... so why not let us try bounty hunter missions. just the low tier stuff, nothing major, but think about it. in the films Han is hired as a transport ship by luke and obi-wan, and hired by jabba to smuggle whatever it is he dropped. he's even hired to rescue the princess in a weird way. is it so much of a stretch to think that people who cann't afford the prices of a bounty hunter with experience might hire a smuggler who is willing to do anything for a buck?? i knwo it won't happen, but what do you guys think. maybe i'm tired and talking rubbish, just seems a good idea to me 
let me know, thanks

Interesting idea, but I'd get your flame retardent suit on. Other profession don't like it when there's talk of their skills being handed out.

^^ Agree. We just need our own mission terminal, or at least an NPC that gives us random missions.

I double dog dare ya to post this in the Bounty Hunter forum :>
But seriously, it probably makes more sense just to have a smuggler only termainl that dolls out missions. In the context of your message, Han was simply a smuggler, smuggling goods when all heck broke lose - so while certainly a rouge, he wouldn't be at a terminal going "Oooohhh rescue a princess by heading into an Imperial prison block on an Imperial battle station" :>
But you raise a valid point about trying to bring more Smuggler content into the game - thks!

Ugh! Yea, not cool to try to snag "signature skills" from other professions. Plus it makes no sense imho.
As one who plays both BH and smuggler, I've always thought what would make more sense would be to have bounties *on* smugglers. Screwed up your last smuggler mission (when they come out of course) did ya? *blam blam blam blam*. lol

Actually, I'd like to see something to the opposite based on that Obi-wan scenario you mentioned... from a certain point of view. I'd like to see us get to screw with Bounty Hunter missions (Jedi visibility) . In the same way that Obi-wan wanter to "avoid any Imperial entanglements", we can help the Jedi players avoid (Imperial hired) Bounty Hunter entanglements. In another thread, I presented this idea as something of a buff we could offer to Jedi players (or any player if BHs would ever get involved in expanding their lines of work) that would reduce visibility for a time similar to doctor or entertainer buffs. Being able to slice them off the BH mission terminals for a while would be another workable solution as opposed to my ship idea in the other thread. I think this feature would make us feel a bit more like smugglers and might even make Jedi feel a bit more oppressed as they have to turn to the seedier underworld types like us for help.
