All that needs to be done is to have a smuggler mission terminal. The missions should have ultra high payouts and be really difficult. Higher difficulty missions given to higher level smugglers, and missions ought to be so hard that they cannot be done alone by the smuggler. This way a smuggler needs to recruit a small hunting party and "Smuggle" the party past security and get them safely to the mission point, (maybe a palace with tough guards or something), then have the group successfully do the mission. I think the reward for such missions can include a new kind of xp for the smuggler....maybe "underworld xp" for the underworld tree. It's stupid for pistol xp to apply there, and of course a money reward for the mission.

There can also be delivery missions that a smuggler can do alone. Perhaps a mission can be, craft 2 units of neutron pixie and 1 unit of muon gold, slice a carbine and deliver items to some NPC guy on Yavin IV. There can be a risk of being caught....some % based on level of missions compared to level of smuggler, smaller payouts than the high risk destroy missions, probably enough money to pay for shuttle fees plus $2,000 or so, but another way to earn underworld xp. If the smuggler gets caught, he might need to combat an NPC guard or two or feign death until the NPC's either go away, or resumes attacking you.

This change alone will greatly add flavor to the profession, making advancement more fun, and master more profitable.

Maybe I ought to work for SOE?

Ya know, Samijx... Fate works in mysterious ways. I had seen your thread sitting there all day and had decided not to read it. But about 10 minutes ago I had this weird idea pop into my head about Smuggler missions. I started fleshing it out in my mind, then went back to the forum and *bingo* for some reason decided to read your thread. Hmmmm...

Anyway, I don't have anything definite, but I was envisioning a "chain" mission, where you start out by possibly having to talk to someone (or maybe a mission terminal). They give you a low-paying mission to start, but each mission results in you meeting someone higher up in the underworld and more lucrative payouts. Kind of like the Jabba missions. Along the way, people might give you passwords or phrases or even items, but nottell you what they are for and youhave to figure itout as you go along. (Anyone remember the somehow endearing original "Leisure Suit Larry"?). Eventually you might get to "Mr. Big" and he gives you a really tough mission that, like you suggest, may require a specific group of people.

Like I say.. very rough for now, but could be fun!

Dark_Paradox -

You are so smart! If we have a good idea, we ought to hold it to ourself and not share it. I guess if you were in charge we'd all be SHEEP!

Actually if I was in charge of all the devs I would be alot more organized and get things done quicker, not to mention actualy listen to the community. And if I was in charge of our lil band of smugglers I would give the responsibility to soemone else, basically cause I do a crappy job of Coressponding... but than again thousands of sheep at my command sounds cool... 3 stars!

Hate to burst your bubble but this and numerous variations of it have been proposed over the last 1.5+ years.

If I recall correctly even once it looked like we might get smuggler's mission terms but the community asked that it not go in and instead they work on some real SMUGGLING content. Unfortunately they're still 'working' on it in their own rather annoying manner.

maybe if we asked the mods to delete any post 4 months or older? It would prevent most of this... wouldn't it?

I don't know about that Cay...that would wipe out quite a few informative posts that are still somewhat active, or that contain information that is still relavent...

And God forbid anything happen to our beloved "Chuckle for Smugglers" thread...we'd have to string up the mod who deleted anything out of it...
