Ok one of my jedi last night was on dath near the prison with his buddy killing NS's and rancors. I figured "What the heck, let roll" so i go out there to 1000m out and identify him. i went under cover but too late they had the radar out to 1028m and came looking for me lol. I left for a little bit and they went back to grinding in thier original spot so i swooped in for the fight and saw my jedi was really low on health so i tried to store my bike but it wouldn't store, i kept trying and trying but nothing. I just flew around like an idiot hoping it was lag, then i realized i had agros some creatrure lol. I felt so stupid lol so i left. sometimes it pays to have the volume up loud enought o hear the battle music lol

I turned the music off, because it was annoying. I pay attention to the flashing logo on the upper left.... it's what works for me.


I've only ever seen new contacts on my radar from 200-250 MAX or less. Not that is incoming, but once they cross that 200-250m threashold and "pop-up" on my radar and leave that area, they are trackable and targetable for up to about 700-800M. If I spoke a Jedi because I got to close on an approach, I will make like I was going to grind on a lair or something, finish up and drive out to about 1500m from the Jedi. This way I can lose the radar signature and try again.

Are you saying that you closed to targeting range, did /ex on him, then went to 500m and /cover'd?


You can get the Jedi's name when you land on the planet with the seeker droid. This will also give you the Jedi's location at the time of the identification. Then you can move closer and launcn a seeker set to track the Jedi when you get near the wp. About 200-250 is what I do, and I NEVER get "caught" sneaking up. I will /cover and crawl the rest of the distance into rifle range. Then at 65m you can /tar JEDINAME, if you want to /ex them.


If they are grinding and leave for another spawn, let them leave the 250m thershold and then get on your bike and repeat the process.

its been my experience that you need to get within 1000m of the jedi to get the name off the seeker droid. so i was at 990m out and launched the droid and then went under cover after the dorid left but i think they saw me on radar from that distance so they came looking in my area for me

i was wondering what the target range was. I always was perplexed at how a jedi knew where i was when i'd run and cover up and crawl from 500m. Now i know. Thanks. I'll make sure i always go 1500m out after i identify so i can track him with my droid and stay hidden
