Now that Publish 20 is taking the names away from Jedi, which will make it take longer for us to target them and potentially give away our cover, they should give us an option to turn off specific badges, if we want. That way, I can hide my BH badge, even turn off location badges, to help keep my really identity hidden. I use to be an Armorsmith so I could throw up some crafting badges and clothes and play it out that way. The only problem with this is your CL. They should give MBH an ability that changes your CL for a given amount of time.

I never finished MBH pre CU, so when respecs came, I went ahead and grabbed it. Not sure if it's only in time... but because of that I never recieved thebadge. Only thing that gives me away is my scatter pistol, and I try to be discreet on that =P

For anyone that ever played Ultima Online, they had a nifty thing that would be good to BHs. It changes your name and appearance for a limited time. In this case, change your name (devs could just make a lot of fake names to randomize with) and your CL. However, with all things that are beneficial to some people, it has to be worked with so it cannot be used for exploiting or griefing, etc.
Yeah, I played UO at launch until just last year....It was a disguise kit. Lasted for like thirty minutes. That is a very good thought in my opinion...Youc an equip it only after you get a BH mark and it lasts for an hour or something. Changes your name to a default random name as well as your badges, tags, etc...Avatar could even get a random appearance, like a fisherman or something.
Then, upon attacking the mark the kit breaks and you are who you are....Very nifty idea.
That's a cool idea. Maybe make it so Image Designers could craft these things.

Some kind of disguise would be an awesome additional to BH.
I doubt many BH's would have wondered round in SW or IRL displaying the fact that they're a bounty hunter.

Given the current situation BH finds themselves in, you guys need to maintain firststrike if for no other reason than so i dont get further nerfed. If hiding badges helps that, then i'll sign for that one in a flash.
It would also make things very interesting in normal PvP, like it was pre-badges and you never kjnew what the other person had until they used X, Y, Z move and/or weapon

Hmm... Thats a good idea. Give IDs a special ability ( only for Bounty Hunters? ) that will change our appearance, badges, and CL for a certain amount of time that breaks upon attack. This way, if the Jedi is out hunting, we won't give ourselves away.

It should be an innate BH skill. You get it at novice and as you progress up the Investigation line, you can have more control over what you change. All changes could last an hour or so, and have a half-hour recharge time.
Novice = Temporary cosmetic changes (skin color, etc)
Invest I = Badge Hiding (1 Badge)
Invest II = Badge Hiding (5 Badges), CL appears to be as low as 50 (you can select), you can appear to be neutral
Invest III = Badge Hiding (8 Badges), CL appears to be as low as 25, you can appear to be factional (reb or imp)
Invest IV = Badge Hiding (10 Badges), CL appears to be as low as 1, you can temporarily change your name. EDIT: By "name", I don't mean that your name actually changes, just the name floating over your head.
Master = You can do all of the above and change the title over your head to most in the game (Master Ranger or something. lol)
Or something like that.
