I have been working on a website that goes along with the battle between Bounty Hunters and Jedi. The Bounty Hunter Ranking System (BHRS) awards points based on providing visual evidence of Jedi Reports, Jedi Sightings, Sighting with Power, and Jedi Kills. BHRS also makes these reports available for the whole community. I have already been collecting some images as I have been coding the site.
Stop by and check it out at http://www.littleblueman.com/jedi
I am still running through some clean-up on the site, so please let me know if you find anything you think needs to be fixed.
In the future I plan on adding functionality for Jedi to record their successful defenses against the Bounty Hunters of the world.
Yet another thing the devs should have been doing instead of making the player base do their job for them. Great idea btw.

A ranking system sound like fun as you move up it get better weapons and armor 
To bad they do not have one in game

I wouldn't mind haveing a system like this for MBH's but thee has to be a long grind for it and earn this Reward. You also have to lose Massive amount of XP when a Jedi comes out and kills you. If you want a system of all powerful Bh's then you also must go thru the same thing as the Jedi do. If a system similiar to jedi was put into place then I would support this idea (risk vs reward).

i think all proffessions should be like this. have some sort of quest based content at master that reqcuires alot of invested time. it would make people respect their proffessions better and stick with them

exactly lovey... there should be a ranking system with power gained at ranks for every combat profession... have pride in your profession, not just go to the FoTM...
If there was a ranking system maybe everyone wouldnt be doing jedi... jedi gives most people who are bored with their current professions something to do, or work for... a ranking system for all the combat classes would be amazing imo, and give people an alternative to jedi.

Great Idea, when the old man arrives the second time, you could answer Never! I will hunt those villains for what they are.
then the old man leaves and moments later the old bounty hunter arrives and tell you to its time to start the apprentice bh trials. ut know this young apprentice if you accept this path there is no going back, and you will have to expect at all times to be hunted by others if you let anyone know your a bounty hunter.

I love the idea but I have a few questions, how many ranks would there be? Would getting a new rank cost SP? And what kind of xp would you need to advance?

It would be just like the Force Ranking system for jedi, it would require no SPs, but it would require hard to get XP, and maintence XP costs. XP would be gained by complete Jedi missions, and BHRS NPC missions which would be much harder to track, and kil then current invest 4 missions. I would also like to see "timed missions" where if you dont find and kill the mark fast enough then he escapes and you loose XP.

RAMBOW wrote:The Bounty Hunter Ranking System.To enter this system you need the "Master Bounty Hunter" box. (no melee BH)
Once you have that, You go to Boba, he starts you on a set of quests and really really hard BH missions. (think Jedi Knight Trials, BH version)Once you are done you enter the BHRS. You enter at Fame level 1. and work your way up by doing NPC BH missions (which at BHRS level are much harder then invest 4 missions, and pay much more) You also get XP for killing Jedi (who hopefully will have a death penalty increase soon). As you get higher in "Fame Ranking" your skills become more powerful. If your Torso shot hits a jedi for 250 on average, it should hit for 265 at rank 1, 275 at rank 2, ect... at the higher levels, this would help MBHs take on Jedi Knights. As you grow in Rank the Death Penalty for jedi should also increase...There could also be 3 Types of BHRS BHs... Jabba's BHs (missions from Boba, and jabba) Black Sun BH (New Black Sun base would be needed with the Prince ect..) and Nym's BH (missions from Nym) Each type could have its own Bonus's (think Dark Jedi vs Light Jedi FRS)Perhaps Jabba BHs could have Carbineer bonuses, Black Sun could have PIstol Bonuses, and Nyms could have LLC Bonuses? and maybe exclusive weapons or armor? all just ideas mind you.Perhaps Jabba's ranked BH's could take missions on Black Sun BHs who fail a mission? and if you die to another BH from a mission you lose a rank, or fame XP... This would add Risk/Reward for BHs in this system as well. ( and who wouldnt like to take another BH on 1 on 1?)
Anyone like this idea? I think its a great way to give us a chance against higher level jedi.Message Edited by RAMBOW on 09-11-2004 09:15 PM

Sounds pretty cool to me. I'd say Jabba gives the pistol bonus, Nym the Carbine bonus, and Black Sun the LLC bonus though
