I was ready to like this idea, but this statement left me a bit hesitant. If I don't have my robes and saber equipped and not using force powers, then I shouldn't stand out since my goal is to blend in the crowd.
I suppose this could happen if scanned, then the alert would go out. Since I'm a Colonel in the Imperial Army, scans don't mean much to me as I get the apologetic statement of not being recognized.
Overall though, not a bad idea.

1st level of visability: No name.. only faction provided, mission payout is random between xx amount and xxx amount
2cd level of visability: No name.. faction provided and a set amount of payout based on the Jedi's rank/template
3rd level of visability: Name provided, Faction and a set amount based on the Jedi's rank/template
1stlevel would be a Jedi who has very little visability , has done what he or she can to remain true to the hunted Jedi scenario and not been a showoff .... a consicentous Jedi who tries to remain off the boards buthas grouped/been seenon remote planets.. the fact that they have limited visability would justify the limited information about them..
2cdlevel would be Jedi who are less concerned about visability but still not out in starports dueling in front of crowds and generaly making a spectacle of themselves.. these jedi would be the ones who group and grind doing missions with groups of people oncore planets with established governments/authority, heal wounds etc .. the increase over a the 1st levels visability would justify a small increase in the Information provided
3rd level would be Jedi who actively PvP non jedi (ie not the FRS when/if it comes back). that Duel in starports in front of crowds of adoring sycophants , that have no qualms about making it known to thegalaxy just exactly who and what they are .. they obviously have no fear of the galactic empire and its policy on jedi extermination and by their actions the information on them will be thorough and complete
The development teamwould need tocode places like Major cities, Starports, and Cantinas as HotZones .. any lightsabers ignited or not, any force powers, wearingjedi robes in these areaswould mean instant level III visability..
Grouping and doing missions on largely settled and populated planets like Tatooine, Naboo , Corellia , etc would ideally amount to level II visabilitygrantedyouare stillcarefull when in major cities, cantinas , Starports..
grouping on remote planets , largely unsettled or primitive in naturelike Dantooine,Lok, Dathomir , Rori , endor, YavinIV ,Kashyyk *ducks* wouldputyou at lvl1 visability if you are still mindfull of not being in robes, no lightsabers and no force powers in starports/cantinas cities
*i guess dantooine could go either lvl 1 or 2 ,need opinions onthat please*
This is a way to reward the Jedi who are true to the game.. as in the sentiment that Jedi are reclusive and take precautions to remain out of the spotlight for survival
the more careless you are..or carefree as it were, the more info the Hunters get and the More info they get the greater the chance at more then one coming for you (IE if you gain lvl 3 visability then by mechanics of the system and info provided bounty hunters who are so inclined can group and all take your mission in the same manner they can now)
While not perfect or easy to do it certainly makes more sense then what is proposed in patch 20 in my humble opinion,

THis or the successfulness of BH. IE after BH you can pick up better invest skills, (1 sp each 3 of em) costing invest xp or something.
Anyways MBH just can pull missions
teir 1 can see payout
2 faction
3 names
or the more jedi you kill the mroe info you can see... or soemthing.... they must do something!

Thats an interesting idea, the better the mission success the more info.. but i like thisidea better
I mean.. as others have pointed out...Just strictly from a role playing point of view.. what kind of friggin schmuck on wheels am i at master BH not knowing ANY definitiveinfo about my mark.... That is rediculous
Under this proposal less info would make sense, More Information about Jedi who are more exposed.. base it on Visability.. allow them the opportunity of remaining relatively anonymous , the only ones who have to worry are the turds in starports showing off that nobody can stand.
Those that scoff at roleplaying should realize , the gamescontent is largely bugged, and will be for the forseable future judgning by the history of the game.. therefor roleplay or "self induced content" is all we really have to fall back on

and you wouldnt 
for clarity.. im talking about having sabers and robes Equipped . IE wearing robes or holding the saber equiped visablyor using force powers in these places would result in instant lvl III visability
