.......I want to make this Jedi pay for the 4 swoops be popped, and the aggravation of having to chase him all around just to have him “elude” me into space. So the question is this…. Money aside (as it does not matter to me) would it be more hurtful to this Jedi to kill him outright for the experience loss or to chase him for the 3 days that I will have his mission, causing him not to be able to actually do anything but run from me?

Sounds to me like the Jedi did what he was suppose to do... elude and evade fighting only when he HAD to or chose to. You came for him, not the other way around.. if you lost swoops, consider it an occupational hazard... no other BH's moan about vehicle loss... cause they know if they pull it out, there's a chance of it being destroyed... think of it as overhead. And you should listen to these others guys.. Jedi really do expect you to be ruthless and relentless, even when they don't like it... as long as it is within the scope of the game the role your character plays in that game. But when you make it a vendeta, it's griefing. Bannble and just generally poor sportsmanship.
Besides, it's not just Jedi that run. LOL i had a certain furbll BH come after me last night.. shortly after my jedi buddy told me about the same BH coming after him and losing earlier .. lol it was kinda funny actually. I was at Nym's Starport chatting with another friend when he attacked me... i let him hit a few times to judge his damage output... /shout'ed BANZAI!! and laid into him. 1-2-3...4-5-6 and he was incapped.. but the DB was slow so up he pops, heals and Bursts outta there... LOL i was chasing HIM!! i did send him a /tell saying that it was my job to run away not his... and that this would ruin him on the BH forums... so we shared a laugh.. but before i could find him he LD'd... so i stood IFO his bike and him for a few waiting for him to log in again. But he dosent so i go about my business and add him to friends.. see him log in a little bit later.. i let him know he can FF me now to make it easier... soon he shows up we fight , he dies and we chat a bit about irrelevant junk... everyone went way in a good mood and no foul play... SEE? it can be done
I waited, while her friend spammed me with tells saying why I shouldn't be attacking her because she's friends with a somebody in the same guild as me. Finally I tell her that she probably would have won because of my crappy temp, and I leave. After I was off-planet, I get another tell, this time from the jedi.
"There, my force bar is restored, you can come back now."
Me- "Lol, hell no, I've wasted enough time on you."
If i'm stalking a Jedi for days on end, I tend to use my other accounts and add them to the freinds list on that. That way if i'm crafting or something or the other (yes i have 4 accounts for well over 18months and not a glowstick in sight) and i see them come online, it's happy days again and the great planetary Benny Hill chase resumes.
Regards
I believe it's 440,000 XP loss (about 2-4 hours of play to make up ).
If I wasa Jedi and was still grinding my template and died I would lose about 2-4 days of play (sinceI only get on about an hour a day).
Yes it's annoying.
Yes it happens to me when I hunt.
But the truth is that if I was a Jedi and had cloak I would use it etc. /shrug if the guy is a runner you'll probably just be aggravating yourself in the end.
I would drop, congratulate him for getitng away and get another mission.....that's just me....
One last thing, if they are low on force, it's a sure DB for them so that could also be a reason they run....

I logged in tonight, and tracked down the Jedi to his home on Talus. He was inside, and I sent him a tell. He decided that it was indeed to time play!
We fought briefly, and I must have worn him down either in patience or some ciritcal point where he runs... he said "let the games begin" and took off running.
I snared, then hit him with critical, then KD, then critical again, and aheadshot to finish him off.
He claimed a bug allowed me to kill him. Either way, I care not, the contract is over. The hunt was a good one!

I'm actually enjoying Daivan owning Headroll more than the original thread 
It's fun.
......
No one has really answered the original question though.... if I were to make this guy run for3 days.... would that be worse than a one shot experience loss? How long does it take to grind out xp lost with a grinding group to cover the loss? A few hours or a few days?
........
lmao. i know that a lot of ppl say there is no such thing as a dumb question, but this question is dumb
obviously its not possible to answer this question either, and if you think about it youll understand.
