A while back I was wandering Tat aimlessly on swoop and for some reason just decided to swoop into Mos Espa. My Imp faction was -900. Now you know how it swarms with stormies and such and I get scanned. Some harsher words came onto the screen than what I was used to. Suddenly theres red dots EVERYWHERE and I blast my way out of the first PvE confrontation. I find an abandoned cantina and limp down the stairs to recover some and think of wth to do next. I'm tabbing through reds and behold a pre nerf CM.


Now I'm in the basement tracking this mofo CM in stormie gear. He's apparently coming down for me. I'm scared kinda cause I dont still under stand the art of borked ass LOSmulti story warfare. But honorably he comes down to my level no pun intended.


Last ditch and a decent Geno, I was fustrated at my lack of creativity in that tense moment- hallway shootout. But it got the job done. Too many spammed /lastditches I didnt get no style points there. But I let him see me meditate before the DB, assuring him his poison sucked. He neededthislast gestureas he kept spamming "LOL" being overconfident with his little can of poo.


With meditate 3the poison did little more dmg than an irrate spice fiend.And all this and I never consensually accepted to Pvp at that moment. Is this a rant? Hell no this is a rave. I was bored out of my frickin mindand now I was fighting for my life. Sobegan my trek to try andmake it out of espaalive, which a smuggler can well do and did.


Well the point of my post is, What are the rules of LOS in multi story engagements. I know a few times experienced PvPersblasted methrough the floor or ceiling or something, and then just clipped right through. I dont wanna know details on how to glitch but I want to know when am I not safe inside a building with this goofy LOS. Should basements just be avoided all together?


Also we needVISIBILITY ON TERMSso bad.I mean even if we get pwned here or there, we just a part in a little movie of its pwn. Just play that part and if your victor its even that more great, but still, some excitement and actual intelligent gaming will not hurt us.


If you hate pvp so much just dont go smuggler, or bethe goodboy smug. I'm so tired of justcasuallywaltzing around everywhere unchecked as a smuggler while 95% of what is on me is contraband. beingforced intoPvPIMO was the funnest thing ever. What better way tohave some fun than to be abadboy and generate visibility on BH terms? And that is SO star wars for Jabba to put a bounty on you for jacking him.


How boring would it be to FDyour way around his NPC BH's when you can RP with pc BH'saka The Law?As boring as his missions now I bet. This is forcing us to interact with other players and not justby pvp. WTH this solo super hero crap has got to end someday. smugs and BH's dont always have to be at each others throats in the future.. they can be working together in this proposal too. I'm so sick of solo here solo there we need to be forced to interact in different ways. Dammit we need reasons to need each other $&@#&*!


We needtension and anxiety in this profession, not this country club safe haven crap. I wish I could fail more scans but damn its hard to. Do you know the thrill of elliminating another player who's stalking you? They're in no position to talk crap about honorwhen we use our dirty fighting tactics to the max.If you get DB oh well no one lives forever and after so many DB's you loose your ego about it anyway.So please support the smug on term proposal and add some thrill and clevernessto this game.

No doctor buff. Heexamined meand just saw MSandthought I was gonna go down EZ.(I wasweilding repub blaster b4 shootout, cycled to geno when he came downstairs) But I stay well fed and intoxicated, I had a quick "meal" b4 the showdown. And since no one buys my spice much I have no choice but to consume that here and there 2.


*oh ya and he disabled my bomb droid on its last second til detonating so that was props to him.

I'm guessing at acertain negative imp score you get TEF for contrabandbut i'm not sure what that score is.I might be wrong but I think contraband scans and covert scans gotogether in the same event. I might have been covertly scanned but it seemed like routine contraband search. Are the 2 scans, contaband+covert, seperate events? I wonder.
