Has there every been talk of a visibility meter? (Other than a visit from a BH/CM? :smileywink
I would like to know when I get high visibility, etc. A little meter seems just the thing. You might try to stay hidden to a degree, but gain visibility when an NPC wanders toclose when grinding or duels or whatever might gain you visibility.
I have a difficult time determining whether I have or have not gained visibility. It would allow jedi more control as to whether they get on the terminals or not. Then if the get hunted it's their own fault, as we would know the amount of visibility we have at anytime.
Good? Bad?
I have seen posts about you gain X amount of visibility when doing this or X amount while do that. I would even enjoy a window that I could active on/off if need be.
Any feedback?

I would even settle for your trainer being able to tell you how much visibility you were currently generating. The problem with mysterious systems is that you can't prove that they aren't broken. This leads to frustration and dissatisfaction from the players becasue they lose control over their game. Some simple fiction based text from your trainer to give you a clue about your current level of visibility would allow players to know how certain actions affected their visibility and allow them to keep out of sight better if that is the way they want to play their character. Those who don't care to know don't have to go ask.

This would be a great addition.. Lol...but like you said, if you don't know what it is, it doesn't have to work...making it more ...developer friendly.
