My idea for Smuggling missions with juicy content if you fail(Bounties)-
1) OK lets say when you smuggle something you are actually smuggling something valuable(like a Power handler enhancement, not krayt tissue but something along the lines of +10 Min/Max Damage and -1 speed)
2) Lets also say you have a time limit on these missions.
3) Then lets add that their are some NPC's trying to kill you to take the item
1- so the item is something valuable, you can deliver the item orKeep it and give it to your WS friend to put into your pistol(does'nt always have to be a weapon enhancement just something that is valuable and desireable in the game)
2- You have a time limit, so if your to slow you fail.
3- if the NPC's kill you, you fail and lose the item.
-OK ifyou steal or lose the itemyou must pay your employer a large sum of credits within a week. If you fail to pay that large sum You have a bounty placed on your head. Unlike Jedi bounties these bounties last 2 weeks oruntil:
A) you pay 3 times the bounty on your head to your employer
or
B) you get killed by a BH
>If you are killed by BH's 3 straight times(forthe sameemployer)you can nolonger work for that employeer and that employer places a new bounty on your head once a month(You can not pay this bounty off, it's too late for that Solo). Also since you can not get back into the good graces of your employer and there are a limited number of employers around this stops you from taking everything and risking never being able to smuggle again and having BH's track you downfor eternity.
-If you run out of time, you can still give the employer their merchandise back but you must still pay a fine. Much smaller fine though since your employeer has the item. If you don't pay the small fine within a week, a bounty is placed on you with the above bounty rules.
So what do you think? It aint player basedsmuggling but it could be interesting.

Ya Ya Ya, we all love the idea of getting on the terminals for failed missions..
I totally do.
As long as we have improved abilities to avoid/evade being hunted (like the beefing up of
our dirty fighting line that the devs are considering) and that there is an option
for "no PvP" for failing these missions, then the smuggling community FULLY backs
it's implementation.
I really didn't read all of the details of your post, but i'm sure it's of the
fail mission -> player bounty. We like it. We love it. We want some more of it.
Many of us didn't realy want to see anyting coded before we get our holy grail of "player
smuggling" coded, but that isn't going to happen for a while... so i'm all for pushing
for player bounties

This would be cool especially when the space expansion comes out, ohh, also, in the expansion, you should smuggle a person that a real BH is after or something like that.

Not bad, if not a bit simplistic. But maybe that's what we should shoot for.
and, "yes", this is the best I could do...everything else was junk from last year.

You've made your point necromancer!
We've been discussing player bounties and smuggler missions for YEARS.

I think I'll pull a good one out here in a few days. There hasn't been many good threads to deal with.
And for the record, I do it just to snag people and get people to laugh 
Not any particular point about player bounties or Smuggling
