had one also appear inside the wall of the house, i could target him but but got the "can't see target" when i tried to fire. my medic droid could would attack on command but not inflict any damage because he couldn't quite reach him. might be an idea to carry your bomb droids with you on npc missions just in case you get this happening.

So they would engage you if you are a combatant? Because chances are theres no recruiter within 30 second riding distance to the mark. Also does that work on the mark that shows up as "a commoner"?

Every mission I've done (60+ so far), they have never aggro'd me before I did. All of those were on leave. However, when I went near one as a combatant, it aggrod on it's own after a few seconds.


Excellent post! This'll help me kill a lot of white cons

Hopefully this will work. I've had 2 of the white marks and a no show during my last mission run. That made 3 bugged missions out of 5 that day.

UPDATE:

I just confirmed this works. I had a white mark outside Theed. As my BH is an Imperial, I went into Theed and went SF, rolled back, got the "?" over the marks head and prepared for a scrap. I was able to get my money and the 500th Delicate Trigger Assembly from these marks.....where's my BH armour schems?

/bow /bow /bow you are my hero!!!

This in fact works - woohoo!!!


Although it did give me a disturbing thought - what if this is the precursor for making Bounty Hunters and Jedi be declared Combatant / Special Forces permanently?



Well, I left Dec. 3rd and like I promised I came back to give you another chance.
So Sony, impress me with the new system - not good enough, back to WoW 3/06 !
I am back again 3 months later giving you 1 last chance.
Looks like I will be staying, keep up your hard work.
zzzzz - cancelled - zzzzz - again - zzzzz - someone wake me up from this nightmare

I have had two of my npc bounties attack other people who are combatants also and one was white conned the other was yellow.The yellow one let us both attack it while the white con who attacked a passer by while i was filling out the report didnt.I got both paydays but didnt get the loot.The guy who got attacked by the yellow con offered the loot but he did most the work beforeI got there so I told him to keep it

I dont think you need to be combatant, because marks auto-aggro the BH once you get close even when they arent white.
