Smuggling doesnt explicitly imply stealing. The act of smuggling is MOVING stuff illegally from place to place, or person to person.



But watch out that you don't get your cargo stolen, on the way...

Meh....theyll complain but why should we? We can just rob them and make them complain more!






You won't be able to PvP steal from other players when the system launches. It is supported, but content hasn't been created to make us of this capability yet. If/When the content does go in, it will probably be more in the direction of the Bounty-Hunter/Jedi relationship - where someone (a smuggler, just for instance) would consent to carrying a stealable item (some illegal spice, just for instance), knowing another player will get a mission to tryand come steal it from them. It's almost like a game of capture the flag (gotta write that one down!). You won't, however,be able to take anything from anyone's normal inventory.


For now, though - it'sstrictly a PvE ability (with the possibility of a PvP component down the line).







Now this could be very interesting. WOuld be even better if they could get a mission to do it. Say they get a mission to steal our crago before it gets from Tatooine to Naboo and they are given the time and place of the Rendevouz.They try to steal it but we detect them and a fight ensues. Could make for some fun player interaction.
