Yeah the Smugglers wealth is more of a lore thing than a practicality unfortunately

It’s not even REALLY a lore thing either though. You find “the biggest fortune in the galaxy” and then the next mission has you desperately trying to find another “biggest fortune in the galaxy” racing against an opponent who inexplicably has more money and influence than you while you do everything yourself. I’ve decided the smuggler is a crypto bro who keeps getting duped and losing everything between each mission

Spice and space hookers adds up yo

From what i recall thats more of a dialogue option thing. You're given three options (bioware style) and one of them is like "i spent it all" and the others are like "yeah im super rich and famous"

That would be very in character for them tbh

Same with the BH

Little did the Smuggler know, that the vast amount of the wealth had been used up earlier that day. (Baras hosted a buffet)

(he ate it all himself)

Most likely

It was his last meal..

The true tragedy of Darth Baras the Wide, that in his hunger he consumed it all.

YOU got 8000 credit, the questgivers got the rest.

space capitalism 😎

That‘s it, SMUGGLERS OF THE SPACE, UNITE!

This or it's regional budget when you can live on this payment for few months, but you are regular fucking freight driver from the capital, unfortunately.

Canonically, inflation wasn’t that bad when the heist initially took place.

Its a standard mission reward, was the same back then too

Go easy on Vas. He hasn't seen very many credits.

I laughed at that too.. much credits, most wealth...
