At point 29, would it be worth adding a mention of slicing our own ships?

Whether that be for increased performance of certain components, a once only slice to the ship in the data pad which would raise random component scores or for slicing/creating a smuggling hold in the hope of being able to use it in the future.

The offset would be that once the ship/component was sliced, it became non-removable for components or the ship itself would become non-tradeable.

Other than that, excellent job. The list covers our major concerns.

Very thorough...Here are some other options :

Underworld 4 or master smuggler only

10min Bounty Hunter mask - this would mask a smugglerand members of a smugglers group from BH tracking for no more then 10min and would be a skill that could only be used once every 24hrs. This would give Smugglers a chance to get a jedi or others marked for a bountyoff world and to safty.

10min Tef or/and Overt mask - this would mask a smuggler and members of his/her group from opposite factions (blue dot on radar) allowing the option to sneak attack or escape however if you or any group member attacked the mask would end. Again this would be a once every 24hr skill and while masked you would not appear as a red dot but if an enemy "moused" over you they would be able to target and attack. Wiser players would understand the mask and attack while newer players would be cought off gaurd and the smuggler and his group would have the upper hand. This skill would also be useful in faction point sales.

Other stuff for poo and giggles

Smuggler buddy (at master)- The introduction of an NPC smuggler buddy would be fun (GM had mentioned this in the past) aside from combat use on land this pet could also be used in MP ships as a forward firing gunner (forward only). In other words you place the NPC pet in a turret and when you begin to pilot your ship you will at that time have access to forward weapon fire. Given that MP ship really need a "live player" in the turret to gain the most benefit (360 attack pattern)from the weapon the need for a "live player" would still be critical, this would just give us a basic gunner option forwhen we are alone and things get hot.

Smuggler Bountys - I would like to see Smugglers get onto the Bounty Hunter boards based on Smuggler mission/quest failure or theft and not so much slice and spice. In a quest based system smugglers could "steal" the cargo for sale to players, this would anger crime loards and in turn peg a smuggler for Bounty. Also with high end or more difficult quests failure wouldinturn result in Bountys making the "even I get boared sometimes" statementa reality.

Just some other idea's

@ Point 4 ... there shouldbe an opportunity to "stack" spice like food and drink? Ora chance tocombine or "slice" different spice as experiments to enhance their overall effectiveness.

Agreed here, if spices are the "drugs" of SW, then they should be stackable and usable until they alll were off, at which point the downers kick in. The downer effects could also be stacked depending on which spicesand how muchhad been takedused.

Also, sincespices are dangerous to use. Some formula based on HAM, current wounds and other spices usedto figure outa chance of overdosing on the spice.

*my 2 cents*
