If jedi versus bounty hunters are the theme seems the jedi population is missing jedi terminals to go hunt master bounty hunters. The bounty hunters would gain visibility by interacting with probe droids and the jedi they hunt. We should be able to meditate at shrines to gain our marks missions and locations. If your MBH mark is on another planet the shrine tells ya that, and so you go to that planet and to a shrine there to get an update on yur MBH mark. Maybe get 250k jedi xp and the mark losses 250k in credits with you gettting 125k of it and with the ability of the mark to go 10 mill in the hole. Be nice to make MBH fear going AFK eh? Would make the game a bit more fun and balanced. Who wouldn't have fun tracking down MBH and doing a kill upon one? Just an idea. I'm sure the Bh folk will flame this since they don't want to be afraid of playing.

Here's the difference. (#1) Jedi are more powerful than bounty hunters. Bounty hunters get first strike for a reason. (#2) If a Jedi wants to play the game without recieving visibility or being hunted, he gets an alt on the same server. Nobody else--not even bounty hunters--get the same benefit.

Alrighty a Bounty Hunter! Now all I need is the option to hunt. Now the question that needs answered is a jedi more powerful than a MBH with 2 elite professions mastered? I just love those statements. Is a MBH more powerful than a paddy who just finished his trials. Of course not. Hence the argument falls on its face there. So it bothers you if MBH gets visibility by hunting Jedi? Then go hunt NPCs that would solve that problem. Seems to be one way street of griefing. Sure next you say "well you were told that when you became jedi". And the reply to that statement would be the game mechanics was far from being what it was today. After all a Master Bounty Hunter used to require both Master Marksman and Master Scout. If this condition existed today I would agree about Jedi being stronger. And would you be a Master Bounty Hunter if you did not respec into the profession? It'd be funny to see all the numbers of MBH who are respecters. Alas I have gotten off topic of this threed.
Would MBH start being more afried if they could be hunted back? Right now I just don't feel them fear me.

Fixed-- highlighted in red.
also, many many many Jedi choose to make their alts crafters. so doing quests/pvp ect is kind of hard unless you use a jedi

Bounty Hunters hunt Bounties. It is in their NAME. BOUNTY HUNTERS.
If you want to hunt players so bad, that's what your alt is for.

I've been itching for a systelm like this for ages now. Seems completely logical to me. And I have both a full spec Jedi and Master BH/CM so there is potential for fun on both sides. Last time I checked (assuming we're still basing this game off of the actual Star Wars Universe) Jedi in Episodes 1,2,3 and games and storiespost-6 were sent on assignments to investigate, and if necessary, take out entities (including Bounty Hunters) who were causing enough trouble to draw attention to themselves. Sounds an aweful lot like a warrant for a BH visibility system to me. I personally would like the challenge, on BOTH sides. Hell I would even like to see a system where BH's could take out one of the other BH's who picked up the same Jedi bounty. Again, totally logical. Remove your opponent before going after yourprime target. But I'm getting off the subject, I apologize.
I don't care if there are a million Jedi, and a million BH's. Make the system fully two sided, remove negative exp and change it to a prestige system similar to Pilots, and you would in turn have more on both sides who WANT to fight anytime, anywhere. Sure, keep the potential FRS system in the works for those who make the choice to ascend to it. But right now, when i'm playing my BH, too many Jedi either run or stand there and take the death to clear their vis... I personally wouldn't mind the thrill of having to watch my back as a BH.
Star Wars Universe, right? There is really no justification for NOT having a two way system. It fits the genre completely and would add an element of fun to the grind. I've been playing since release and fully understand the gripes of pre and post CU professions, including Jedi. There are a lot of good points on both sides. But this one seems like a no-brainer.

Yes Silversky I'm a bit bored and would like to go after Bounty Hunters. To sneak up on them, stop their evil doing. I sorta thing the FRS is a myth, not going to happen. So why not have something else in place. Would this not give jedi somethig to do? I'm not asking to take away any Bounty Hunter Content, but asking for a little something to hunt.
I just enjoy hearing the fear in the MBH voices crying no to this idea.

dude, you try obeying the "viz rules"... Ya can't really help it when a group of 8 comes speeding through the middle of the group, and thanks to lag neither they nor you saw each other untill they were past... Or when the shuttles just so happily drop an entire squad of 10 storm troopers right on top of you. (does this happen to anyone else 5 times a day?... and I'm imperial damnit)

I am all for Jedi hunting BH's. I have been suggesting it for months. I don't think BH's should be penalized in a way that makes them not want to be BH's though. Taking away all there credits seems a bit harsh. Maybe a few credits and a delay on how long they can hunt jedi, ie they loose some some respect and no one will hire them till they get some more invenstigation xp hunting npc bosses. The can get in the hole with lost respect and have to earn again. Things should be fair.

Please make sure when they die they loose a INV box. If they die twice before they get that box back they go negative inv points.
