make it to where it goes by faction points.
example:
i am a smuggler on kauri server i have killed so many of jabbas goons that i have around i guess it would be -5000 faction points so if one of jabbas goons sees me they automatically attack me cause they is so pissed at me.
idea:
if you have -5000 faction poinsts you get put on bounty hunter terminal and turned into a mark.
so if you do smuggler mission and fail it you get negative faction points depending on what you do.
if it is a super mission and you fail ur client gets really pissed and puts you up as a bounty instantly.
am i missing anything?
oh: if you sell sliced weoponsi guess you would loose imperial faction points?
but don't gain rebel.
that way you can get a bounty for slicing or doing spices.
overt imps should be able to search you for spices.

This idea could have merit, except for a few small issues:
There are certain Jabba MOBs that always attack you regardless of faction standing. run past a few, and you are -5k in jabba faction.
Most faction increases are offset by double the decrease in two other factions. Read: you are always on someone's &%*$ list. No matter what you do.
Smugglers can not walk the fine line of being a little disliked by everyone, but not enough to kill and certainly not enough to not hire them if you need em. That's sort of a defining characteristic of what makes a smuggler a smuggler in my mind, and until that gets worked out, we'll always be on the BH terms if faction negativity is what promotes that standing.
With the exception of Imperial and Rebel factions, no faction gives you missions that allow you to improve your rating with that faction and not negatively affect your ratings with other factions. It is possible to be positive in rebel and imperial faction at the same time (and I oft am). It is not possible to be positive in both Jabba and Valerian at the same time with the exception of a very specific instance that is cumbersome, almost unrepeatable, and quickly reversed with one or two hostile MOB encounters.

There is a key on your keyboard called "Shift". Hold it down while typing the first letter of each sentence.
I'm not necessarily knocking your typing skills here, but it makes your posts much easier to read and you'll get more replies to your ideas!
Feel the power of proper spelling, punctuation and sentence structure!
