If you can't fix the clone camping I see no choice other then to disable Jedi missions on BH terminals.
I think the best solution is to design a new system. Put in place a new faction for BH.. Jabba faction, underworld, or just simply a Bounty Hunter Faction.
For instance... you could have missions given out by Darth Vader. He asks for a group of BH's to hunt down and capture a particular Jedi... He intends to perhaps turn to the dark side. The BH's are given a net gun to capture the player after incapt them which instead of a DB transports them to a holding cell where Darth Vader pays them a Visit. He gives them a choice to turn to the dark side or die. If the jedi chooses death they are wisked away to the nearest clone center just as if they had been DB'ed.
Jedi characters or Bounty Hunters, it doesn't matter, Jedi suffer now, and Hunters pay for it later.
Right now Jedi are being grief-incapped by too many ass-hats and effectively can't play. These folks may as well just unsubscribe, especially if they lose the Knight, Apprentice, or Padawan box. Is that what you want? Is that what you intended?
Of course Hunters will pay for this later, as "their content" stops logging in. You all know that the WoW beta is about to start, right? Do you expect all servers to display a "light" load-level going forward?
Unbelievable.
I can't wait to read the next GameSpy article.

This has turned into a game of apparantly sanctioned grief play.

Ok another Jedi-Mission Bug i saw yesterday.
I am MBh on Farstar, was getting a Jedi mission in the evenening. My Droids got that Target and i followed him to Tantoine. 1 Minute before i got there, a seeker droid told me, that the target has gone offline.
Even after that i wanted to take a look at the Waypoint,it was a Guildhall. 1 minute later 2 other BHs arrived and we were talking about the Jedi missions.
One BH (hedidnt have a faction, he is neutral)told me, that he was fighting the Jedi, but was incapped then by a Jedi-grouped BH from the same guild as the Jedi. How is that possible? How can someone attack a neutral Player? He wasnt overt(=>neutral) nor could he get a TEF.
As we were discussing about that( about 5 minutes now after the jedi logged off) the mission suddenly disappeared from all our datapads. I wrote a Bugreport and a Customer ticket and explained everything to the CS agent, that took care of that. His comment was ,that it is the design of the game, that missions will be incomplete if the Jedi logs off......and that its not a bug.
So all a hunted Jedi has to doto is grinding jedi xpgroupingwith some other guildmembers(non-jedi professions), that can take all incoming BHs down and then run quickly in a Guildhall, where the BHs cant enter, and log off??
well, i got a mission last night and the tracking worked great. very fast. i like.
the problem was that the jedi was blue to me. he didn't even believe that i had a mission for him. i was declared imp and he said he was a light jedi. quite annoying, but the guy was cool.
the worst part was that he rode off, then i was talking to my rl wife. well he rode up again and i don't know how it happened because i wasn't paying attention, but he started engaging me and i went down before i even knew it had happened. very annoying, but i'll blame myself (and my wife) for that part.

After browsing through this thread, I'm just flat ashamed of the way some BH's are acting. Griefing a Jedi just because you can is something that only a 12 year old on a testosterone high would even consider.
Several fixes:
1. Mission goes incomplete30 seconds after Jedi incaps, no matter who/how he was incapped.
2. Move Jedi Hunting to Master BH only
3. Remove the ability of BH's to group when they have a BH mission. (probably technically a nightmare)
As it stands now, because of the griefing by the juveniles, I see a major nerf coming that people aren't going to like.
On those 15...10 were not online but were online in my friend list. For the 5 others... I got all excited! Woot it really work!! Got pumped, arrive on planet, send seeker...get an update...SWG CRASH!!! Ok not bad it update and crashed... i relog, go at the mark hoping he didnt moved...of course he didnt! He was working his skill inside his house! On the 5 missions who were working, 5 jedis were inside their house working. What is more frustrating is that their other chars come up and telling me to go away that i'm now the only bh who passed here and to leave them alone... I got even a mission where the name of the jedi were not a valid char...Proposition!
First: Fix the codes about the 'not online' droid because the jedis know how to use it and they are! Getting tell from them saying that you cant hunt them with seeker is a little frustrating. Give us tools that really work!
Secondly: For the jedi clone camping, fix the codes again so when they die by the hand of a bh all the missions on him are no more viables.
Thirdly: Its really annoying the BH community, jedis macroing INSIDE their house at SAFETY. Jedis should not be able to work their skills inside their houses. Its simple has that... To fix that its very simple, using force skill disable you the ability to enter any house or building type for 5 minutes. If i want to play house fighting i go play ultima online!
The devs said that not everyone could be master jedis... so please stop to say that we ask too much. It will be a fair fight with working tools in our hand. You knew what being a jedi would be...the devs always said it would not be easy that only a few could be master jedis. Its normal then we ask for working tools and correction about the afk house macroing. Saying any justifications about using the afk house macroing is not viable, like i have a life you know, you have a life and dont have enought time to play that game, dont play it, its simple as that... you want to macro afk its ok... you still can but it will be outside of your house and not at safety. My list of inside house macroing jedis start to be long since my bh friends who hunt jedis too share the info about them and we report them.
