just have to look for awhile but someone out there may have some to sale
Ouch... that's pricey. I may have to take up DE again.
Now that BH's don't get payout amounts up front, it gonna be a might difficult justifying buying 80k single use bombs for use on a mark that might only be worth 70k.
I picked up a couple of 35det mice to play around with. Set one off on a cloaked mark that was standing afk out front of the Starport in Theed... only did 750pts. Then I tried one on an AFK Jedi MDef on Lok... did 1500 pts. /shrug

Something for you to consider, with the new missions currently on TC....
Now, if we average out the entire life cycle of a single crate of Seekers, the BH should be able to pull 125 missoins before he runs out. 125 missions @ a payoff of 30k per mission is 3.75 million credits. That is only from the actual mission payoffs from an NPC target. Typically, that will cover armor, weapons, food, droids, travel, speeders, and other assorted costs, with approximately 1 million credits to spare. Now, figure in that the BH will more then likely gain at least 1 Uber loot per 20 marks that will pull1 million at action, for a minimum final pay off of 6 million credits.
The Loots are pretty nice off of Elite Marks. +15 Experimentation, +10 Defense, +10 Accuracy, etc. Those are a few of the loots that have seen mentioned in /tcpa in the last 24 hours. And the Elite BH marks are dropping...... Bounty Hunter Armor Schematics

I was referring to the use of bomb droids against Jedi player characters... the payoffs for players run from around 50k-226k, with most of the missions tending to 220k+, but the success rate on those drastically lower. Meaning, I'm more likely to waste the droid than not. Using one on an NPC mission would be idiotic.
And speaking ofNPC missions, to put it in perspective for those that haven't groundtheinvestigation tree, those 125 bounty hunter missionsare gonna take longer to pull off than400 - 500straight faction missions... the total cash return (not including the new loots) isn't really that much different. With2 level 79-83 faction missions off of the Imp term in Kaadara, I'm biking out 1500 meters or so... killing them both for a return of 20-25k and a big chunk of faction, and biking back to oull 2 more. With a single NPC mark (can only take one at a time) I have to bike out 500 meters, launch an Arakyd, wait several minutes for the update, travel to the target planet, use a seeker, wait several minutes for the update,bike 4 - 15kliks into the boonies (or take a shuttle to a nearby player city I haven't been banned from 
), take down the mark, bike back to the starportand travel back to the terminals in Kaadara.
Just saying that justifying increasing your priceswith any expected increase in BH income is definitely counting your (my) loot before it drops. In other words, I'll believe the drop rates when I see 'em on Live.
I did go shopping for bombs on Sunrunner yesterday. I found a vendor with crates of 5 det35 mice for sale for 30k each. His R3 det53(?) bombs were a lot more than I was willing to pay tho'. 500k for a box of 5. If I failed even half my Jedi marks I'd lose money.
