Dathan Surehand Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 How do you think espionage will be handled? If you declare yourself Imperial, but are spying for the Rebels, will that effect your faction points, or rating? I can only imagine sabotage could be a vital weapon, but it could also be difficult if the game automatically tracks points alloted for faction affiliation. Hook me up info-Gods.

Xx_Patman_xX Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I doubt espinoage between factions will be common, even if you are overt for a specific faction you most likely wont be informed on plans or anything else worth giving to the enemy. Espionage between PA's will be a different story . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Vessen Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Not sure how this will work, I guess you could just smuggle info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there will be spying like that, maybe roleplaying spying. But the spying will probally be done through a Npc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opa Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Spying between PA's Is possible since anyone can join a PA, and this will probly happen..THis is were PA bounty hunters might come in handy And track some suspicious characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dathan Surehand Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 Just like hackers getting around firewalls and such, intelligent gamers WILL find ways to spy regardless of only allowing gamers to join one PA (I think I read that someplace). It will take the political aspects of this game into a very deep intricated web...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Vessen Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I'd spy on the rebels. They are too weak to go up against me when I have the empire behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie Darko Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I think spying would be AWESOME. Whenever I play games where you can develope your character I am always a stealthy, spying type of character, so I think spying would be amazing. Sneaking around the Emperial offices under-cover. One approaches you and asks for identification....luckily you bagged the guy down the hall and took his I.D. and you masked your appearance. Phew...your heart beggins beating again....and you continue down the hall......I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dathan Surehand Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 Yeah, it will be interesting to see how they incorporate a spying element into SWG. But it seems like you will have to fashion your "spy" out of other skill trees.. Anyone have any good ideas as to what type of actual skills from the known skill trees would assist in building a spy?

Donnie Darko Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I haven't the slightest idea. BUT!, I'm sure when the NDA is lifted there will be tons of custom made professions made from other proffession....another cool aspect of the game seeing how you can get whatever you want from any skill tree as long as you fill the requirments...so maybe when the NDA is lifted I will ponder a new profession.
