Ok, I am sure this idea has probably been tossed around here on the forums quite a bit, but I wanted to hear what other people think about it, and if they drool as much as I do when they think about it. A guildmate and I were tossing out ideas and this is one of the things we came up with:


What if smugglers could truly be freelance on the ground?


What I mean is if once you got master smuggler or one of the trees in smuggler, you could go to a smuggler's alliance guy and choose which faction you wanted to work for. Suppose you wanted to work with the Rebel Alliance? So you go and you can become a rebel at the smuggler alliance guy, and then youhave the ability todo the same things a rebel can, become combatant or SF, but when you are either of those, you get paid a small sums of creditevery week, or something like that. You could also pick up rebel missions or whatnot and also do smuggling missions. Since you are a smuggler, you could of course go back to the smuggler alliance guy and switch factions. I would suppose you would need a penalty for switching based on how much negative fp you have of said faction you switch to. You could also change factions to like Jabba or one of the other major factions and do missions for Jabba.


I think this is an idea that may not be too hard for the Devs to implement, but of course we wouldn't see for a long time. Just makes me happy to think of the possibilities though. What about you?

I would love to seea feature like this since I prefer to not be loyal to any faction and have a mercenary-esque. This would be extremely helpful to me since I'm constantly fence jumping from Rebel to Imperial and back again. So grinding out all that negative fp for them or buying it can be time consuming/costly. I would also love to see a new faction added besides Imperial and Rebel... but I don't see that happening for a long time.

We're sorry. Any new ideas for content for smugglers have been pushed back to a 'longer term implementation'


Come back and re-present your idea in 2010, when the developers have time to look at it.

It's really hard to get enthusiastic about new Smuggler ideas on the same day the Devs kick the entire profession in the crotch with news that we aren't going to be Smuggling anything in the forseeable future.



Just bad timing, bud.

I do this right now.


Underworld tree, i flip flop on a daily basis. Matter of fact i have been flying around in my Eta-2 as a rebel combatant.


tomorrow i may be imp, I have done both themeparks and go where i want when i want. far as cash i get paid for what i do for the faction, missions, quest, whatever.


This is the only working facet of smuggler really.


Let the hard cores declare and go stand up for their morals in the GCW. I am comfy sitting on the fence, I just get up and stretch my legs on a side every once in a while.

I was just trying to maybe make a useful post that the devs may take into consideration instead of gripe posts. Trying to be positive... that killed it.
