Smuggler Archive

So, when are they ( or just some ambitious player), start up a mafia type guild. I'm talking Smugglers/Bh's only!

I hope one day the devs can do something for us like has been promised for two years. Maybe smuggling missions from planet to planet (you get to skim the items and cash based on level) that increase your rank with a "Family" of some sort.

You could have the jabbas and valerians and im sure there are many more including player ones.

I really love the idea of having to do actually criminal related activities.

These could be risky, for example:

1. objective of a low level mission is to pick up and deliver a briefcase full of cash.

here's the catch. Not only can BH and Smugglers attempt to intercept you but maybe create a whole new profession of some kind of Peace Officers.

Now for this to work, There would have to be a fairly complex network of snitches in every city. You could have the snitches give you tip offs as to where you could intercept the guy doing his mission. I believe this could work because the missions could be set up for speeder only, starship only and no hypering or shuttling. Most people will do the straight line for their target so depending on your ability to use your snitches, they can give you a WP somewhere along the route where you could to set up an ambush based on your targets ETA.

Peace Officers : their jobs would be to try and keep the smugglers from doing their jobs (players and of course NPC's would be critical). To keep better informed, members of the same Peace officer guilds could have maybe some kind of Guild Only messages that "you have been tipped off that a smuggler has left Mos Eisley with illegal goods. Please contact your "snitch" immediately to attempt interception." Each guild would have their own missions with say a different frequency than the other guilds to prevent 100 officers going after some poor spice runner.

Am I the only one who thinks this would just be freakin awesome?

Imagine the crime syndicate guilds that would spring up and the Regulator guilds to stop them.

And the Theme parks would rule.

Forward this to anyone who cares unless you think im full of crap ....
