Why not just make everybody overt, attackable by anybody at anyplace, anytime, helleven if they aren't logged in make them appear just so you can collect - there, that solves it..

Well, what can I say?... Sounds great !

However, it would be nice if smuggler hunting would differ from jedi hunting. I mention this for several reasons: First of hunting a smuggler wouldjust be seen as an easier version of jedi hunting (and we already have that with the NPC missions); and second, it would be a lot nastier for a smuggler to be hunted than a jedi (lets face it, unless things change drastically with the CUsmugglerswill have a hard time beating a buffed hunter on spice
).
). So I thought (just an idea mind you) that things would be a lot more interesting if the smuggler vs. bh thing was set up as a bit ofa race. An example of this could work as following:
- A smuggler gets registered on the terminals.
- A bh takes the mission, leading to the smuggler being informed that a player is hunting him (smugglers have connections 
)
)- Only 1 bh can take the mission.
- AT the time the smuggler gets informed that he is being hunted he will receive a waypoint where he can get in contact with the NPC (former client) that put the price on his head. If he reaches the NPC and completes a mission for the disgruntled client (or pays him off??) he will then gain grace with client.
- This will lead to the bh failing his mission if he didn't get the smuggler within this time frame.
The race could be longer than just the one waypoint (we don't want it to be impossible for the bh to catch up)
Anyway, I thought this would be a refreshing change to the whole stalking business that is required in jedi hunting and would fit the smugglers' evasive way of living.
Fell free to point out any possible problems with this idea

There were Jedi being hunted by Bounty Hunters in the movies.
Admittedly, there was only one but then again he did represent 100% of the active Jedi population at that time.

we cant have only one BH being able to hunt them. it is too easily exploitable.

Maybe they could make it so that if a Bounty Hunter and a Smuggler are fighting, then no other Bounty Hunter can join the fight?

I find it odd people say smugglers would be an "easy version of Jedi kills"
People with armor take different tactics to kill than people who have no armor...
Because the BH can kill the Jedi doesn't mean he can kill the smuggler with the 1.7k T-21 rifle....

then as a smuggler i could just take my alt BH with me and stay in combat and on follow.

Damn alts 
But wouldn'tthe alt Bounty Hunter keep firing? Unless the BH was put on peace, but then the smuggler would keep firing unless he were to peace as well, in which case they both would end combat. I could be wrong though

If this is implemented I would have a hard decision. Hunter or the hunted or both.

so another BH with the mission can wait til the smuggler wins...and then pop the smuggler when he's weak?
why do people think that smuggler's are weak?
my MPistoleer/MSMuggler/Merchant 3001 could probably take outa good portion of the BH's out there
i say bring it on
