Let BHers hunt NPC Jedi missions, and let NPC bounty hunters hunt Jedi PCs.
If a Jedi gets enough visibility to be on the terminals, then a BH will inevitably show up. The time-frame should be random like the old man and sith visits, but unlike the sith attacks it should be a locked battle, like a BH with an NPC mark.
BHers now have elite marks which get very good loot, if they don't already, these elite marks should be Jedi, fully wielding a lightsaber and force powers.
For those who want to PVP, make it so only PC Jedi who are special forces are placed on the terminals, and only BHers who are special forces can take their mission.
The Jedi should still lose exp for dying to a BH, whether it is a NPC or PC. The BH should get a bonus credit of a random skill value based on the difficulty of the mark. There should be a chance that they get a 90K Jedi who is easily dispatched, or a 226K Jedi who is difficult to kill. This would keep the BHers monitary value of killing a mark, plus they will drop loot. No PC Jedi are harmed by this, the BH is guarenteed that their mark is not in a house, afk, and will not run. With the new AI coming out it should be more exciting and difficult.
All the whining I read on these boards is that their marks are AFK, in a house, or run. Giving NPC Jedi to hunt will eleviate this, and the Jedi population will still be in check by NPC's, which cannot harrass, mock, or cry nerf 
on a Jedi.
on a Jedi. Besides, you guys only hunt Jedi for the fun of tracking and the money awarded, right? 
All this I hear about forcing exp loss on another player and making Jedi quit, its not your true intentions

Now honestly thats one of the best ideas ive heard in a long time haha. Seriously though at MBH make our marks Jedi NPC's that would be fun and would justify the uber loot we are getting right now.

Indeed, that is a fine idea... I go along with it on both sides.

It sureis my intentions. Will NPC jedi send me hate tell spam? You think the developers can program that into the game?

I've always believed that Boba Fett should appear when Jedi get too much vis.
If I was a Jedi I would think it would be worth it to die by Boba Fett's hand.
And he shouldn't be just some normal M.Carbineer, he would be MBH, M.Carbineer, M.Pistoleer, M.CM, master everything so he would be UNSTOPPABLE and yes I know there aren't enough SPs for that template....but he's Fett!
That's how Boba Fett should be if he was put in to hunt Jedi.
-Edit- And I agree with HeadRoll, itwill bemy intention to cause so much XP loss to a Jedi that he quits the game...or 'dies'. One less Jedi, one happy Fugley. =]

I've seen B-Fett show up in a couple live events.
In fact---beter idea---Make a competition on each server for the best Bounty Hunter. Whoever wins gets to play as Boba Fett and hunt jedi with near impunity.
I like that idea.

Its an original idea, I will give you that. As for a good idea, I don't think so.
Maybe I'm the only Veteran Player who was here before Jedi and still continues to play after them but there is no way a NPC Jedi Mark will replace the adrenaline produced when facing another player. The NPC Jedi would be to easy for a Semi-Decent BH and the NPC BH would be way to easy for a Jedi, there is no strategy involved and thus, no fun.
The only thing that would happen if this every got implemented in the game would be that Jedi would flourish even more then they are now and Bounty Hunters would dwindle in numbers.
Also, like Nathaniel said and it has happened many times, we complain about alot of things and then they are fixed... and a few weeks later we look back and wish they were the same. Bounty Hunters would be beating their heads against their keyboards and Jedi would find themselves doing the same... why? Boredom.

Read my entire post. I said that if you want to PVP you can go SF. A SF bounty hunterwould be able topull a SF Jedi mission and track him. If your scenario comes true than most BHers and most Jedi will go SF and be hunted, while the ones grinding in groups or afk in their houses only get pestered by NPC's.
edit: and more SF players may actually bring life back into the GCW..

fyi: xp loss was put in to stop bh & jedi from exploting the system to earn money. look back far enough in the red name posts and you can find it.

I know that.
Wasn't there also permadeath, like three deaths and the Jedi would...cease to exist?
I played pre-cu, but didn't get into BH until right after it.

and at the time of permadeath jedi were meant to take 10-20 normals at once. what's your point?
mine is that xp loss was put in for one reason, to stop bh alts from farming their jedi. if we remove player missions altogether, xp loss does not need ot be there. it's intended purpose no longer exists.
an argument can also be made for it's removal now, as missions are anonymous.
