Or if a Jedi was in a yacht in space you could dock his ship and fight him in his Yacht. I dont know, just a thought.

That would still be awesome too!!!

Wouldn't really be a space fight, but neither side could exploit via "base" or "duel with buddy"...

Would definately have to take the "escape pod" offline... lol... can see it now...

"Jedi abandons his Yacht to a Bounty Hunter to save his skin... Bounty Hunter satisfied with Second Place prize of a Yacht, minus one escape pod!!"

LOL

I like the smugglerspace bounties, that would be cool.

I'm guessing those o you suggesting this have not tried space PVP.

I happen to be a highly accomplished pilot, in both PvE and PvP and let me assure you space bounties are a terrible idea. Space pvp is decided based on who gets the first successful hit on the enemy ship. My JSF will disable any POB ship with an elite shield in one salvo. It will destroy an A wing in one shot.

Any well equipped vessel will get a one shot kill. Any poorly equipped vessel will get a 2 shot kill.

Space pvp is very fast and very twitchy. It all comes down to two things 1) seeing the enemy first and 2) hitting them successfully once.

This is why space jedi bounties will not take place.

guy above 100% correct, all you would have to do is get a missile lock on the jedi and there finished without even being able to fight back, which is totally rediculous.

jedi/space tef is a bad idea which will never happen

Totally agree with this..... until they reduce space PVP damage down to 5-10% space bounties wouldn't be fun for anyone.

Read the posts above!

If you want bounties in space, that means:

- Jedi will be able to use their special abilities in space (or a different set of abilities making them 1.5 times stronger than all other players). People moan about Jedi unbalancing GCW, dont call for this one - in GCW, the 1 vs 1 imbalance can be countered by well-rounded groups, you cant do that in space since there are no specialized professions in space.

- Space combat is decided by who lands the first hit. Since BHs have first strike, they could just line up Jedi until they have a 99.9% chance to get that hit.

Got to agree.

Nothing can counter 2 or 3 Mark II spacebombs launched as a first strike or, for that matter, a salvo of shots from any well equiped ship.

Also, there's the consideration of multi-player ships. What happens if you attack a jedi in space who is flying a yacht/nova courier/yt-1300/decimator/krayt/aggressor/y-wing/ARC? If they're the pilot do you also kill the crew/passengers? What happens if they're a gunner on a POB ship? Would you be able to attack someone else's ship simply beacuse a jedi is on board?

It's a nice idea, but due to the way that space combat works (and the first-strike ability of BH) it could never be implemented.

They wouldn't have to make them 1.5x stronger in space. We SHOULD be able to track and kill in space. Perhaps they could put in an option to land if the bounty was on your tail, so you could fight on ground. All I can say is I don't fear any BH that were to come after my jedi in space (and I have both, jedi, and BH) Space is easy to grind..parts are even easier to get ahold of. It would give so much more attention to JTL thats been washed away. Oh, and did I mention would make it easier to prevent those AFK jedi in space They would think twice about doing so if they knew at any moment someone like me with a 4870. max dmg cannon were after them

never gonna hapen for the reasons above. not to mention, jedi who is space 1st tier vs someone who is an ace = no chance ever.

and as stated above, space is 1 shot kill. if you are fine with that and bh having first strike, then all you want is a "kill jedi now" button.

To offer a somewhat useful suggestion rather than just dismissing the idea, let me throw this out for consideration:

I would consider space bounties fair IF:
-Jedi, regardless of Tier (and faction), are certed for the Jedi Starfighter.
-Bounty Hunters may only use a KSE Firespray to hunt jedi with
-First strike is removed and Jedi/BH are somehow perma overt to eachother in space, removing the first strike option and allowing a jedi to see her hunter if she's paying enough attention.

This would be fairly well balanced, as it would take a VERY good firespray pilot to track and kill a pilot in a JSF (small and disgustingly fast).
