I have been messing around with the character builder from Bloodfin.org. Just got Master Smuggler on 5 May 05 and hadn't really decided what other route to go. I was thinking 2 different routes.
1: Master Smuggler/Master Commando/Pistoleer XXX4/Scout 4XXX
2: Master Smuggler/TKA X44X/Pistoleer X4X4/Scout 4XXX
The second one would allow me to get the full +40 TKA Innate Armor. The scouting of course is solely for terrain negotiation.
The first option was just a consideration but I am really not sure what route to go from Master Smuggler.
Current template: Master Smuggler/Pistoleer XXX4/Scout 4XXX
Gaoree One of the newest Master Smugglers on Corbantis (Legitimately earned - No respec)

about the second: TKA innate armour is only available when you are wielding an unarmed weapon (try explaining that to an outsider lol) so if u want the benefits of the innate armour, pistoleer isn't gonna do you much good other than melee/ranged defenses.
im using my own template:
master smuggler
master pistoleer
BH 3000 (not sure if i'll drop ranged speed to get 4xxx)
marksman 0404
brawler 4000
scout 4000
FS ranged speed 3(might drop some for BH 4xxx)
i'll be doing a better job than Han with this template. if a bounty is issued on my head, i'll turn myself in, then pay the dept with the bounty-money

Thanks for the info Egbert. I was not aware of this, well that makes my decision a little easier. Now just gotta decide whether to pursue pistoleer, commando, or go in a different direction. Had in it my mind, I wanted Master Smuggler. Got it, now I gotta figure out where to go from there.

Well I went a completely different route.
Master Smuggler/Master Rifleman with 38 skill points to figure out what I want to do with.

OK I think I figured out how to use my last points. Scout 1XXX for terrain negotiation. I was playing around in game and noticed only a slight difference between Exploration 1 and exploration 3. Getting exploration 1 allows me to get back Pistoleer 4XXX which gives me back the body shot I liked so much before I respecced pistoleer into rifleman for some more range.
So final template is
Master Smuggler (4 Life)
Master Rifleman
Pistoleer 4XXX
Scout 1XXX
1 skill point left.
How does this look to you all?

Hate to break this to egbert, and make your desicion making any tougher, but tka inate armor does not go away when you wield any weapon, only if you equip armor.

I'm currently headed towards TKM/Master Smuggler, Pistoleer 4004 and finding that it works very well.

I have:
Master Smuggler
->now comes with great attack specials and Spice is REALLY usefull now. Push your health up to 5000 without downer.
Master Commando
->Once they fix Commando AoE attacks you will be able to Area Root them all + Commando brings some nice Defenses.
Pistoleer xx34
->Add even more Defenses + Intimidating shot(!) + additional Root-Attack (Stopping shot) as a fall-back to concussion shot.
Medic 0200
->2 ways to heal yourself on 2 different counters.
I believe Commando will be one hell of a Profession once they fix the damage values and area attack capability of the weapons and Smuggler has some of the best ranged special attacks (a lot of states) in the game.
Plus if you want to blow up bases you will be a welcome group member since you need Smuggler and Commando to slice a base.
