All this speculation has got me perculating.
Pub 21 will probably be hitting Test Center in the next few days. Just trying to post something positive and stir up some excitement.
I've been excited about this for some time now. When you look back at the CU, and the big picture of what has happened. The devs definitely are taking the game in a certain direction. Sure, there has been adjustments here and there. Sure it seems like jedi have gotten a lot of attention. Sure many people hate it, just like they hate the CU. but as long as they have a plan, and don't stray too far from it.This game canbe something to get very excited about.
I guess we'll know in a month if the ship is sinking or someone spilled a bottle of water on the deck.

Better NOT be traps unless you want the Rangers to become totally unglued..Rangers have been pushing for ages to have their traps work on players and if BHs got traps that work on players..well lets just say the howls of anger and frustration will reverberate.
I cannot imagine SOE will let BHs hunt other non-Jedi players..especially considering they made it hard to do that even in a GCW sense and they have already stated policy that they do not want non-consenual PvP amongst the 'normal' professions. It would be cool if they did allow player missions but I wont hold my breath on it. and besides, smugglers would get squashed flat by BHs hands down..a BH thats is geared towards Jedi hunting, well a Smuggler would be pretty squishy in comparison.
As far as a BH ranking system..that would make sense, especially if BH vs Jedi is to be a one on one system. BHs need more than first strike ability to to make this work.
Well Pub 21 sounds like it will be fairly interesting, cant wait to see the TC patch notes when they start to roll out

You've obviously never had a smuggler use last ditch on you. Especially with a BH that wouldn't be able to block a good percentage of the last ditch shots. It isn't squishy.

I suspect itwill be some stupid Jedi NPC bounties. 
Developers are too stupid to do anything that would make this game more like Star Wars and less like Jedi Wars.

Publish 21:
Player Bounties - What this means is when bounty Hunter takes a Jedi mission and fails he then gets a Mission taken out on him for failing.
This is why Master Bounty Hunters get Jedi missions.
They have been talking about this since beta. If it is this then it is another nerf. Dont get excited Just yet.
But what I am hoping for is lootable Player Jedi lightsaber trophies that display a name. But that wont happen with the continual nerf.

That'd mean a bloodbath at the Kaadara terminals as people take missions on the guys next to them...

Yeah, the Devs and their sense of humor - NPC Jedi hunting for BH's from which you can loot high-quality Crystals. The Jedi will effectively call you their Daddy.

I think pub. 21 is going to implement other " Player Bounties", i.e. Smugglers. Tanks said it has to do with moving the missions up to master.. So it would make sense. Besides in pub 20 notes it said " Payer Bounties" not "Jedi bounties".
Oh for fu*ck's sake I hope so. SOE has made it perfectly clear that they don't want their Golden Boys being hunted. I've made my peace with that and am ready to move on to something else.
Sorry no. Tanks stated in the Smugglers forum that he is unaware of any plans for either Player or Smuggler bounties. Anything else is just a rumor.
Sorry.
Damn...LN beat me to it. I guess I shouldn't just read one post after another. I guess it's just my methodical nature.
