" I want him alive. NO disintegrations ! "
Sound familiar ? The truth is, MOST high level bounties in the Star Wars universe were not seek and destroy missions. Rather, seek, capture, and deliver missions.
Instead of now, having to sit there and tripple incap the Jedi, what if you could freeze your mark in Carbonite and have it delivered to your employer ?
Discuss.

Ummm im not whining about Jedi. Im looking into ways to make the Bounty Hunter profession more viable and in depth while trying to adhere to the Star Wars timeline.
Currently, all BH missions are redundant. Now with the loss of a viable deathblow, they have become... just silly. And do you think its fun for the Jedi ? Having to go through the process of being tripple encapacitated ? I doubt it.
Simply put, what if there was a way a BH could still complete his mission WITHOUT killing the Jedi ? A way to simulate the Jedi being captured by you after the first incap perhaps ?
Imagine the day when maybe the Bounty Hunter terminal offers seek and destroy and capture missions as well.
Variety is a good thing to have in an RPG grindfest in my opinion.

Thanks T-Dog. Good reply. Im glad you brought that up as I was going to adress it directly.
It wouldnt actually be an entire segment of time where the Jedi would be forced to watch him being transported not being able to play, or whatever. Thats not what I had in mind.
Basically the seek and destroy missions would be lower level and lower paying ones. Bearing in mind that seek and capture missions were the hardest and most rewarded in the Star Wars storyline.
In game mechanics, the BH would have a choice of going for the easy but less rewarding " greif " mission. Or the more challenging hunt that does NOT have to result in a death blow. This is a win win in my opinion for all parties. Even for the Jedi. As being " captured" would result in less xp loss and item decay as well.
Im just trying to use some outside the box thinking to help our situation.

Gdit Stab do you have to call the hunting missions "griefing"!! Killing a Jedi is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT griefing..working as intended...beat it.

LOL dude I put griefing in quotes to show thats NOT what I call it or my opinion of them. But rather what I hear a lot of Jedi saying about it.
Now please.. the capture idea. Anyone ??

Honestly, I think that the kill missions would be harder because of the the db timer. I would have no problem with a little variety besides, then I could hunt my own faction without hearing about it lol. My faction a freeze mission and other is kill.

Yes another good point man. This could help sooth the Bh/faction relation situation when hunting certain Jedi as well.
But they would probably still cry and whine... oh well.

Stop being so literall !! It does not HAVE to be Carbonite. It can be darts or something. The gameplay mechanic is the important thing, not how it is delivered.
