FIXED - they can't lose xp in space either.
You mentioned they can't do any meaningful grinding up there. You forgot if theBounty Hunteris successful, the Jedi loses xp - which would mean more grinding to get out of the negative. Currently, a Jedi has no reason to stay and fight. none.
Sounds like smart tactics to me. The Bounty Hunter should of engaged the mark where he didn't have a chance to escape.
Jedidont GET a reason to fight, and hopefully won't. BH's hunt jedi, and jedi have to deal with it. Run, or fight. I'm tired of hearing that as an excuse. If you want to run, run. But dont try to justify yourself, if you do run.
What do jedi want? To be gods, and sail through the game in calm waters? Theres a reason BH's hunt jedi, and jedi loose exp. Its so they dont become Jedi gods too quickly.

Wait wait wait. Im a pre cu jedi. I started really getting into Jedi hunting a month ago when Jedis became weak. There is no way to "engage" the mark whe he cant escape. Cloak, forcerun and the LOS boundaries are huge obsticles.(sp) I beat him up for 15 minutes. He suppresses, and fr2's off. Pull bike, blows bike... suppresses, rinse repeat till i dont have anymore bikes. I do stopping shot, he kd's me 30 meters away and runs. I have gotten 4 jedi in the past 3 days, so I'm not feeling bad. I just wanted to know why I couldnt track them.

Something I noticed from my friends list is when people shuttle or planet hop you get the "friend is offline....friend is online message"
I've noticed this too. *And* I've had the 'Your target is offline' message a split second after a jedi shuttled out of somewhere.
I don't want to scaremonger or start rumours - but is it possible that a person is 'logged off' when they shuttle?
And if so... what are the implications for re-setting jedi visibility?

Happened to me too. I was fighting a guy in Moenia and I get him down. He says "Dude this sux, ur goin to win" and sure enough he roots me and FR1's to the starport terminal. I burst run as soon as the root where's off and go to hurry and hit him. I shoot him at the VERY LAST SECOND, but I think it was right when he must've clicked "launch to space" or whatever cause he dissapeared despite being in combat. Went to send a droid and got "Target not online" despite our /tells

Wrong, there is a reason coming. Prior to the shutting off of FRS - Jedi gained FRS points by killing MBH's. Since there were hardly any MBH's hunting Jedi, no reason to fight.
Now, that every hunter has to be a master, perhaps with the new FRS the MBH will be worth fighting....
Gods? what game are you playing? LOL
