I posted this in my galaxy forum but i thought it should be posted here as well. This is what igathered from all the Dev postings, concept info, and information from various forums concerning pvp smuggler missions: All this info is not absolute fact but i think it hits near the truth of what to expect.
1. Smuggler takes a high risk PVP mission from an npc e.i. Jabba the Hutt. The smuggler has to deliver the goods (not sure if you return back to the npc mission giver to get paid). Not sure if its a timed mission.
2. As soon as the smuggler accepts the smuggling mission, a ranger at a ranger terminal or from a rangerPVP mission givergets aplayer mission on the smuggler that has started his mission. Mission ends if the ranger is successful in stopping thesmuggler or if the smuggler succeeds in the delivery.
3. The ranger gets a bio on the smuggler either from mission giver or use of an informant.Ranger can use the ranger tracking devices to locate the smuggler. Sounds like the same way a bh tracks a jedi. Do not know if the ranger can only track on planet he is on or can get planet info like a bh that uses a Akryd droid. Don't know if ranger gets the name or not, may not be necessary really.
4.a) ranger finds smuggler and either steals or fights smuggler for contraband. Ranger is successful, smuggler fails mission, loses underworld faction and may be on the Bounty hunter terminals.
4.b) Bounty hunter can take missions on failed smuggler anytime the smuggler is online and still has poor underworld faction. I guess by doing more pvp missionsthe smugglercan get off the terminalsbyimproving faction. Only a guess on that part. If the Bounty Hunter successfully hunts and kills the smuggler then the smuggler loses more faction. Not sure if the smugglercould gain faction by defeating the BH. I would hope theycould so they have something to fight for.Note: remember in Episode IV A New Hope, Jabba had put a bounty on Han Solo. Greedo found HanSolo first and Han blasted Greedo under the table thus defeating the bounty hunter. Han thengets a visit from an Impressed Jabba. Jabba gives Han Solo one more chance to pay em back the money with interest. Would make sense to have a chance to pay offdisgruntled crime lordafter BH is defeated.
4.c) If the smuggler is successful by delivering the contraband and returning to the mission giver the smuggler is rewarded with credits,spice, weopons, slicing parts, and/or misc. items.
It looks like the Ranger Revamp and the Smuggler Revamp is going to launch at the same time. Im not sure if its been stated or not by a Dev. but if you look at both concepts they seem to have both professions in mind. Still many months from happening. Xmas 2005 would be dreaming, Early 2006 at best, but more likely spring orsumer of 2006.
There is nothing said for space missions. I guess if you want an option for space smuggling mission, gotta post and scream for it on the smuggler forums.

Well, if it's anything like that, it'll be worth the wait. I've been wanting a reason to stay a smuggler, other than feign death, and this would definately be it. Now I just have to master pilot so I can start tricking out my YT-1300...
