Bounty Hunter Archive

I got my first successful jedi bounty yesterday (I've had my arse handed to me a few times) and I want MORE!

I'm picking up missions and they're either offline or rebs or on Kash. I decide I'm going to take one more and give up. Oh! He's online. 140K. Not bad!I figure he'll be on Kashyyyk, though. I go out, drop my bio sig into my droid and head back to the starport waiting for it to tell me he's on Kash... "Your target has been located on Endor." DUDE! I hop in my ship and jet over there. Send out some seekers as soon as I land and head towards the way point. He's still out there.

I get within about 400m and dismount, get ready to go in for the kill. I see another player on my map off to my left riding away. The wp updates. Yup. It's him. "$#!@" I think, "He spotted me." I realize he's headed back to the station and try to cut him off but I'm too late. I get back to a lonely waypoint. I figure he saw me coming and is headed to hide on Kash. But, just to be thorough, I go out and send off another probot.

CRAP! He's on Corellia!

I come into Coronet and I'm standing IN the WP I quickly target everyone around me to no avail. I find a secret spot and let my seekers go. (I don't want any of his friends telling him a BHfollowed him.)I see his WP has stopped in a small player city about 1500m outside of coronet. Cool. I hop on my bike and head there... he's no longer moving. I figure he's gone into a private dwelling and I'm screwed.

Then I spy him. He and a few of his friends are standing outside the shuttle bay. Maybe they were waiting for me to shuttle over. Good thing it was close and I'd read that tutorial yesterday that told me not to shuttle to my destination. So, I pull out my combat droid, pop my spice and some foods and next thing I know, I see the dude running up to me. The hell??? Well, I'm not waiting to talk ::BLAM!:: I hit him with a knockdown. Follow it up with a root and get some distance. Then body shot, critical shot back and forth.

My adrenaline was pumping, my heart was pounding and my arms were going limp. I don't think I blinked at all. Suddenly I looked up and saw he had hardly any health left. I looked at my health bar and I'd lost about as much as he had left. Crit Shot! He goes down. I run over to his body to deathblow and it does that buggy thing where it slides right past me.

Now, we're fighting in high grass. I can't see him and I've completely neglected to make a DB macro. (Doing that first thing when I get on today.) I'm running around like an idiot. He gets back up. My auto shot hits him and he goes back down. Right-click "Deathblow". But he was getting up at the time. DAMN! I shoot him one more time and he dies. I get my confirmation that I've killed him and that I've got my money. I store my driod and run into the grass. His friends just stood and watched. One of them bowed to me.

I got no hate tells. I didn't get people spamming me about getting a ride, etc... It was SOOOOO much fun! So much fun, in fact, that I'm home at 3:00 to play some more. See ya online! LOL
