Isay keep the kill missions on Jedi and put the capture ones on NPCs. Have them be around the same credit payout. 150k-200k.

A capture mission actually sounds like a good idea. Along with the "Death Blow" option, there could be a "Capture" option too.


No need to have the BH tow the helpless Jedi anywhere, just have the Jedi lose a small amount of exp to simulate a capture, insteads of the whopping exp loss they would get for getting killed,and the BH gets the full payoff as opposed to say maybe half the Bounty for Killing the Jedi.


The Jedi dont have to worry about dying, losing huge amounts of exp, decay of items, and yet still pay a small price for being captured.


The Bounty Hunters have more of a reason to take the Jedi alive due to the Higher pay if the Jedi is captured alive rather than killed.


Just a thought.

Ok I'm goign to try and expand on this idea... wait...



Have this only for npc bounties.


When you get your mark knocked down or half way down in health (put thosekds to use for somethin special )you can apply restraints to him and then he can be putthem inyour datapad.


When you get him or her in your datapad you get a new wp and it tells you what planet it is on and you have to get it to the that waypoint and to the npc that is waiting there for you.


While you are traveling to the wp or planet it is on you will be attacked by npc bounty hunters, pirates, mercenaries, etc.. They can even be able to attack you in space!


These goons will spawn at the entrances to towns, starports, shuttleports, space stations, etc..


These thugs will only attackable by you and/or group members. Incase you want to clear a path at the starport for your partner to get the job done quicker.


As soon as you convers to the npc you need to talk to you complete the mission and the wp is taken out of your datapad.



Hows that sound? Thought of it in just a few minutes. Any extras to add would be nice.

The Empire, yes. But the bounties from private sources were of a more.. .. personal nature. Presumably, after the " cargo " is delivered intact, he would be tortured and given a very slow painfull death. Or valuable information would be... forcibly extracted from his brain.

I dont see why this idea is getting flamed so much, its a very interesting concept. After the capture the BH could be able to take this "frozen body" to whoever put out the mission, this person randomly located on any of the planets. This would add a little bit more realism to BH missions, because they would be able to interact with the person they are doing this mission for, instead of just getting a mission of a list of names and being done with it after they kill a jedi and also since many bounties (like the one on Solo) do not want the guy killed on the spot,but what to submit them to questioning orpainful torture.


Of course....all of this is coming from a jedi so maybe its just the less experience loss that I like the most

Well yeah but keep in mind the payout's for the capture mission would be VASTLY greater then the search and destroys. You might find you will be getting paid more visits then usual. As all the top BH's will be gunning for the big dog's.


Thanks for the support. And from a Jedi no less !! ??? Shocking

Yea if it was possible to "capture" jedi rather than destroy/kill them, that would be awesome. That would bring some rp into the game...but i have a feeling some uber-grinders are gonna whine.

I like the idea but have something to add.


The Devs could add in a new item which calls a shuttle when the BH captures the jedi and then the BH talks to an npc that comes out and the mission is complete and the shuttle takes the jedi to the dathomir prison because its the only prison in the game and the empire or who ever the mission is from wouldent just let the jedi walk away.

Actually, instead of having the payouts be "vastly" greater than a kill, why not institute the mission to read something like this:


Jedi name

Bounty Amount

"Bonus for live delivery"


Now, not ALL bounties would have that final phrase. Make it a randomized function, or tie it into amount of Visibility earned. Instead of making the bonus additional credits, have the Bonus ALSO be random. Sometimes it will be credits, but sometimes it would be a piece of BH armor. Or a special BH weapon.. Or even a worthless trinket such as a Holographic image of your Capture encased in Carbonite...


I think this would add a very nice new dynamic to the BH/Jedi relationship..
