I would like the ability to negate the effect of faction penalties for the master smuggler. I just finished the quests for lady Valarian, and now it seems that my chances of ever getting into Jabba's palace are all but gone as it stands now. (5000 valarian, -5000 jabba)

Nah, I thought the same thing. I thought working for one of the other actually affected my character... all it did was make whoever I had the -5000 with attack on site. Originally I did Valarian's missions. Once you get way up there she gives you several thousand creds per mission. Jabba is mainly a loot guy. Anyhow when Death Watch came out, I was bummed I couldn't get in because I couldn't talk to Boba Fett. So I basically ran around Tatooine killing Valarians. All you need is like +100 on Jabba faction to enter the palace, and a couple hours to do his quests. It's really not that hard.


Here's the irony regarding these nondescript 'factions'. I am currently -5000 Valarian, 5000 Jabba, and -5000 Hutt. Try to figure that out. I guess Jabba loves me but every other Hutt can't stand me. =)

Perhaps this could be solved by allowing Master smugglers to buy points for other factions, at a severely reduced price from rebel or imperial points of course.

I could see them adding something along the lines of...

Max negative faction limits:

Underworld 1: -4000
Und 2: -3000
Und 3: -2000

Und 4: -1000
Master: 0

So a master has enough connections not to get down into negatives. Could be interesting.....


PS Im a dabbler this has probably be mentioned 1000x times.

I like your idea Izumi. Buying and selling just sucks in my opinion.

I guess it's a good idea, but they should make these other factions really matter. From what I gathered, having lots of negatives only makes that factions NPCs attack you, and that's really not that dangerous for most of us.

From my experience we need to have a Master Smuggler box b4 we can add to it...


IMO we never have had one

We need the Master Smuggler box to say things like "Master Smuggler has a better chance at slicing" before we get anything added to it.

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

Han Solo did not have underworld, then..... That bounty Jabba put on Han, it was a biggie.
