Star Wars Galaxies: Early Thoughts, Part 3 (Smuggler discussion)

HanseSOE offered a little update on the Smuggler expertise system before taking off for the weekend:

I've finished designing the trees. I've documented whole new sets of melee attacks (preliminary melee command names before peer review: Brawler Swipe, Pin Down, Dirty Trick, Precision Strike, Dizzy, Crush DOT, Bad Odds DOT - extra melee DOT that pistol only Smugglers do not get - pistol Smugglers get a disarm called "Break the Deal" instead). I've done a damage balance pass over pistol special attacks and melee special attacks (without weapons). Next week art requests get sent off and data entry begins... Joy!

Have a great weekend, folks!

HanseSOE later predicted two weeks, minimum, before the expertise system would be at a stage where he could show it off for discussion. For more on the Smuggler discussion, check out HanseSOE's earlier discussions click here and here.
