1.NPC's are stupid and theres ways to lose them and exploit to escape.
2.It would give you all something to chase besides Jedi and add content to your profession which is a good thing.
3.Players are Unpredictible, and having that Unpredictibility in the form of a BH on the Smugglers tail would be alot of Fun!
My obvious reason for posting this on your Forums guys is very Simple,we want you all to get as many Hunters as you can on these forums to get behind us and Support the Smugglers Community in getting ((Player)) Bounty Hunters in the picture.We belive that leaving you all out and throwing in a NPC BH is complete and total Garbage and it has to change...Please leave your feedback on this matter below and let yourself be heard!!!
love the idea. and ill /sign for it but id still want BH npcs instead of Player BH's at 1st, then when they fixxed the system and everything slowly introduce player Bh's, this way smugglers will get a "feel" of being hunted to a extent, other wise you may take 1 mission and get hit by a PC/BH and feel that youve jumped into the deep end and may not like it.
but still seeing its here /sign
why?
jedi didnt get that

Why not? Its hard to find a smuggler now as it is. If getting killed by a player BH will run off a few more (and I'm not saying it will, I'm saying it might..) why not let them get accustomed to it first? A Jedi isn't as likely to up and drop Jedi because of being hunted, a smuggler would find it much simpler to give up on being a smuggler and re-template.
Besides, smugglers are generally good people and actually very nice to have around.At least in my opinion.There's alreadyseveral thousand Obi-Wan's running around my server, time to see a ton of Han Solo's and Chewbacca's running around too. Again, thats my opinion.

lol had to be you aeschyl 
yes but smugglers dont get 25%-85% saber block+ great defences (defender proffesion) or the power to instantly intim everyone in area (powers) or heal endlessly back to full health (Mhealer)
or how about avoid incap?
the smuggler comunity is asking for a rather big thing that can be rather stressful on players at times and i for 1 would like them to know what they are getting them selves into fully being slowly incorpirated into a player based hunting system would ease them into what its like. otherwise youll get a ton of eager Smugglers getting their mission's and getting hit by BH's then they may or may not come back to the boards and then whine (not saying anyone will but it is a possible) as it stands the jedi/BH relationship isnt that great and we really dont need smugglers hateing us as well.
the reason jedi didnt "get that" is because bounty Hunters was a form of population controll back in the days of perma-death so that the servers was filled with tons of jedi and as many of you may or may not rember it was a rather rare thing to see a jedi let alone 2 of them fight.

Saying how the devs are trying to make this game more "star warsy", I hope they do this cause in the movies smugglers were more likely to be hunted than Jedi (in episodes 4,5 & 6), actually I never even saw a Jedi hunted in the movies. Darth Vadar did make a trap for Luke Skywalker but no actual bounty was placed on his head (as far as the movie tells us). Well I personally would be very happy getting to hunt someone other than an easy npc or Jedi, like many have said before, we are not Jedi Hunters. Yes there were bounties placed on Jedi in the old days but that was the "old days" in the times of the republic and when the Jedi order had an abundance of Jedi.

if they do this idea there should be a Bounty but a DEAD OR ALIVE clause in the contract.
We should be able to tag you as alive and deliver you to the person like JABBA.
Id love to have smuggler bounties. So im for it as well.

I don't think they have closed the door on smuggler bounties, the Smuggler revamp is still in concept and I would fault them for want to get everything working nice before adding player bounties.
