I've found proof of smuggler specific missions in JTL.
If your in beta go talk to the Talus space station.
The guy gives an option saying "I'm looking for work."
After picking that he replies to me "Still nothing for you Akiram. I mean... we still don't dare try anything sneaky the way the Empire has been watching us. Imagine, in the Corellia System of all places, being worried about the Empire. This just isn't right..."
Then you get the option to say "They can't maintain a watch like this forever."
The station responds "No, Akiram... I suppose not. I imagine within a month or two they'll relax, and then we will be able to use a person of your talents. No doubt about that!"
Your only choice after that is "I'll check back later."
I've tested this with different combinations of skills and you need at least Underworld I for it to come work.
This proves that even if the missions aren't available now they have it set up so we will be able to get them sometime after launch (hopefully pre-revamp).

Just to wonder have you guys been to the backroom of the Mos Eisley Cantina of late? Inside you will actually find a Smuggler Alliance Leader and his lackey which is a Smuggler Pilot Trainer. Just thought I would let you guys know about this. When you talk to the leader, he tells you to talk to the Trainer. The Trainer in turn tells me that I don't look like a very good pilot and to come back later. So does sound like they are going to do something for us smugglers in the near future.

That's just the neutral/privateer recruiter. Once JTL's released, you can get missions from that guy to start your way up the privateer tree.

He gives you smuggle missions in JTL (Tier 2 and above, I think), although a chef can get and complete them just as well as we can.

Yeah, but you'd think that to join the Smuggler's Alliance, you'd need to at least be a Smuggler...

Well, just because they have some NPC 'conversation' in there doens't mean we'll ever really get anything.
I just deleted my beta files after playing for about 4 weeks. IMO in the last two weeks they have completely screwed it up. But you all be the judge on Wednesday or however soon after that you get to your tier 4 missions and find your Ixiyen can't hold more than 2 Mark IV components making it utterly worthless for the work you have to do.
IMO they have SO much to do on JTL that the combat revamp will be delayed and so will the so-called smuggler revamp...for which there are as yet no design docs even after the false start we had on it pre-publish 9.

The developer's response to that is:
(paraphrased)
"You're not being hired by the Smuggler's Alliance to be a Smuggler. You're being hired by the Smuggler's Alliance to help them with pilot escorts and muscle."
Even though there are missions in the Smuggler's Alliance that actually have you smuggling....

Things like that are precisely why I had my original signature...
