Thread: Curse You Team Low Blow...
The mission after that was major pain in the butt. It was a swarming dewback mission, now the dewbacks weren't that hard for us, we wiped out the defenders pretty easily. The lair turned out to be our biggest challenge, the sucker had 60k hitpoints.
Took us a while to get the lair to the point where it spawns the next wave of defenders, but most of us had pretty low action by then so we couldn't kill the defenders fast enough and they healed the lair back up. We went back to work on the lair, we got it to about 1/2 of it's hitpoints and the last wave spawned, and like before they healed the lair to full hp before we could kill them. After we dispacted the defenders We sat there for almost 10-15 minutes just shooting the lair. At one point we debated about if we want to abort the mission or not, 900 credits wasn't worth all that effort. We stay though and blew up the lair just on principal. Now at this point it was already pretty late and we lost one group memember to going to bed. That was a complete blast... Reminded me of launch... Actually, after playing with a few of the smugglers here I'm damned tempted to start a sever move to get us all together.

Been thinking the same thing, but I can already see how it'd turn out. SmugglerAdouble crossesSmuggler Belse for a few quick credits,while Crips A off to payD, who's secretly scamming C and his business partner E, who, meanwhile is happily conning B and F,who he supplies tools to by way ofintermediateG. G is in fact acompulsive scammer, making massive profit from reselling H's clamps, I's Knives, J's AUKs and K's WUKs. But that's gone unnoticed since H and J have both been manipulating the industry prices to get back at L, who's foolin around with C's wife, to extort money out of D to pay his crippling debt to M, the most head honcho of the Tatooine spice trade, who, while assuming he controls the Gemstone spawns, is actually beoing scammed by hisleiutenant N, who has massive gambling debts to O. Q, of course, is a thoroughly bad egg with a history of scamming, so he is forced to work through P, who is skimming lots off Q's various ventures, as R is well aware, to his considerable advantage. S is aware of the blackmail, and is in return extorting R, by way of their common interest in T's slicing business, which is ripe for scamming, considering H, I, J and K are unaware they're supplying the tools but seeing no real return. U is taking from both sides, promising to keep quiet, but, of course, has already sold the secret to both V and W, the arch rivals, both being scammed by their mutual friend, X, who works for Y, who's been fleeced by Z, so he can pay off his debts to A.
Believe me - Smuggtopia would turn very evil very quickly
To be honest, the assassination rate of Smuggler City mayors is so high, it's probably best not to ask

Ah, right then.
So who gets to be mayor?
seriously i think we've gotta be the most fun-loving and dedicated group of testers on TC5.
i've been having a blast with all you guys in TLB.
it will be sad when the CU goes live and TC5 is no more
it's almost like Smuggler summer camp! haha!
when it's all over we'll be saying "K.I.T." and signing each other's yearbooks.
for anyone who wants to switch servers, may i suggest Sunrunner. we have a decent sized RP community there.

Commando was my first profession in SWG. Soon after I mastered it, I added Smuggler to the mix. I'd always wanted to do a master Smug/Pistoleer/Fencer...a real swashbucklin' pirate! Yarr. Sadly, it was not to be.
Bounty Hunter and Pikeman were my two other beloved professions...BH back before anyone was a jedi and there hadn't been a fix for inv xp and Eyeshot ruled the world...and pikeman, well, pikeman just sucked. But I loved it anyhow.
The pressures of Live started to get to me. The in-fighting between guilds, between factions, between Jedi/Bounty Hunters. I'd log in, buff and after no more than an hour, I was loggin out.
Then I had an epiphany of sorts. The folks over on TC sounded like a good bunch. So I made a toon and had my first forray in TestCenter. With three toons per TC acct, you have alot of flexiblity. TC was like a breath of fresh air...so much so that I haven't been on a Live server in over a year.
I've made alot of new friends on TC5 and I encourage them to meet me on TC-Prime when this is all over. It's a great place to keep friendships going, take a break from Live and actually enjoy the game.
Just before TC-Prime was mothballed for CU testing, Bib Fortuna was in the New Unity cantina, eyeing new dancers for the mighty Jabba.
TestCenter is looking for a few shady men. Are you devious enough?

Hehe. Yes and no, respectively. TC is a very nice place when you get to know people. It's been a while since I played him, but I got a smuggler named Ichiban there.

Yep. Sometimes TC can be rough....odd down times with little notice...TIggs trys to stay on top of it though.
But yes, you can play a reg toon on TC and no they dont wipe it clean with each patch. For big stuff like the CU, they just mothball it. Once this is all done CU-wise, TC-Prime should be back up and running just like normal....we hope.
