Thread: Greedo's Nephew wants to make some credits...

So aside from spamming eyeshot incorrectly at Han Solo, do you think Greedo made any credits?

I'm a Rodian and an Imperial. I'm wondering, now that I'm noticing the race penalties, is there any point to selling faction points if you're an alien imp? I mean can you make any credits doing it? Or is the penalty too great?

Just curious if there are any imperial, alien smugglers out there that are making money on faction.

Greedo was in the post-underworld expansion Hutt faction, not an Imp

The penality is just for buying stuff with the FP, not for buying the FP itself.

While I understand your pain, simply put the Empire does not like you. What do you think the recruiter is saying behind your back after your done dealingwith him? I can assure you it's not nice.

Ah yes, uncle Greedo was in a Huttese family business.... but that faction is unavaialable to me, but I do have the badge of Jabba's (misplaced) trust.

So I only take the penalty on buying perks, not buying faction. Thanks for clearing that up. But it leads me back to wonder, I supposed alien imp smugglers do not make any money from their 'discounted' faction perks?

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

Most people think Greedo tried life as a thug or a smuggler....he actually was trying to get into the Bounty Hunter business. His life was cut tragically short. Even if Han hadn't shot him, his mentor, Warhog Goa would have....because greedo himself had a Bounty on him, from other Rodian Clans.


Anyway...yes, Rodians/Mon Cals/Wookiees take the worst penalty from the Empire. I cant understand why Rodians...Twileks makes more sense to me.

I love being Tortured. I'm an Imperial Mon Cal Master Smuggler/ Pistoleer with some Commando. I know it isn't the most tortured of combo's, but when I made my character I wanted to be an Imperial Mon Cal Smuggler, thinking it would make for good RP. Had I known, the whole Faction thing, I probably would've went Human. I don't want to grind this template again, so we'll see how Faction point sales go after the TEF change before I decide to go Rebel.
