Well, like a wise BH you took the situation to your advantage, and it worked out nicely.
Game mechanics aren't the only way to overcome an enemy, as you proved.
I did nothing of the sort. I was lucky that he didn't run into a private structue after he had cloaked twice before. Luck is not something that I can control and does not offset the dozens of Jedi who cloak at first sight of any dot
Now, if the Jedi cloaks and gets away - can you not still track the Jedi? Hunt the bugger down. Stay close so they can't cloak, or just keep on them until they eventually screw up and die, or they run out of Force and die, or they just stop cloaking because they know you won't go away.
Yeah, but I don't usually open up my inventory in the middle of combat to keep my droids updated. Which means that after he runs I'll need to send a new droid. After the 2 mins for the waypoint, he's already run off into a house (as happened above)
Actually, the cloak thing is part of the expanded universe. Its on some of the Old Rebublic series covering Freedan Nadd and further mentioned in the New Jedi Order series but always as a Dark Side power. In KOTOR I and II"cloak" was a trait given to Rebornes in I and the Sith Warriors in II.SWG seems to draw from many sources in attempt to appease the ever groaning masses.Cloak is a valid power in my opinion. The way I see it, the jedi have a lot to loose,atleast as Padawan and have every right to evade using any tactic possible. Its our job as BH to hunt them, not for them to stand and fight us. One very important fact to remember in combat is that you should always attempt to fight your battles on your terms, Sun Tzu said it as "Choose yourbattles." If you cant win do not fight despite yourself, simply disengage,assess your abilities and drive on with another bounty and lesson learned. I can promise you that for every Padawan you can not kill another Bounty Hunter somewhere can.
Just a little input from a 16 year veteran soldier and 2 year veteran Bounty Hunter and somewhat recent Jedi.
