Hello everyone, so I was looking on the internet for some guides when I came accross this

Vehicle Hod-Rodding
Any good Smuggler owns a fast vehicle with plenty of boot space to carry his illegal goods and out-run patrols and any master Smuggler knows how to achieve such modifications himself. Here's the sorts of things Smugglers are doing to their beloved speeder:

Cargo Hold - A boot section added to a multi-passenger vehicle. The hold will only be of small size and therefore only capable of storing 10 items and will only be accessable while the vehicle is called. However, this extra storage slot wont be scanned by authorities during patrol scans and therefore can aid a smuggler (and anyone else) in smuggling illegal goods around the galaxy.
Booster Turbine - A Booster Turbine is effectively an extra engine welded onto the vehicle's chasis. However, its raw power is so grate that in using it, it will greatly reduce the lifespan of the vehicle. When modded, a special booster will appear on your vehicle much in the same way that adding a booster on a spacecraft adds a visible item. When using the booster, it will slowly drain the health of your vehicle until the vehicle reaches 10% health and the booster will be disabled. When a vehicle is repaired to full condition, the booster will be re-activated.
Increased topspeed - By tinkering with the engines, a Smuggler will be able to increase the overal topspeed of the vehicle by up to 10%. This modification will be lost each time the vehicle is repaired. This change may have some kind of visual effect on the vehicle. For instance, normal engines may be replaced with engines without a hardcased shell (bare-boned).
Increased Acceleration - Tightening the acceleration cable is a well known trick in the Smuggler's world and allows an increase in acceleration time by 10%. This also improves the vehicle's handling up slopes. However, when the vehicle is repaired at a garage it will lose this modification. This change may also have some kind of visual effect on the vehicle such as extra fins on the side for greater airodynamic and downforce.

Is this true? If so how do you do it? I've been a smuggler since before CU and I've never heard of this stuff before.

I also liked, "Get out of the city!" Wasn't that Balki too?

Theed was a bustling commerce city...people hawked their wares, danced, laughed, dueled, and had a rollicking good time. Cantinas packed with Entertainers of every race, shape and size...along with scoundrels, Stormtroopers, and drunks. People grouped up and stuck together in the wilderness, and you ALWAYS took a Scout or a Ranger with you. We lived our own Star Wars saga. We created our own personas, our own histories, and it all blended into this wonderful, magical experience that I will always remember...

That magic is gone now, but I'd pay 50 bucks a month to have it back.

Editor's Note: The author of the above post has quit giving SOE her money. She suggests you do the same, because this game will never be what you want it to be.

Yep, that was him. Talk about a blast from the past... (a greaser from the freezer? o.O)

He's an ass on "The Surreal Life" now though.

"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

Isnt this an old "I wish" post quoted here?

jnoh | master smuggler + master pilot | starsider

If you don't want me to "play the forums," then I suggest you make time playing the game more rewarding and less repetitive than "playing" here!
READ THIS before telling me I cannot complain about Smuggler
