  • Slicing: Containers - Allows the smuggler to open locked containers in the game. However locked containers are scarce, and mag-seal containers in dungeons are not able to be opened by smugglers despite having a slicing option.
    
  • ScanEvasion Ability- Allows the smuggler and their groupsto successfully evade scans that search the player for contraband items and faction affiliation. This skill is undocumented in the skill tree and while critical to smugglers and their role, the need for this skill is bypassed by being involved with the Imperial GCW faction or using Droid storage. Almost completely useless at this time.

    • 10% Faction Perk Cost Reduction - Nice for GCW participants, but useless for smugglers who are not taking part in the GCW.

    • Language Comprehension +100 - No real value. Players can learn every language save Lekku comprehension in minutes upon entering the game. The jawa trash game is not worthwhile, though it does make use of this ability.
      
      
  
  
• Underworld 2
  
  
  
  • Abilities
    
    
    
    • Half of normal faction lost in PVP deaths. - Only valuable for those players who participate in the GCW, does nothing for smugglers who do not take part in it.

• Underworld 3
  
  
  
  • Abilities
    
    
    
    • Sell Out - The player can sell faction to a recruitor if they are GCW participants, however they are unable to sell faction to the opposing recruitor unless they resign from their current affiliation. The faction is sold in fixed amounts when it should be dynamicand for hardly any amount of credits compared to what smugglers have to spend to buy it. This skill is unrewarding and worthless at this time. This skill does not help smugglers who have not chosen to support a faction. This skill is not well documented.

• Underworld 4
  
  
  
  • Abilities
    
    
    
    • Faction Purchasing - Allows the smuggler who participates in the GCW to purchase faction from their recruitor in fixed amounts. The purchasing process is tedious and needs to be more dynamic. The cap imposed on smugglers as to the limit of faction they can purchase at one time is far too low and while it helps to fuel the GCW greatly, it does not help unfactioned smugglers any.

    • Fixer - There has to be a better title that smugglers can have over this.

• Slicing 1
  
  
  
  • Abilities
    
    
    
    • Slicing: Terminals - Nice, but very limited as far as to the variety of terminals we can slice. Mission terminals, when refreshed, do not carry over our bonus gained from slicing them.
      
      
  
  
• Slicing 2
  
  
  
  • Schematics
    
    
    
    • Flow Analyzer Node - Approximatly 75% chance to choose the correct wire toslice. As smuggler tools require no certifications, these are never made as molecular clamps give a 100% chance of success.
      
      
    
    
  • Abilities
    
    
    
    • Slicing: Weapons - Works well,though it makes little sense to be cutting wires in weapons such as stone knives.There is no documentation as to how much it can affect the weapon.
      
      
  
  
• Slicing 3
  
  
  
  • Abilities
    
    
    
    • Slicing: Armor - Works well. However there is no documentation as to how much it can affect the armor. When slicing composite armor the color pallette appears, this needs to be resolved.
      
      
  
  
• Slicing 4
  
  
  
  • Schematics
    
    
    
    • Molecular Clamp - Gives the smuggler a 100% chance to slice the correct wire on an item. Novices are using these at novice as there is no certification for use, making the creation of the Flow Analyzer Node pointless.
      
      
    
    
  • Abilities
    
    
    
    • Slicing: Weapons - Advanced - At this point, smugglers slice weapons at an improved range. There is no documentation as to how much of a change this is.
      
      
    
    
  • Title Granted
    
    
    
    • Slicer - Good title.

• Dirty Fighting 1
  
  
  
  • Abilities
    
    
    
    • Feign Death - Feign Death can save your life if you’re with a group. Standing up from Feign Death in PVE will make the MOB come after the smuggler from several hundred meters away, which is absurd. Using Feign Death in PVP is openly inviting “Black Rot” (999 battle fatigue, 1/1 HAM on all stats from wounds, and 0 condition armor) and massive griefing. Players are also able to use 'Posture Up' attacks to take the smuggler out of a feigned state.

• Dirty Fighting 2
  
  
  
  • Abilities
    
    
    
    • Panic Shot - Apistol attack that fires in aconewith a delay. After publish 7, Panic Shot is worthless to any smuggler with decent pistol mods since the pistol will fire again, breaking the delay, immediately after Panic Shot is landed. This second tier elite profession skill was “balanced” to coincide with a Novice box starting profession skill. Self-breaking crowd control abilities are virtually pointless.

I'm not entirely sure what it is they're asking for. Is it basically a condenesedversion of the document template? What we have in 'The Good', 'The Bad' and the skill tree changes in the document, or something entirely different? (sorry, it's late and I'mtired, so my mind's not working too well).

If 'something entirely different' will the documents writen so far simply be going out the window?

They better not be going out the window, but it sounds very close to a repeat of things we've done already.

This hamster wheel is getting smaller all the time...

They are wanting this from all the professions.

They already have all the info they need from the Smugglers. How many times have they asked us for the same information? We can only say the same thing so many ways. Why don't they just do it themselves. They seem to be quite adept at saying "Combat Balence" 19 different ways each week.

I'm sorry, isn't that their job? I sure wish I had a job where my customers developed my vision for me. While we're at it, maybe we should do their accounting for them and make them coffee, too. There's a Krispy Kreme just down the road from SOE Austin, maybe they'd like some Boston creme donuts as well. No wonder their division had a 40% drop in operating revenue last year.

Caylin, I can tell you're getting beat down because of this. It saddens me to see you this way.
