Before anyone replies about me being a hardcore newb bounty hunter let me explain my position! I'm level 72 with investigation 2 and tryin to do bh missions. After the publish I noticed that all the bounties i'd get were higher level, and that's not bad, but it's bad when they're level 77-80 and after me setting a seeker droid on EVERY planet to find them....getting an impossible bounty is discouraging. I'll keep doing the missions but should i be able to take these high levels? Is there an easier way to find the planet they're on so i don't take a half hour to find that I should abort mission?

They were SUPPOSED to be fixing that.

use a Arykd (sp?) Probe droid - once u get the Bio Sig u have to go out of a town and launch the probe. it will come back in like 20 seconds and hit the ground with a little explosion. go up to it - transper bio sig- and it will "commence planetary search pattern" and coem back like 3 minutes later with "ur target is on X"

Okay... It sounds like your skipping a step. What you need are Arakyd probe droids to determine which planet your mark is on. THEN you go there and release a Seeker to track him.
The procedure for NPC missions should be:
- accept the mission
- talk to a Spynet operative to get the bio-sig
- go 500 meters out of town and request an Arakyd droid
- 20 seconds later the droid lands
- feed the droid the bio-sig (I imagine holding an old sock under the olfactory sensor)
- wait for the droid to tell you what planet the mark is on
- go there and release a Seeker in Track mode to start getting waypoint updates
- go collect your mark
The mark I tried last night was 83 (to my 80). But I haven't run enough of 'em to know what the range is. As a BH, you do need to start working up your gear and tactics to take marks tougher than you are. Armor and PSG's, Food (crispic, air cake, vegeparsine for better attack and defense stats), sliced weapons, powerups, stims and Ruby Belial, etc.
I'm actually happy to hear that the marks are so much tougher. Good training for taking on Jedi, where we will almost ALWAYS be the underdog.
