Smuggler Archive

I have been doing a LOT of searching through past interviews, forum posts, and magazine articles looking for the place where ANYONE said we would be able to slice ship parts in Jump to Lightspeed.

I have yet to find anything.

If someone knows where this was stated, please post a link to it, or give a quote and the source of that quote please.I'm beginning to think we all just 'assumed' we would be able to do that, but it was never told to us we would be able to....

There are missions in which you "deliver an item while hostiles attack you" in every profession. I still don't consider [Smuggler's Alliance] pilots to be Smugglers, nor 'Smuggling' - at least not any more than Rebel Pilots or Imperial Pilots might sometimes "smuggle", with a lower-case s - JFreeman - 10/6/04

seeing as theres like...no info on the new professions themselves and even less on the components they make...i doubt it has been officially posted anywhere....probably just an idiot thinking he's cool for making things up and having ppl talk about them....kinda like Bush and the weapons of mass destruction bit

Bush: *slices terminal so that 1% chance of weapons of MDnow = 87% chance of weaponsof MD "Well that's godo enough for me"

Tempest - Wrangler
Valcyn - Teby

Yep, I'm beginning to agree with you. Even I had been saying to other people that the Smuggler profession would get to slice ship components, but I'm not finding that information anywhere.

Anyone else? Can anyone find any word that was said which Smugglers would get to slice ship components?

I performed a similar search...because I thought I remembered talk of us being able to do this...and now that I read your post, I know that i'm not imagining this.

Deleted maybe, I wouldnt be surprised...I'll continue searching and will post if anything comes up.

Smugglers will not be able to slice ship parts in JTL sorry guys

That's the point of the thread, dude...they were trying to find where/if someone ever said anything about slicing ship parts to improve them.

I'm sure it was heavily implied.. I just can't for the life of me remember when..

On the other hand, we might have just convinced ourselves it was implied. But then, who could blaim us, given the lack of communication from them and the lack of.. well, anything, done to us in-game. It wouldn't be surprising if we imagined/assumed we'd get at least something out of JtL that's smuggler specific, espcially after so much of 'Oooh, Smuggler's really a space profession'.

Ah, my dream Smuggler package with patches or JTL/expansions:

--ability to have hidden areas of star ships, even if nothing but storage space

--bonus to slip past space patrols/check points/etc

--pistol holster added to toon

--ability to slice ship parts (makes sense to me!)

--ability to slice into some sort of galactic computer/navigation system and find locations of ships, space NPCs, cargo, etc

--Smuggler specific space missions (deliver a load of spice for Jabba to such n such....easy ones just get it there, more difficult, higher paying missions you run into a little trouble along the way...

Just hit Master Smuggler this weekend, and LOVE it.....I've done Bounty Hunter twice and it just never did anything for me, although I it pained me to give it up. Smuggler, thus far, has been FUN...and I hope for more fun...

I do recall in a post seeing that ships would be able to be altered Illegaly. I took that as We Smugglers getting a crack at it. I can't findt he post but it was out there.

They mentioned alot of stuff about altering looted pieces and reverse engineering them. Which is going to be the province of the Ship crafters if I remember right. That's about it as far as ship components go.

Slicing ship components was something many of us wanted, that made sense. Yet was never said to be going in, as far as I'm aware of.

So after this news it seemsthat itisn't coming to fruition at this time.

I probably haven't looked at this profession forum for 6 months or more, and what I've learned is, that smugglers are the dev doormat, been a smuggler for over a year, and in all that time we've gotten ranged and melee damage mitigation one, more storage space would be cool, our own language would be cool, slicing your own personal badass weapon that is untradeable would be cool, but if you want answers to what they are finally going to do with us, you'd be just as well talking to the bum in the stovepipe hat who yells about dwarves stealing his mind. Personally I'm thinking of just posting I want this, this and this every other day, and You devs made us wait for any sort of remote improvement since launch, the revamp better be good! every day between. That and threatening letters every friday to SOE.
