Don't get me started.
1) We shouldn't have to dabble.
2) Why do I see BH TKM's?
3) I saw something about trophy's from a jedi kill, that would be cool.
4) LLC=Useless
5) No point in going MBH

1) Specific armour/clothing for MBH with LS resists.
2) Incorporate rifles into BH(Especially since i'm a master rifleman :-) )
3) Speed up the delay for switching weapons
4) Add more BH specific weapons, all we get is the LLC. Every other combat profession gets a lot more than just one class specific weapon(with the exception of tk)
5) With respect to player bounties - I agree we should be able to hunt smugglers since what they do is illegal in the eyes of the empire. I think IMP NPC's should put high ranking rebels that have been scanned and identified as rebels on the terms(or at least after they have been scanned several times). There should also be some way for the rebs to do the same so there is no bias between the 2 factions.

To all you Boba Fett wannabes, give me one good reason why a TKM cannot be a bounty hunter.

AllowBH's to be unique. Do this by making BH a supplement to other combat classes instead of its own combat class. Allow for ranged and melee BHs. Let the bulk of our combat ability come from other classes, with the BH line giving special abilities that are not combat related (i.e traps, disguises) and combat specials that can be used byall combat classes.

I personally don't want to be Boba Fett. I have a slight bit more imagination.

Melee or ranged, a bounty hunter is just that: A bounty hunter. We have all told upset jedi that we get the job done no matter how we do it. This principle extends to using a preferred combat style. Regardless of combat preference, we get the job done the way we know how be it by shooting or swinging.

Now, degrading the BH profession by reducing it to a "line" in other professions is an appauling idea: You remove the Bounty Hunter profession. We becomepistol/carbine/rifle/TK/Polearm/fencing experts with bounty hunting skills and cease to be bounty hunters. That just can't happen. If it did, there wouldn't be a proud BH profession, instead, we become dabblers in BH...which is lame and demeaning. tman, you call for us to be unique, yet you want the profession to be a supplement. I'm not understanding that idea. We are about as unique now as it gets. The ability to hunt players is at the top...no one else has this priviledge.

Keep the BH profession whole. We all need to be accepting of different combat styles even if we don't agree. We are a proudunion of warriors...sneaky little double-crossing warriors. Don't let something as small as personal preference divide us.

Suggestion maybe better suited for Politician but allowing cities to place NPC spynet informats in cities would be nice.

hehe, /agree

How useless is it putting a BH term in a player city when the nearest Spynet Op is at least 1k away, with a BH term somewhere a lot closer?

And Tanks, I can't find the "BH and the state of the game" post anywhere...can I get a link?

My top 5 issues.

1. HAM costs on carbine specials are simply way too high.
2. We should have a skill which reduces the Weapon Switching Delay time. I have Pistols, Carbines, and LLCs in my arsenal but I only ever use Carbines due to the delay.
3. A ranged deathblow should be a necessity for any self-respecting ranged BH.
4. We should have some form of countering skill against sabre-block.
5. LLC Lightning Single 1 & 2 specials range seems to be completely bonkers.

I think that's about it for me.

Why make reading the forums a requirement?
I'd prefer to be hunting marks than reading forums, to be quite honest.

What I would like to see is a quest for say, a jedi knight NPC that a MBH takes out - the reward should be a set of untradeable BH armour. The current drop should continue, but for those of use who don't have a spare 30+ mil in the bank would be able to get a suit. This means that those who aren't MBH's or can't manage to kill this NPC will still be able to get their hands on it.

oh, you mean move PC Jedi bounties to the master box? I agree
