(OOC) *Oteri: Someone roll a free race with 15+ lck for me.

(OOC) *Rakun: I can do its.

(OOC) *Rakun: I have over 9000 luck

(OOC) *Oteri: I’d really appreciate being lent some of that, Rakun. I only want 150 smuggling. I’m not greedy.

Why is it that I rolled 123 smuggling, when the showrace clearly states I should have a minimum of 130? Why is it that Direz rolled 118 smuggling on a smuggling main Corellian? Why do you hate smugglers? Why would you give us pirate ship and strip ship, and not let any of us achieve it?

Sounds like you’re upset. I’d piss in their snow and shit on their planets if I were you.

This is something I have brought up multiple times in the past.

No one seems to care.

I think the lck roll needs to be tweaked a little…. Lck seems to be as hard as frc to get

I keep telling you, it’s because showrace shows the levels based on BASE 15 STATS. So if you have 15 stats across the board, including luck, you will nail those ranges perfectly. However, since the lck stat is based on a roll, whereas the others are predetermined and shown, and that roll is between 3(maybe 6?) and 18, landing a 15+ is pretty small. Prior to the change, it was based on a base luck of 10, which was much easier to achieve.

Just tweak that 15 to a 12(making it go to a 10 might give characters too many smuggling levels) for luck, and everything should mesh fine. Either that, or change the level code in showrace to go above 150 to ensure a race gets 150 regardless of their stats. This wasn’t an intentional “Hate on smugglers”, it was just a side affect that no one realized until it was a little too late and no one’s bothered to fix.

Motion to submit a proposal to move LCK base to 12? All in favor say aye

It probably isn’t as simple as changing a 15 to a 12, unfortunately.

I sent an email to the staff concerning this. I recommended giving smuggler mains a +3 LCK on their roll as part of class benefits (so rolling as a smuggler and mainchanging removes the +3 or adds it when you switch TO smuggler). This would allow for higher smuggling for smuggler mains, while keeping the rest of the classes right where they’re at.

Why not just give smuggler mains more smuggler levels? Change a 60 to a 90 or something.

I think Gathorn is trying to say it’s not as easy as that

I have no issues with Smuggling levels as-is.

Not everyone can be Han Solo. Sorry to ruin your dreams, Oteri.

But just about every bounty hunter can be Boba Fett? No, bullshit. Give us a few more smuggling levels, for smuggler mains only, and let us use the skills you’ve given us.

I only have an issue with this mechanic when a character chooses a smuggler main.. its a really sad day when you roll a character for a certain class, and he can’t even do what you intend (especially a damn corellian smuggler)

I’m not as fluent with game mechanics as most people, but whatever needs to be done to give smuggler mains a chance at getting something above 130… do it. Please.
