This makes perfect sense, which is why it will never be implemented... <grin>

Here is the scenario:

A smuggler is sitting in the cantina. He's approached by a man in some robes.

"Hey, you got a minute?" the man asks the smuggler.

"Yeah, I guess so. Whatcha need?"

"I'd like you to check your sources and see if I have any bounties on my head.."

"Oh, you one of those up-n-comin' Jedi, eh?"

"Sssshhh! Keep your voice down! Can you check for me or not?"

"Well of course, but it's gonna cost ya...."

So I think a skill under the Underworld tree would be an ability for the smuggler to slice a Bounty Hunter terminal and get the list of all current Jedi that have bounties on them.

This wouldn't take away from Bounty Hunters at all, and this would be providing information for Jedi, along with giving the smuggler something that fits under a skill tree.

There are missions in which you "deliver an item while hostiles attack you" in every profession. I still don't consider [Smuggler's Alliance] pilots to be Smugglers, nor 'Smuggling' - at least not any more than Rebel Pilots or Imperial Pilots might sometimes "smuggle", with a lower-case s - JFreeman - 10/6/04

Great idea and it must be quite simple to do, just give us the same access to the terminal as the BH.

And the upcomming jedi would do what if the answer was yes, you are on the BH terminal ?

He can do 2 things, if he's low he will probably LD for a couple of hours.

If he's colse to be knight Laugh his ass off and go out and meet that BH, so he can grind his butt.

So my point is this: BH is broken today, way to many "Target is not online" even though he is standing 5 meters away from you, as is. So this would not help one bit

I agree the Smuglers need some loving, so I would suggest that you would be able to slize the BH terminals for higher Payout for the BH's instead. Hunting a jedi is a dangerous business, and expensive as hell, so to even out the score a bit, giveing you this benefit would up your class a bit.

why asking a smuggler when you can ask a bounty hunter?

Hu? What? You mean the bounty hunter will say "no, no bounties in you", take the mission and kill the jedi with a bad shot in the back?

mmmm
I'm now considering getting bounty hunter

New fear for jedis in this way : anyone that bears the "master marksman" badge will be a possible bounty hunter....
Make them fear, let's all become master marksmen

That is a great idea... actually something that would add to content for smugglers. Now if only SOE could make it work where it allows you to refresh and check more than the first page...

I thought the NGE couldn't be any worse than the CU, but I was wrong.
