There were only 2 jedi, Yoda nad Luke skywalker. I remember Yoda mentioning that to Luke somewhere.
Speculation only from thier point of view, mostly because the book writers established other Jedi trained and not trained force users, this is a movie line thrown out in every book since.
Creature handlers did exist in the time period as they are mentioned in a book, Tales From The Cantina i think it was called.
I doubt it, and you still havent explained the other classes I mentioned, but I'll give you that one now prove these:
Rangers,Bio-Enigineers, Image Designers, Fencers, Swordsman, Pikemen
I dont mind the Force Sensitive part but being able to become an actual Jedi does not fit in at all.
Those proffessions that were made up for the game dont fit in much either but they fit moreso than Jedi.
Ok well your hung up on the term Jedi is all. The players are Jedi trained, not full Jedi, period end of story. Even a title "Jedi Knight" we can only assume (Since you do alot of assuming to hate Jedi) that they are not true Jedi Knights, A true Jedi knight is much more capable then the Jedi players. This makes Luke a better Jedi as he gets fully trained, and when Yoda and Vader die Luke is the only true Jedi. Since you hate Jedi you won't accept this, but this is what they were envisioned as in the game. Semi trained self proclaimed Jedi, but not true Jedi. It deals with the Jedi rarity and allows players to be faux Jedi.

Remind me why do we have Bobba's ship in space if u cant hunt jedi with it...a bounty is a bounty..itll be worked on..you'll see
You can hunt Jedi in space, you just get no reward, it's called regular PvP. So go hunt Jedi or IDs, or Dancers, it doesn't matter.
Don't jedi's have their own starfighter (not in JTL atm). What if Jedi's who have ethe ability to use these can have special abilities, but also can get attacked by BH's who have a mark on them?
The Jedi Starfighter is non-flyable, firespray is, hunt Jedi you just dont complete a mission for killing them, they get no advatage, you get no reward, they get no Jedi XP, you get no reward, it's simple. Hiding in space does nothing except spare a Jedi from being hunted they are not progressing thier Jedi skills, so I don't see the probelm. If you want the hunts then Jedi should get to use the force in space and then bye-bye twitch based system, all for a few thousand creds you want to ruin every players game.
Nothing like watching a bh in a firespray and a jedi in a starfighter going head to head...
BH should also be able to get specific skills just in their box also.
Would be fun, but not happeneing yet Jedi fighter is non-flyable.

Ah fair point
It seems that you have won this disagreement, I never thought of the Self trained aspect of the jedi players.
I still feel however that numbers are far too high
Sorry if this made no sense.

I understand perfectly well. The big problems are visability of the profession and titles. It really is impossible to include a type of character and make it only attainable by X number of players in an MMORPG. Any quotas placed on force users makes it a profession that only powergamers get access too, just like rare equipment. FRS Jedi are supposed to be the rare ones, that is why they are limited to 101 on each side they would be the closest thing to true Jedi.

Rikk, don't hate Jedi man. Hate the devs for allowing it.
Oh yeah, I don't whine about everything. I think the log on log out exploit is bad, so is some of the other stuff I've seen BHs do on my server. Namely a Speederbike outrunning someone with Force Run 3.
I don't want any powers in space anyway. I'm going to kick Imperial butt because I'm better.

Jedi aren't gonna be huntable in space...? Well, that stinks. I wa shoping they were. I don't see how it would be hard to implement, seeing as that there IS a waypoint system in space. It'd just make a space waypoint and say "Dantooine System" or "Corellia System" or something...
::shrug:: Then again, I'm not the one who helps make this game. That's just what I think.

If I don't lose xp I don't mind if I get hunted. BUT, I don't want someone in a FireSpray or Aggresor coming after me if I'm only in a Z-95. I have a shot because based on past experiences with MMO Flight Sims I'm decent, but they obviously have a clear advantage.

What's to stop them from logging out to escape bh's?
This is a bad idea. If their force powers don't give them any advantage in space, then you should not be able to hunt them as jedi in space.
Don't you have anything better to do with your gametime than hound other players?

They could just make it so BH's can board the yacht and go after the jedi inside of it, now that would be kind of cool i think.

Lemme guess. You're one of the people that want to be able to invade private houses too, right?

No not really, I am just trying to find an idea that will sit well with both sides, I am sorry to have added something constructive.
Personally I wouldnt like this to be the case, but I thought maybe it would make the BH's feel like they could do something, and give the jedi something as well, because they could always have a group of friends on their yacht to back them up. And why i said this was kind of cool is that it would be rather star warsy to have someone blow in the hatch and board the ship and that is it.
And let me guess, you are one of those people that has to jump on any one elses ideas immediately and try to attack them?

There will be no Jedi bounties in space. Get used to it.
You're a pilot up there, not a bounty hunter. If you get to be a bounty hunter, then the Jedi get to be Jedi, and NO ONE wants that. Think about that, huh? Do you really want PvP in space to be a bunch of Jedi Starfighters using force shielding and god knows what else? No, you don't.
There are no bounty hunters in space, and there are no Jedi. And that's the way it should be.

Boba Fett - Flew in space.
Jango Fett - Flew in space.
Obi-Wan Kenobi - Flew in space.
Luke Skywalker - Flew in space.
Darth Vader - Flew in space.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those5 folks Jedi/Bounty Hunters?
I have a feeling that space bounties will come around sooner or later. But, since Jedi will have no special powers in space, I doubt they would incurr XP loss. Also, as a smuggler, I think it would be fun to try an outrun or outgun a BH. That is, if they ever get around to the revamp.
