Smuggler Archive

Having a higher amount of hign end component availiablilty also chews up server space as those high end components continue to pile up at a faster rate than matching low end components! Increasing the drops of these components not only makes sence from a data storage point of view it will lead to less frustration amoung smugglers. Isn't the whole point of the game to have fun? Lets tweak those numbers to increase smuggler satisfaction.

Yeah, pretty goofy stuff. Make high end stuff drop like crazy, but the lower level stuff required to use it is super rare.

Have you noted this in your server?

Due to BH NPC missions, Illegal core boosters, delicate trigger assemblies, mandalorian intraframes, microplatings, etc. are fairly common. But try to get a shock absorbant padding! Two days ago there was just 1 in the global vendor search for 250k. I had to spent almost 2 hours in Errand Sif bunker to loot 2 of them from the chests there... If we go for Finely Tuned Toolsets it's something similar (but at least you can find those sometimes in the bazaar, usually overpriced)

Wouldn't be a good idea making these TIER 1 / 2 components also craftable, if not by smugglers (this would be a good thing for us), by armorsmiths and weaponsmiths? And let the high end stuff from loot as it is now? I think this solution would drop the slicing prices.

Discuss, please

A lot rarer now. The only reason why this hasn't become an issue is that most smugglers are still relying on their salavaged tools. Once those are gone, were going to have to see a fix as well. Who knows, maybe the tier1 tier2 level kits will finally become the rewards for smuggling missions.

Also, Clamps and PLK are not salavagable.

There are also no listings for the new slice components on the vendors or bazzar.

Looks like a lot of things were missed with the new system.

Yes, but consider:

* time elapsed between us reporting the problem and SOE fixing it: 6 months (I'm being optimistic here!)

* time elapsed between us reporting the fix doesn't work and SOE acknowledging this: 3 months

* time elapsed between SOE acknowledging the fix doesn't work and them fixing the fix so it does work: 3 months

So, the time to start screaming and ranting about it is NOW, and maybe, just maybe, we'll see reasonable drop rates next summer

The smuggling componants, like alm,ost everything added to the gaem, can be found under misc/general items on the bazzar/venders.

90% of the time on the bazzar I'm either looking at this list or factory crates, which makes all the organisation of the bazzar a joke.

Also, all slicing componants drop of BH missions, but high lvl componants drop from high level marks, and lower level componants from lower marks.

I run Novice BH (no investigation) missions, and sometimes run into someone grinding BH, and they've often got a bunch of low level loot.

The only novice spot I utilise for myself is the shuttleport by the starport in Tyrena, as it's got a shuttle, terminal and informant in an area about 20-30m square. It's where I've always ground BH, but maybe other people know good low level BH areas.
