The workaround for this problem was to make the marks "yellow". That has been disabled in order to preserve 1 vs 1 BH (and phat lewt).
If you encounter this (and you will), please bug it in game AND post it on Publish 21 feedback thread and here.
I will pass the information, please include:
- NPC location. Naboo 1200, 6167
- NPC level, species, bounty amount. 81, Human, 30,530 credits
- Planet. Naboo
- Galaxy Ahazi
- Time of the day (PST) and date. 2:00 a.m. Aug.13
The more info, the easier it will be to track this down.

Don't even have to do all that work. Going combatant and all.
Just don't use a shuttle or starship after the seeker droid is launched.
Or if on same planet don't take a shuttle or starship after Arkyd droid is launched.
If you're in a situation where you need to use a shuttle, chances are it's because you landed too far from the mark. If you decide to drive all that way, odds are that your target will escape before you arrive... and you're going to be taking a starship again anyways.

Tanks please check this out and forward it this info if you think it would be of any help:
This is in regards to the Bounty Hunter missions and the white con targets. The work around for this seems to be the player has to be combatant and then move near the npc target, where the ? !pops up and they attack you and turn yellow. The problem seems to be that they are marked as either rebel / imperial, as they attack other npcs of the opposing faction as well as other players that are of the opposing faction that do not have the mission.
Case in point:
Server: Starsider, city of Kadaara
I pick up a mission at Bounty Hunter terminal and go to spynet operative. Someone elses mission is attacking the local imperials, and wiping them out. I was on leave at the time, go to my mission and it is white to me. I then go to Keren and go combatant, travel back and my target then agros me and I complete my mission. I then procede back to Kadaara, get a new mission and head to the spynet operative. The other persons mission is still attacking the imperials in the area. I walk past, the question mark goes over there head and npc starts to attack me. I wasn't prepared and didn't realize it right away as I was talking to the Spynet guy getting my signature. I get incapped before I can get away, get up heal and regen to full strength. I was hitting the npc and it was down to half health. I go to finish it off, now the npc name that was white is now red, I attack - invalid target. I start to walk past again, and it attacks meallowing me to fight back andproceed to finish the npc off. I was able to loot ( got foraged bugs, and an illegal booster core - so I know it was a BH mission ) got the regular xp (rifle,combat, healing) but did not receive the BH xp, or payout.
Other details - NPC was named Cujira (or something close)and was level 81 single silver<>.
To me it appears that the problem with the white cons has to do with something in the gcw, hopefully this can give you a little more insight into what the problem is.

The target did not update until my 5th return from my droid. It then jumped about 1.5k to where I found it as a white mark.

I read this after I posted my above post. I tried this and it the con question marked then attacked. I was an Imperial on leave, went to a near by imp base, changed to combtant and was then able to finished the mission.
