Vic,

Work pistol to 4 then focus on unarmed exp to 4.
I did it the other way. Unarmed first then pistol, reason being is that you'll need to use the pistol for 2 trees in smuggler. I tried it the other way on a different server and it seemed a pain to switch to unarmed after achieving the pistol prereqs for novice sumggler. But that was w/o the use of marcos though. Do those macros make that much of a difference? I'm not much on macros...Just curious because its highly unlikely I'll do smuggler again =).
O and as for smuggler slicing was the most difficult thing to get through. If you can buy plenty crates of knives and clamps if you can afford it. Slicing terminals is free but the best way to shoot up to slicing weapons is slicing containers. But Vic's links are great and go into more detail check them out Baslisks. Good Luck with smuggler!
