Thread: OMG!OMG!OMG! SMUGGLER BOUNTIES!???
Successive failed missions getting BHs on terminals.
Eliminating Jedi names and bounty amounts from terminals while listing faction and online status.
Making BH vs Jedi missions one on one somehow.
Adding Smuggler missions.
However, all of the above are more of a wish list at this time and are not on any schedule that has been revealed by devs.

Smuggler bounties has been discussed countless times. Smuggler bounties and dual-wield weapons have been on a dev "wish list" since the game started. These will not happen, as the devs consistently have much more important things to work on. And no, it wouldn't rock. I don't like the idea of some MRifle/MBH coming out of nowhere to gun my ass down in 3-4 shots because I don't have the Insta-heal the jedi do. A smuggler caught unaware by a BH will get slaughtered. We're a crowd control class, so even if you mix in a combat profession with us, we're still outdone by a raw combat monkey.
I still say this idea is bad, because the players of any MMORPG aren't responsible enough on the whole to be able to play these characters like they were meant to be. I certainly don't look forward to the day I'm minding my own business and I get dropped from 65 meters away...only to receive tells like "HAHAHAHA!! I OWNED YOU! PWNZ0RD BEECH!"
Yeah....real fun content that would be.

And if you'd read, you'd also know that it would be something you would have to accept before you'd get involved rendering your problem with it moot.

doesn't that make sense though?
a Smuggler caught unaware by anyone, isn't a very good Smuggler. 
I suggest you smugglers get the word out to the devs that if you also to be hunted there need to be risk involded for the BH . remember your last ditch shot can do wonder when you almost dead. A few BH use this tacit to take out jedi. I would suggest to you all that BH be limiting to hunting that same mark only once in 24 hours. or you have the same BH coming after you 2 or more time in the same day cause it easy money for them
Also if the BH fails by being DB they cant hunt players for a week
as im sure the devs will have some risk for smuggler that are killed
I RP'd one of these the other night...meeting an old BH friend for drinks, I 'scanned' him to make sure he didn't have a bounty on me.
(actually I was checking to see if he was still married, because...eh, long story. HE WASN'T. *gulp*)
(said check can be done only if you're single...you get a ring and propose. If they're married, it tells you so and won't let you propose.)
(unfortunately, there's no way to UNpropose once the process is started 
)
I'd told him I was running the scan..."Oh, and if a window pops up on your datapad? Just punch 'NO'."
We're still musing 'what if he'd said yes?....'
There's more than enough risk for me with item decay! *holds her pistols to her chest* Not my babies!

Don't pee on my party dude. If you don't want to be hunted- I'm sure there will be a million ways for you not to participate. We've talked about this for a LONG time- and when GM started working on our revamp long ago he seemed pretty down with it too.
As for Dual Wield- I know from the last FF that they actually DID do the animations for it. I don't know what happened after that though. Even if it is a pipe dream- let me smoke it please.
No ones saying your going to get hunted you have to pursue getting hunted, you have push it and some of us want that, some of us can tolerate the 1 out 20 immature tells of how "we got our newb ass pwnd " from a BH. So freaking what. Ppl are going to insult you your whole life in game and out and your gonna let that bother you? Especially if its in text form???
Who cares, at least I know who's an idiot then if they spam me with immature BS afterwards and who to add to my ignore list. Going overt for 2 hours in cheesey looking faction armor (IMO as a smug faction armor looks stupid and as a smug I feel stupid caring about GCW) and not finding one enemy overt is gamebreaking to me. If I could only bring the fight to me (you say its not fair to the unaware smug but in RL an unaware smug... /rollseyes)
For real man. Theres always that old school board game candyland if things get too ruff for you here..
