Unless there is/was some bug going on, I just saw a Bounty hunter hit one of his marks for 10138 damage. This was right outside of the starport in kor velia. I was killing the instant spawn meatlumps for fun at the time and suddenly I saw that number in red flash over a rodian NPCs head. Unfortunately the guy would not respond to any of my /tells asking him what the hell he used for that kind of damage. (he was using a LLC for the attack.)


Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe he just stacked a bunch of knockdowns or something caused you to read the number wrong.

I think it is a bug with the numbers showing. I saw the same thing by a non bounty hunter on dantooine when he was attacking a lair. Truth is if any BH hit there mark for that much it's a one hit kill as they have around 10k ham and I don't know any BH that can shoot for that much.

Oh, what are you worried about. That was probably a lucky, everything-at-top-value, perfect condition shot. That means that he may only hit for 5000+ at any other <Bang!>.... <splat>...
Time...

I think it might be similar to when you walk within range of someone else's lair that was loaded previously by your client but has now taken damage and like -3780 flash over their heads? gotta be.

i saw this happen too, when a master BH killed a guy, he told me that it is a bug, that when you kill something sometimes the final hit will register as its total HP, but he really did not shoot the target for 10k in one shot.

It's just a loading/lag issue, I've seen it a few times on lairs, other people shooting at creatures, and it happened to me once or twice before.
