Bounty Hunter Archive

i got a pretty funny one, was to me at least.

i was out stalking a mark, i like to be completely unseen, so i sneak in from 350m out, pop burst run, go prone and use cover to sneak into range. i got radar up and i'm watching the dots on my screen, i manuver around and see my mark, but i notice the lair they were fighting was almost dead, so i knew they would be moving before i got a chance to make my move, so i get into a safe position to make sure they don't run over the top of me and give away my position, they run off to the next mission and they leave my radar screen, i figure im screwed. right before i jump up, i notice dots on my screen...there was more than before but i figure they jsut added a new person...being that i was still under cover and i would have popped up on radar, i couldn't launch another seeker droid...so i sneak in...the whole time hitting tab to try and get my target...with no luck...i get closer, and i see like 4 lightsabers, and my mark is nowhere to be seen...i just spent a good 30-45 mins stalking the wrong group lol....once i realized i just wasted my time, i decided to have some fun and i popped up out of nowhere on the group of jedi and ran in the middle of them yelling "BOO" they scattered and i laughed and rode off on my speeder

On Starsider, about a year ago, me and two friends made a quick name for ourselves in a week. In one week, we killed 20-some Jedi. We changed the way they hunted at the Geo Caves. But anyways, two stories come from this week of hunting that I'll never forget...

One story starts with a Jedi I know who was talking trash. He was saying how no BH could kill him. This was all on Ventrilo. So I took it upon myself to prove him otherwise... mainly because his gloating got annoying. Anyways, me and my old hunting companion VonFranco grabbed his mission, and moezied on over to the Geo Caves... since that's where all the Jedi grinded back then.

Now, the Ventrilo channel that connected me and VonFranco by voice wasn't working, so I was in the other Ventrilo channel, where my mark was still gloating about him taking down a group of BH's. Me and VonFranco sat very patiently at the top of the hill outside of the cave entrance. We watched our target via /tar (jediname), waiting for his buffs to wear off and for him to come out. About a half an hour of waiting proved worth it. His buffs started to drop... first his action went. When that happened, but slapped on force run and booked it out of the cave. As soon as he reached the entrance, he was met with KD shots from me and VonFranco. We began to pound away on him with our mind DOT weapons and eyeshot. After about 5 minutes, he was done for.

And then the funny part happened. The Ventrilo channel opened up with screaming. I'm not talking about bitching or yelling... he was literally screaming to the point of his voice cracking. He was screaming that there was no way he could have been killed by two BH's. We must have been cheating. Then he was screaming about me using the Vent. channel to find him... and I simply replied "well, we have droids that do that for us...". I'm pretty sure he learned his lesson that day.

The next funny story is pretty short. Me and VonFranco were being payed to hunt one of the most annoying, trash talking Jedi on the server. We tracked this Jedi to his city. He was pretty much waiting for us. It was him, two other Jedi, and about 6 or so non-Jedi professions in his little posse. In our "contract", which was for the leader of one of the biggest imperial pa's on Starsider, our goal was to kill him and deliver a message. No more, no less... So we looked at it like a suicide mission, where only killing him was important.

So we open up fire on our Target, instantly being attacked by his posse. Me and VonFranco take our target out in a matter of minutes. After he's down, we DB him and deliver the message. Then the fun part comes in... cleaning up his Jedi protection posse. I start running aroudn the city, being followed by about 5 or so people shooting at me. I break out my mind fire DOT weapon and begin to spam Fan Shot at one of the guys chasing me... and to mine, and there, amazement, all five of them were stuck with the mind fire. After that happened, they stopped chasing me and scattered throughout the city... where me and VonFranco chased them down and killed every one of them.

In the end, me and my friend survived the 9 against 2 odds.

After that, I got tells calling me an exploiter... saying that with Master BH and Master Pistoleer, I don't have room for Combat Medic. I even got a visit from a CSR who asked, and I simply told him it was because of my mind fire pistol. I got a good chuckle out of the whole situation.
