Much of what comes out of the BH community has to do with eliminating spawns in the Geo cave, reducing the ability of Jedi to block, making a "special" weapon that can kill Jedi with one hit, making it harder to be a Jedi. Well, some of that I agree with. I do believe that anybody that spends as much time working toward a profession as a Jedi does should have the possibility of taking down a high level Jedi 1-on-1. Unfortunately, that's just not the case with BH. But... it could be! Make BH a hunted class. Basically, Bounty Hunters are murderers and should be hunted by the legal system (yes, the Empire does "employ" bounty hunters on occasion, but it's under the table). Make it so a BH goes on the "wanted list" if anybody sees him/her kill their mark. A BH wouldn't be able to kill their Jedi inside a crowded cantina without a "wanted dead" poster being circulated throughout the Empire.
Hehe - I can see it now. BH kills baby Jedi in the cantina. BH is "captured" by stormies. "You're under arrest for murder. You will be tried and executed. Oops, darn thishair trigger! Well, guess the trial is out.
PLUS, whenEVER a BH clones, he/she should go back to whatever point they were when their clone was stored; they lose any XP or advancement or money they got between cloning and death.
If the BH can get to master, after months of hiding from the law and trying to not be killed, then they should get weapons that are equally as powerful as a lightsaber, and abilities that are equally as enhanced as animal scare.

Raise cost of investigation a 10 fold, if this class is suppose to be able to hunt players it shouldnt be able to grind in a day or so, Move jedi hunting to MBH . Give tools for MBH to assist in fighting jedi so its more viable. Also perhaps modify the trees and give them a unarmed combat abilities....
-raising investigation cost would get rid of the kiddies who wanna grief
- Raising investigation would make those who REALLY wanna be a BH be one.
- Moving jedi to Master BH means , no more stackers with investigation 3...they can still do npc missions but thats it.
-By giving BH tools to allow them to fight more successfuly against Jedi would make the class more appealing to those who truely want to gain the Title Master Bounty hunter.

if they did this bh may get 2 patchs devoted to them ,and you know what happens then
a third faction would be nice though(criminal)

BTW, while a patch would hardly come by. I suggest that we shoot every suspicious bh npc marks. These marks, as we might aware, usually have the following charactistics:-
a) always alone in remoted areas;
b) got no title;
c) usually running to starports;
Whenever u see one, slain them with you alt (or jedi) with no hestitation. That's the little check and balance that we could strike at this moment.

you have no right to cry nerf to BH about its grind if you havent grinded it
i on the other hand have its hard and takes patience, yes you can finally get 3000 and get jedi missions if you stick to it, i hate BHs that just get that
to make things as easy as possible heres the solution:
MBH can only take jedi missions, that simple

Grinding BH is not hard.
Getting to 0010 sabers is harder than getting MBH.

I disagree with this post. The Bounty Hunter IS the hunter, not the hunted, unless they were to be for some reason wanted by the Empire. As it stands, they do a service to the Empire by hunting Jedi.
The path to MBH is not easy. It is not as hard as Jedi, but it is not easy. I feel that MBH deserves more seperation from the others who dabble in the profession for the ability to hunt Jedi. However, the presence of the BH in the Jedi's life is a neccesary evil.
I also feel that BH's should not be limited to hunting Jedi, and that mission interaction should not me limited to computer generated bounties.The terminalsshould bring up other Player missions as well. Only thencould a BH end up on their own hit list...when they do some type of harm worthy enough of a high price tag and possible consequence for the mission.

In no way should a BH be as powerful as a Jedi. Period.
MBH took me 1 1/2 months to grind out.
Jedi Paddietook me 10 Months to Get.
I would have to agree with you here, but now you dont need MBH .. just get TKM and investigation 3 w/ any other profession polearm, pistol, rifle or carbine.. yadda yadda yadda.. takes you less than 3 weeks.
Besides we Jedi are opertaing on the Combat Balance system and every other profession is'nt. So go figure.

Interesting proposal, but what would the Empire arrest a Bounty Hunter for killing a Jedi that Vader wanted dead?
I think your case would be valid, but who would you hire to kill the Bounty Hunter? Seems like a catch 22. You hire a Bounty Hunter to kill a Bounty Hunter then have to hire another bounty hunter to kill the bounty hunter you just hired. And so on, and so on...
Overall, I think it would be cool if Bounty Hunters were considered "criminals" and were hunted, but I am just not sure who would do it. I would agree that Bounty Hunters that FAIL thier missions should get on the terminals.
