Thread: Honestly, are smugglers supposed to be nice to their fellow smugglers? Should we implement something

Sure, its cool to have an underground network of smugglers and all, but since when is everyone supposed to be on the up and up with each other? Han and Chewie faced betrayal time and again from their fellow smugglers. Now if we could somehow implement a system in the game reflecting this that would be really cool...
Of course it helps to have a few allies among smugglers. But not all smugglers were honest. If I remember correctly, Niles Ferrier was a smuggler who worked with Grand Admiral Thrawn against the Rebels.
I think it would be interesting for smugglers to try to trip up their fellow smugglers. Let me give an example. Lets say Han Solo is getting all the great jobs from Jabba. I'm an up and coming smuggler who is trying to get these jobs too. Lets say I had an Underworld IV ability to increase visibility on certain smugglers. I could visit an Imperial Recruiter and bribe him x amount of credits to give visibility to a certain smuggler. After x amount of visibility points, bam! you have a bounty on that smuggler's head. While the bounty is on, that smuggler isn't pulling those jobs now is he?
While some could say this is griefing, I would only apply this to PvP mission smugglers. There should be a system to opt to be either a PvP or PvE smuggler.

I like the idea alot. I'm for anything that would foundate an underground war, another going on besides the GCW, a criminal world war. Hope someday something like it would happen.
But it would more than likely end up the same fate as kessel- PPl would howel that another smuggler is grieving them, and since they pay $15 a month to not engage in PVP it must be changed to suit the carebears. They do seem to have control of the fate of the game. Good luck getting the idea to fly w/ them.

Well, We've called for a Hutt faction before, why not call for TWO criminal factions or more...?

I had this exciting vision pre-JTL that as a Hutt factioned player I would be permanantly overt to all Imps and Rebs in space. The reality was crushing...

As much as I like the ideal, with Smugglers the way we are now, we need all the solidarity we can get. Maybe after we're all making fortunes with lucrative Smuggling (yes, with a capital 'S'), we can explore how to screw each other over.
