be revisited in the future, but hey, thats been what, 2 years ago?

Ideally i'd like to see them not just add ground factions to the freelance space stuff, but give it an internal PvP mechanic like what BH and Jedi have, only smuggler based. I forget what the other freelance factions are off the top of my head, but i know CorSec are supposed to be the cops. In the EU they were most famous for their notoriously hard stance against smugglers.

Cops and Robbers, anyone?

I proposed a long time ago that Smugglers should be able to trade ANY faction that's in the games so people can "clear their name" from Meatlumps to Nightsisters. Some people thought it was cool, but we got Jawa Junk Dealers on Tat instead.

/shrugs

i would use a cdef for a year and throw my dl44 in the sarlaac for an underworld faction

i'm pretty sure everyone here wants an Underworld faction.
we just realize that most of the things like that, which would make this game VERY COOL, will just never happen.

or won't happen anytime soon.

i blame it all on the old combat system personally. that old hunk of junk took up all the devs' time. maybe now that they have something easier to work with, we can actually see cool immersive game systems being implemented.

we want this!!

Ya we don't want AN underworld faction we want underworld factionS, Hutt faction, Valerean faction, CorSec faction, Blacksun faction, you name it we want it and the alliances that go along with it.

Look out civil war here comes turf wars, and I would love that even more.

Well said. I usually say something like, "I'd sell my own mother for a Smuggler Revamp" but this works nicely. In my case however, swap DL44 for DE-10 or Featherweight FWG5, etc.
