Considering the line of work we do and the talents Master Smugglers have I had an idea for the Master Smuggler box. The ability to slice travel terminals to travel to cities you are banned from. Being a Bounty Hunter I know how easy it is to get City banned. It seems that a clever smuggler would be able to find a way to get into a shuttle port with some cleverly forged documents. The risk being a large fine if we are discovered. What do you guys think?

What I think is, that it's not the Smuggler, it's the Bounty Hunter inside of you who got that idea.
Not very smugglerish in my opinion, better change would be that they let us chose the mission we want to slice on the mission terminals.

What would be more smugglerish (outside of actually having stuff to smuggle) than the ability to go where you're not suppose to? Can't you just picture a smuggler sneeking thourgh a shuttle port trying not to be seen. Showing cleverly manufactured ID papers to get past security? Same basic principal.

A good smuggler doesn't get in the situation to get a city bann. A good smuggler does his things in a way, the city governement won't get attention of it, and as soon as it is riscy to get into a city, cause ya know you are on local attention, a smuggler gets a new playingfield.
I don t see any reason why I should be interested in getting an ability that my enemy, and nothing other are Bounty Hunters, can use against me. Been a Smuggler means take and sell things for profit, not to hunt people. Bounty Hunters are people who try to get hand on people like us. So I don't thinking of any support for that.
It's still a BH interest in my eyes, got nothing to do with us Smugglers.
It's just what I think, and that's what ya asked for.

or maybe you could Slice terminals and not have to pay for tickets to go places, or if you slice a cloning terminal you don't have to pay for cloning, and same with insurance terms.

when did you ever see han work on a terminal? of any kind?
what we need are smuggler droids.. a good r2 unit to 'talk' to the systems and get all those blast doors and cargo bays open... that and a good pistol to hold off the authorities

I don't see any way this would benefit smugglers. It would just give BHs one more way to hit their marks, and contribute pretty much nothing to Smugglers. More to the point, city bans are supposed to be there to prevent unwanted elements from hanging around in a community, and are not strictly speaking a gameplay mechanic. Circumventing them is NOT GOOD. That's like saying we should be able to slice a com terminal to send tells to someone that has us on ignore.
