is this statement correct?:
Jedi generates visibliity which creates mission that a total of 5BH can take, then if* thesame Jedi generates more visiblitywhich wouldcreate a 2nd mission that a total of 5 more BH can take, and so on with a 3rd, 4th mission etc..
saying that any jedi can only have 5 BH hunting them at once is false..

Doesn't work like that. With max visiblility a jedi's mission can be taken by no more than 5 people at one time.

heh, you just repeated what i stated above..
like i said yes a total of 5 BH's can take a mission for a jedi, but that same jedi can generate more then one mission, and eachmission can have a total of 5 BH...

Not a BH although I'm able to speak from the recieving end of this system:
I've tested with 4-6 BHs asking if they could ALL pull a mission on me. I intended to gauge the number of BHs and the time involved to get 5 with my mission.
For some reason it IS possible for 2 BHs to grab a mission in a matter of minutes although I would believe it's dependant on the pre-existing number of missions being held on the prefered mark. Also, there does appear to be a timer on acquiring a mission. If you have 5 BH friends ALL "looking" at said mission then ALL click "accept" at same time you will notice only 2 of them will get the mission. (if you can even locate it)
With the current build I would likely require 3-5 BHs to take me out (not cocky, just voicing gaming experiance - have taken on as many as 13 with 8 or9 lvl 80s and I faired well.) You would need to be sly when attacking your mark. Watch for them to start channeling before hitting them. This is distinctive by noticing their action bar bouncing all around when they're targeted.

there are only 5 missions total per jedi
so only 5 bh's total can take missions on 1 jedi

why did jedi missions then reset on the terms to 25k or 50k even though they were higher level? It seems that there can be more than one bounty on a jedi, not just 5 people taking the same mission. Because if I and another BH take a mission on a jedi and one of us kills the jedi the other BH receives a mission failure notice. OR is it that the jedi clears their mission on death, but has enough visibility to immediately generate a new mission, thus putting them at the low money mark but right back on the terms. That seems more plausible, so you would only have a max of 5 BHs after you at any given time.

Ok, here's how it works.
A jedi gains enough vis to get on terms. 5 BH's can each take mission to kill that jedi. ONLY 5 BH's.
Jedi is killed by BH. Jedi gains MORE vis, 5 MORE BHs can take mission. Still for a total of ONLY 5 BHs hunting said jedi.

mostlycorrect, except your leaving out that more then 1 mission can be generated for the same jedi...at the same time..each mission havinga possiblityof 5 BH each..

NO NO NO BLISS
once a bh hits accept on that mission...it is taken off of the terminals
the another bh comes along and hits accept the message for why the jedi is being hunted may be the same or different but it is another mission off the terminals
so on and so forth but only for FIVE TIMES
there can only be 5 bh's after a jedi at a time never ever ever any more it is not 5 bh's per mission

Actually, I had a curious instance once when hunting with a partner, where we had missions at two different amounts on the same Jedi.
There have been occasions (probably bugs) where Jedi have suggested to me that there were more than 5 missions out on them. It may be a bug that occasionally creeps in where a Jedi gets vis before and after training.

what could have happened in that case is :
bh #1 found and accepted his mission for say 100k
jedi in question trained in a box with 8 points a second or two after that bh took his mission
imediately from what i understand his mission amounts change on the terminals sooooo
bh #2 finds his mission for 108k
still only 5 bh missions per jedi
