For The Bounty Hunters
Bounty Hunter DNA Sampling Skill:
Bounty Hunters now have a skill where theyremove DNA fromany player they kill with a mark on their head. This skill is granted at Bounty Novice BH, and gives the BH the required proof he/she needs to claim his/her bounty reward (once a sample is taken the BH will recieve his/her reward).This skill acts as a DB for BH's and a Smuggler who is FDwill be killed when DNA sampling is used by a BH, unless said smuggler uses FD Last Stike (more on Last Strike in "For the Smugglers").
For the Smugglers
Feign Death
Still a Novice Smuggler skill,FD would have % mods on it and the higher you go in the profession (dirty fighting line)the better it works with Master Smuggler having the skill work the best (success as it is now at master) and novice failing a great deal. FD would also be on a timer similar to FOW (a tka skill) in that the skill could only be used one time every 15min.A player who successfully FD's will now also beunattackable.
Smuggler Final Strike
When a smuggler is FD and a BH comes over tosample the Smugglers DNAa message will flash on the smugglers screen "A BH is trying to sample your DNA, what do you want to do?" If you do nothing you will be killed, if you use the Final Strike skill and it fails you die. Final Strike works as a punch or pistol shot to the BH's neck"stunning"the BHfor 10sec making the smuggler unattackable for that time frame. If the smuggler attacks the BH the "stun" timer stops and the smuggler only gains the first shot in the fight. Now smugglers have choice, run or stay and fight. This skill is granted at dirty fighting 1 with the best chance of success at Master Smuggler.
Updated changes to the FD idea and you will notice this favors BH's a great deal more only giving a true master smuggler the chance to escape or stay and fight. I did this based on the point of view the dev's have in regards to FD in it's current state (i.e. that black bar is ok). In other words you will now run the risk of death rather then black bar giving a true resolution to the combat. Enjoy

Sound great.
Darn BHs better not sell thoses samples to a crazy BE tho. "grumble I don't want a pet that is a mix of my Bothan's DNA with a rancor.
being goofy lol While I am sure some will raise points about the DNA sampling, come on, there is a world of difference between coming closer to yank an hair or scrape some skin and the delicate work BE are actually doing, to give them usable DNA.
I think with all the news we got recently your thread got slowed, but it will pick up again I'm sure.

Just one question on the dna sampling. how does taking a skin sample or such kill someone? That confuses me a little. It sounds like it's just a way for a BH to automatically deathblow someone no matter what.
The sample should suffice for winning the mission but i don't think it needs to cause death to the person who you take the sample from. If taking a dna sample killed someone man paternity tests would be costly

Well its a BH he would slice your neck open for the sample not cuta finger nail off.
Also if you FD and he samples and gets payed whats the point? You did not die leaving this idea wide open for exploit.

Or he will plunge a needle right trough your heart or something.
I think the idea might not be that the sampling kill, but if you lay there playing dead when he come over to sample you, you are dead. From the sampling, or a knife accross the throat, or two bullets to the head.

. On a side note though (this is my opinion at least), the decision to not police black barring of FD'd players and treat it as griefing was made not as a statement of design ethos, but merely as one of practicality; i.e. this is what's in game now, the player should know this, ergo we are not going to do anything about it.
