Yeah, there was Fan Fest then.........nothing in the lines of information like we got in the past. Now we're lucky to get publish notes.

I agree. I loved the days of major publishes with new functionality every 6 weeks and small publishes every 2 weeks with bug fixes. We were always getting In Concept, In Dev and In Testing notes.



May the Force be with you.

Hmmm.... My best guess is because they have moved the player bounties to master thus removing the ability to build a 3000 BH based Jedi hunting template that they are removing the pre-requisite requirement of the scout tree to allow us more scope for building an effective template.

That's just my best guess of course.

I sure hope its good, I'm getting real bored after 2 years of playing a BH character.







On the front. Not the back. BH don't run. or do they?

The realist in me tells me that it's probably going to be the implimentation of bounties set on BH who drop missions. After all, the FRS isn't going to work very well if BHs are the Jedi's primary source for FRS pointsandwe keep dropping missions as soon as we find out that our mark is out of our league. This will likely be sold to us as "new" and "exciting" and a chance to prove ourselves against other hunters to see just who is the best around. Some will hate this idea, others will love it.


The optimist in me hopes and prays that publish 21 will finally allow us to hunt in space. Of course, that's going to be difficult to enforce. If your mark isn't very confident in his/her abilities in the cockpit of a starfighter, he or she simply needs to travel in his or her yacht. The fact that you must fly in order to reach Kashyyk is a good start, imo, and an indication that something is being done to make sure that jedi must use their starships at least once in a while. Space bounties are really the only reason that I can see that the devs would make a "happy place" for jedi and then force them to fly to it. Of course, it doesn't take all that long to jump to the Kashyyk System and fly in to the starport to land in the first place... We'll see.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone's not after you.

Let me see, now.. It's 7,450,000 FS xp to finish the village, so you need 111,750,000 111,240,000 weapons xp for that at 30:1. Then you need 3,020,000 Jedi xp to get to 0400 Powers, which is the equivalent (at one-fifth xp rate) of 15,100,000 regular weapons xp. That's about 126,850,000 126,340,000 regular weapons xp to get to Powers 0400 and be able to make you invisible. MBH requires 2,450,000 weapons xp of different sorts to master.
So, you can be invisible 30 secs prior to attacking your mark. You just have to master Bounty Hunter 52 times 51.5 times. Have fun!


You've obviously never mastered bh before. There is a reason why investigation xp is a 1:1 trade in value. By far, the toughest xp to get in game is investigation, not jedi xp. It's also one of the few in game you can't macro to get.

Oh, and to re complete my rifles template (again for like the 4th time) and get 1.4 million xp took me 30 minutes. So getting 111 million xp should take about a week. And with no visibility in a group, should take a jedi about 30 hours max to get to 0400 powers.



Heavens to Murgatroid, you're right! I didn't count the 34000 BH xp you need, which can be converted at 1:1. Here, I've modified the numbers above for you then, by doing 34,000 FS with BH xp you've saved your brethren 510,000 weapons xp. I feel so dirty...

Oh, and there's a lot of post-CU MBH's that have never mastered BH before either..




Investigation/Bounty Hunter XP doesn't convert 1:1. It used to, but not anymore for me at least.




I believe BH XP has a 3:1 ration...or perhaps the same 5:1 as combat. Been a long time since I went out there to "check things out".

When I went out to the village on Sunday, I traded 21300 or so BH experience. I got 21300 FS experience. If that isnt 1:1 I dont know what is?

Makes absolutely no difference. Yachts are not attackable, or at least impervious to damage.

you will never see bounties in space. devs said long ago there will never be jedi powers in space, so no bounties.

If they do that, then it is rather simple for me. It means I will no longer pull Jedi missions. I am quite happy with only NPCs for quick cash. I am NOT going to be FRS fodder for the Jedi.
