Whether it's a side effect or intended it still screws us if it's true.

Yes this does appear to be happening although it does seem to be a bit sporadic. Please before you start flying off the handle on it let's just hope we get an official word on whether this is a bug or if it is going to be a new feature.

Think about it this way, though. You're a smart jedi.... you only wear your robe and hunt in the corner of Endor farthest from the starport... what are the odds that any dot approaching alone on your radar or milling about the area at the edge of radar range... blue, purple, or red, is anything other than a BH coming to get you? I know Jedi who feign death at the sight of any dot regardless of color. It's a change, yes, but not necessarily a nerf. The main reason I don't like it is the confusion it can cause in regulrar PvP, where you'd have red dots you're not able to attack or tab. I tested this a few times on TC-Bria (pilots were showing up as red when they came back down from space but were not attackable), and it lead to a lot of confusion.

Um I don't see your point. The only real advantage Bounty Hunters have is the element of surprise. Now whether this is a bug or intended doesn't matter it's still happening and taking away the only advantage a Bounty Hunter has. I don't care about the jedi that are hiding in the middle of nowhere this would actually be a good thing cause you can't tell a red PC dot from a NPC dot so it might work to our advantage I'm thinking about the jedi running around in cities being able to get ready or port when they see a BH as a red dot.

I'd say that getting the first attack is also a big advantage.

why wouldn't it matter if its a bug or not? if its a bug then its unintended and you will eventually get a fix. If its not a bug then its intended and you will never get a fix.

Personally I think itsa bug as it seems to only work with opposite faction. That doesn't make much sense.

ok from what I understand this is mainly a prob for factions, just go neutral I know its a pain, but Im a mercenary at heart I'll take money from anyone

So neutral BHers aren't having a problem with this? Hope so - my BH is neutral and will be staying that way.
