I think it would be cool if we were required to have a Slicing Droid to slice certain things. Not weapons or armor of course, but more complex stuff (like ship components damnit!).

I think it's a great idea, but why not have them add something to the slice like Doc droids? Maybe not for slicing weapons or armor, but maybe starships and components. Maybe the Smuggler Droid gives our ships some little extra umph. On the idea of special smuggling droids, how about it can be set to automatically self-destruct on a successful scan or just destroy the smuggled goods, so we don't get caught. Something like the reason Jabba is peeved with Han for dumping his load. It makes sense within the story line (as if this means anything to the devs who if they cared about the storyline wouldn't have created a smuggler class that is pretty much neutered), that we should be able to dump the contraband as an option to being caught smuggling.

Anybody have thoughts on how a slicer droid could be implemented?
I'm thinking of one that could be a PLK/ MC dispenser, sorta like a stim-pack droid. No bonuses to slicing, though. Then everyone would have to have one to be competitive....they'd become like the doc's droids....
Maybe make regular droids compartments be searced by stormtroopers. The stomies ask you to pull out all droids with compartments. You comply, or pay the price. If they find anytthing, pay the price. Smuggler droids have better hidden compartments with a less chance (progressively up Underworld and Master) of being found. Then, make carring illegal items illlegal, pay the price! 
So, it's fun to dream, but.... maybe in the revamp, right?

I dunno ... I kinda think smugglers should be given more smuggler abilities before the droids.
I like the RP aspect of tinkering with the thing myself.
I dont object to finding a use for droids in a smugglers life...but I dont want it to anything that I'm already wishing I could do.

ok I just had an idea in another thread...
How about: Smuggler are able to have a droid which acts as a mobile Starship Terminal. Thus a smuggler (or anyone to whom he's befriended his droid) could launch their (JTL) starship from any location.
Seems rather smuggler-ish to me (not haveing to rely on the Imperial controlled shuttle systems / stations)
