Ok so the BH and the Smuggler are supposed to be the free roaming, adventurous spirit with no close ties to their faction. But you are tied to either Empire as a BH or the Republic as a SSmuggler. So since a lot of people want a new class here is my thought for something i REALLY hope you devs would put into consideration...
A SPACE PIRATE CLASS.
Pirates pirates have always been a huge part of the Star Wars universe and we all want a new class right? Why not bring in the TRUE for hire, free-roaming spirit? I think it would be a great class to play and after you finish on your homeworld and you are at the option to choose your advance class you choose your faction as well. Possibly even halfway through the storyline make a climax to the story where you can choose to switch sides or something.
Along with this class you could add in Weequay, Duros, and maybe Nautolan and Togruta. The first two becaus emany are commonly pirates and the last two due to such high demand.
With the addition of the space raiders it would be really cool if you guys looked into PVP space combat and adding to that portion. Also one thing i think would be AWESOME to have in this game would be some way to do space raids on the other factions. Making a part of the fleet where you can attack and have people engaged in space first to get down the shields then you are able to launch boarding parties. To me i think expanding on the capabilities of space like that would add so much more to this game.
