I hear a lot of people talking about sneaking up on Jedi, how is this possible. Everytime I shuttle to a city after my mark, even if he is 500m away from the shuttle port, I get /tells asking who I'm after/ who I'm hunting. I haven't even started to move towards my mark and this starts. Do jedi have people watching the shuttle ports or something.

The only time I can sneak up on a Jedi is if he is in Theed or another big city full of people.

Get yourself a dancer's leotard (or something similar), remove your "Master Bounty Hunter" title from above your head, leave your weapon in your inventory, dont have 10+ buffs under your HAM bar and dont launch seekers right at the shuttle.
"Sneaky" is not defined as driving with a tank through gardens and small walls to approach your target on the shortest way possible.

Also, if your mark is out hunting and they have 1/2 a brain (some don't actually) They will be looking at any blue dot that comes on their radar.

Pretty much can't sneak up on anyone due to the radar, unless you are in a big city with a lot of people around, or hunting around Mining Outpost on Dant, there are always people running around there, too hard to target everyone.

I don't know if it actually fools anybody, but I just throw on the Novice Bounty Hunter tag. I'm messing around with a template so I'm not CL 80 anymore anyway.

Out in the wilds, I zoom out on my radar a lot. A good rule of thumb is if I can't see my mark on the radar, my mark can't see me. Check the lairs on the radar and zoom out to the minimum distance your target would need to see you on their radar then look for a path through the lairs. I've been able to get within 100 meters of my Jedi that way without being noticed.

Here is something I have been trying lately , this is my previous post on the matter in it's entirety:

have been developing a new technique (new for me not saying it's new for other BHs) thatI would like to share.

Obviously if you have rifles in your temp it's not for you. This assumes Pistol and MCM. This also assumes lair grinding out on Dantooine or similar activity.

It gives up scouting and alpha strike for sheer unbalanced surprise (unbalanced because the surprise might be yours). It's a bit Indiana Jones and here is how it works:

I stop 600M from my target. I eat my foods, start my duelist macro and hop back on bike. I bring up map , then ride in at full speed , zeroing on the group , I am now flying in at full speed and time the "store" of the bike at the right moment. If done correctly you end up in a full sprint just a few meters from the Jedi. The Jedi has zero preparation time, he might also be aggrod with lair creatures. Start with a KD to add to the surprise and them follow up with ADV crit, and torso, as Jedi gets up start laying states, paralyze, fire, poison ext. It's worked the lastfew times i have tried it with full temps .

Have fun if you try it. I also have done plenty of hunting and stalking so I don't want to get cirtizied for not doing it, just tyring something new that coincidentlaly has worked to perfection twice. The first time the Jedi had the lair aggrod and he did not have time to get away, the second time was against a full temp that has cloak and he had not time to use it as I used KD, stopping shot etc and stayed near him the whole time. I am convinced that the sheer speed of the attack produced the victories.

If you shuttle into a guild city, your better off assuming that you were seen and the word is already out. I live in a reasonably low traffic city, and every stranger that comes into town usually gets a once over bya crafter, merchant, entertainer or anyone else who just happens to be in town. Just because you don't see anyone, doesn't mean that someone in their house didn't see you and get your name from radar. They may not say someting to you, but if MBH is in your bio the word is out on TS.I propably know your therebefore you finish loading from your shuttle trip. I alsomay know if your buffed, what armor & weapons your you have equip'd, and what foods & spiceyou've got going, what professions you've masteredand what tag your weaing; all before you've figured out which way off the shuttle pad.

If your mark is outside of town, your best bet is NOT to shuttle into town before going after him.Shuttle to another nearby city and drive the rest of the way without going near the local city. If your mark is in his town, you might shuttle in, but if you do make it look like you already know where your going.Hit thevendor mall for some shopping orbring afew (non BH) friendsto go run some destroy missions.Anything you might normaly do when your not hunting Jedi that might bring youto a strange town will help to make you look like another harmless passer-by. It may take a bit of time, but your mark will lower his guard toward you if you look like you have a reason to be there.

Is there a way that someone can target you via the radar?
