I know many are against recurring macros, however this one doesn't mess with your combat actions so you should be fine.
And it's simple.
Make a macro, I call mine forcesense, but use whatever you want.
inside it, make it like
/target name1;
/target name2;
/target name3;
/target name4;
etc..
/pause 20;
/macro forcesense;
(mine has over 200 names)
Every mbh you see (like when your examining everyone at MO or whatever) add them to the list. bind it to an out of the way key on the keyboard, and whenever you have to /dump be sure to hit it again.
Whenever they get within range (usually about 170 meters or so) it'll switch from whatever target you have to them.
this does not replace good situational awareness, you still should pay attention to the radar, but this is extremely usefull if heavily populated areas, and mass-spawn areas (where they have plenty of critters to blend into on radar) and when you have your hands full.
Enjoy, my 2c.

That's really too much trouble since almost everyone has a MBH now and the good BHs don't wear there tags. I just say always be ready for a fight and have your foods on your toolbar.
Last night while getting my ID done (Right before I pressed accept too, spent 5 minutes with the ID and had to redo it) a BH attacked and almost killed me since I didn't have my armor up. I statis'ed him and took my foods and put up my buffs then killed him.

yeah but your not necessarily a new paddy either.
I /ex everyone anyway, if I see "has mastered the bounty hunter.." the name gets put into the list.. I don't really need it anymore, helps when a bh is around and doesn't have their tag up.. Only reason I still use it is it gives me that much roleplay, even if just to myself.

yeah but your not necessarily a new paddy either.We have time to deal with 'em.. Those new jedi that don't have hardly any innate, or an ability that freezes then completely, are a bit open.

Well, new padawans have the option to stay off the terms until the point they can defend their selves. I know drive bys will happen since I grinded pre-cu when visibility was an option unlike when the CU hit. Grind with your guildies or close friends, not out of starports or a major city that is known for being grinder friendly.
For the macro itself, not a bad idea a few others have had ideas like that. But last time I did a crafter macro that was around 20-30 lines of code, I ran out so you would have to do combined macros and all those names (could be in the thousands would lag you pretty bad.)
No offense, but you a little paranoid? Examine everyone you go by? Well, it's your Jedi do what you want.

when it's gotten to the point that when I have aura, improved force armor, and high melee def, and get 2-shotted killed, yeah, I've became as paranoid as I was when I was a fresh paddy..
I also believe you cannot stay off the terms, but that is just IMHO, as coming back after a 3 month break and got jumped 15 minutes in upon my return, I firmly believe the system is broke.
