Now that non-frs jedi are a 1:1 power level with non-jedi the best solution is to make this a volentary element of the game. Allow each jedi to mark themselves as pvp enabled or disabled.

You have to look at this from a Jedi POV and not just the BH one. Prior to 20, the Jedi names were being provided on the terminals, this meant it was easy to be able to form up gank squads and unfairly take on Jedi with your uber krayt pistols and your LS resistant armor, back then it was at a point where it was literally unfair to hunt a Jedi under those situations. The removal of names means that the BHs don't get everything handed to them on a plate and that gank squads take far too long to assemble now and aren't worth the effort.
A Mutually benefitial solution for this would be to return names to the terminals, yet at the same time remove all trace of Jedi xp loss, that way BHs get their credits and Jedi don't end up wasting their time.
Simple solution, bring back SABER TEF. That way if you want to show off in a crowded place you will most likely get killed. One more thing bring back XP loss for any death, PvP, PvE.
Yes, because thats VERY fair for both groups of players (/sarcasm off). BHs who hunt not for the credits are griefers, my solution SHOULD benefit everyone.
I really hope this offline jedi thing gets fixed in Pub 21. It's really annoying. I don't mind any of the other stuff.
A Jedi is in his house. That's his decision.
A Jedi is on Kash. Only the best BHs go down there, it's like Yoda hiding on Degoba. I have no problem with that. If I was really determined I'd figure out how to get down there. (Especially since those guys are probably more my speed)
But all of the wasted time with offline jedi... man. That's gotta be fixed. (Oh yeah, and the seeker droids not giving a name thing, too.)

BH's should be red dots when they come up not blue. The Jedi should be allowed to attack the BH's first also with our low DPS this gives an unfair advantage to the BH's uber guns and Armor.
No they shouldn't. That would give away our element of surprise. Sure, you can't strike first but you'll be able to eat/drink/pop whatever you need to insure our demise.

Yesterday I hit the terminals84 times and here are the results
I fight 2 Jedi and kill both Jedi they are both over 221K
22 Jedi are reported back to be on Kash
10 Jedi are in a structure afk
50 Offlines
So out of a full day of playing and hitting the terminals 84 times I get to fight 2 Jedi. If I was a the casual player I would get to fight a Jedi approximately once a week.
Now I can go through Theed and see tons of Jedi now. There is no fear to being a Jedi now, heck I even see Jediforce meditating in front of the BH terminals, or just running around and killing the local thugs in Kadaara.
Is this really how its supposed to be? Out of 84 visits to the terminals I get to fight two Jedi? And Jedi can run freely where ever they want without any fear?
No, this isn't how it's supposed to be. My question to the dev team is this: Even if they fix the bug with terminals, you still only got to hunt 2 jedi. The rest were either AFK or on Kash.
So the BUG with the terminals is the obvious fix. But what about the AFK'ers?
Since they've already stated there's nothing to do for Kash. Then my recommendation is that if they are on Kash, then list that location on the terminal or don't even put them on the terminal when they're on Kash. Then when they leave kash, a bonus should be added to the payout ON THE TERMINAL to show that this player was on Kash, and because he was, the BH is going to get an extra 50k or so for taking this Jedi down.
Let the Jedi be safe on Kash, but make them pay for it when they're off the planet. 
lol
Is this a serious post?

Real BH in my terms = one that actually ground out BH, especially before pub 9, vehicles, shuttles, etc like I did. Also I ground out 3 BHs without ever slicing bases or AFK grinding, veteran BHs are the "real BH".

The big problem I have is that Jedi Are supposed to be rare and difficult to get. I received an email the other day with Publsih 20 that said that I could become a jedi and it would be mysterious journey and difficult.
Now if they are sticking with that statement I have a big problem with it because they are not mysterious since everyone knows how to get one, and the grind is easy. It is easier and quicker to grind a jedi now than it was to grind up a 250 skillpoints template back at launch.
There was perma death and saber tef back the and I think they were excellent ideas and should be put back in place. Saber tef will remove jedi from NPC cities which will allow the need to BH's to go out and hunt them in the wild
