Gah, conflicting information again... ok I'll fix my post again but someone needs to fix the jedi faq, lol.
and when FRS is enabled bounties are going to skyrocket. I doubt they will change the bounty calculations so your bounty should go up around 100K for each FRS rank ou have achieved. I guess thats something we will all have to wait to see

Nice beginners guide and yes i am a mbh.
The house and friends rid don't work cause i killed a jedi like that .
256m ain't much help ether and cloak ain't much help as well cause i can get you out of the cloak.
Only one thing that help you is the db timmer i should of just incap instead i let one get away last night. I tried db her 2 times just to be a sport.
Good for you that you get your targets before these are useful to them but um your not the only bh out there and i have succesfull used both tatics against many bh so it works but as he said in the original post wont work ever time.
Water Sports.
Although BHs cannot shoot you in the middle of a lake their droid can.
Since you cannot heal in water this can quickly become a problem. If they are on the bank waiting for you to swim to shore then your in big doodoo since they will have a field day shooting at you as you swim helplessly in front of them.
Logging
You can not log quick enough to avoid death by the average BH. You need a good few minutes to log.
on the speeder section, what i used to do was actually leave the speeder out and let them destroy it.
it was my 1st alert system. i knew it was coming and was more prepared.
that extra 5 seconds helps

Good point. You can especially tell a respec BH when they destroy your swoop while you are in a building they can't enter.
*jedi friend and I are having a PvP contest in the guild hall, which is set on private guild only. jedi friend's swoop blows up right outside*
Friend: Hmmm... must be a BH out there. *laughs* Like I'm going to walk out there now and say 'duh... ah... what happened to my bike?' lol.
Me: What a n00b. Not only did he give himself away but I know you won't go out there at level 32.
Friend: Heck no, I'll just log on my alt and wait for him to leave.
Me: I'm going to go mess with him, he is only level 70, maybe he will pick up my mission.
*I exit the guild hall and go over to where I saw the BH, breaking his +cover+*
Me: Must be a respec BH huh?
BH: No.
Me: lol, right. The swoop was a bit much, and he isn't coming out of there anyways.
BH: I'll wait.
Me: I guarantee he won't come out. He is only level 32. Let me help your wait though.
*I /cityban the BH*
Me: Enjoy being banned from our city, you really shouldn't have destroyed the swoop.
BH: He shouldn't have left it out.
*laughing too hard to deal with BH further, just thinking about how he so horribly gave himself away to a very easy mark had he stayed hidden and not destroyed the swoop*
Me: You're still banned. Have a nice day.
*BH stays in town moving possition from time to time for about an hour, then goes off to find a new mark, lol*
Good tip for fighting bounty hunters:
The burny end of the lightsaber goes in the other man.
Correction: Multipassenger Vehicles is a deathtrap. Try to heal?
They can shoot!
Advince: If Root, then Shoot.
Bio-Crispic + Adv Laser Rifle or another bigass ranged shooter.

Lol this bit made me chuckle. But this guide is ace only problem is some of the smarter BH's out there and yes there are some have formulated ways around most of these but there aint too many of the elite bounty hunters out there and thats a real shame. Ive had someone hunt me for a week and I admired his determination I fought and killed him.... but still he put in such a great effort I gave him a pat on the back.

lather rinse repeat.
forget saberthrow it eats force like crazy
saber throw first thing, this attack will kd 90% of the time you first use it, and that gives you that precious second to a. clear your head(most important if your like me, and not a pvp expert, i tend to panic for a second, and this lets me get back under control), and b. take your foods and spices.
its always my first move(well, right after i hit the kd recovery).
