Just wanted to know what you guys thought about this.
One of the benefits of dealing with a criminal organization is that they are full of information, due to the fact that they have people everywhere. I was thinking about utilizing this withing the GCW...using guild contacts to find out about base raids...etc. Then, of course, selling the information to the would-be defenders. Though this will make me alot of enemies...but than again...no one really likes Jabba do they?
I know this is far-fetched and will probably be next to impossible to implement, but I was just throwing this out there for peer review.

It isn't a bad idea. Although a lot of people already do this with alts. Like, they'll level up their main as an Imperial. Then they'll level a secondary character up, that no one knows the name of, as a high-ranking Rebel. Then all they have to do is waltz in and check the base times for vulnerabilityand tell all their Imperial buddies.
That is, unless, they've changed bases to where only certain people on an admin can see the base's vulnerability times. I don't recall seeing anything like that patched in but I don't really keep up with the Galactic Civil War, to be honest.

I'm also going to try to do this on Flurry.
I plan on recruiting the "spys' to work for me.
Probably won't pay anything but you never know.

Thanks for the responses...due to the GCW being FUBAR right now...I doubt I can even think about this too much right now.

That's actually something I've started doing, using connections to get people information and/or goods. Just the other day, I hooked a rebel friend up with a certain Imperial smuggler who shall remain nameless (unless he wants to reveal himself) to get ahold of some data terminals. I'm working on making connections with crafters that make more obscure items, and also the obvious imperial/rebel exchanges of goods and information. So far it's going well.
I should add that while it's not smuggling, it does feel good to be making shady deals within the game, rather than through the trade forums, etc.
