It's kind of ironic that we're asking to be hunted.


I feel a need to clarify, though... a good point was brought up, that as long as we're not hunted 'just for standing around'. Like the bounty system just cycles through all the smugglers in the galaxy so it's just your turn to be on the terminals. IF getting on the terminals was a CONSEQUENCE to failing SMUGGLER MISSIONS... that would be awesome. There have been a lot of very cool discussions about how this system could work, including adding a 'reputation meter' for smugglers an BH... which I think would be fantastic.


However... what WOULD suck big time would be if for no intelligent reason smugglers got put on the terminals. Like... whenever we used Panic Shot, it raised our visibility.


Oh, christ... I shouldn't have said that...

Where did you get that idea from? I've never even HEARD of getting on the terms on a random basis.

When did you ever hear of us having to loot slicing components?

At least the loot system makes SENSE


For the life of me, getting put on the terms for standing there seemed a very poor reason to get afraid of the bounty system. Meh.

I think he's just saying that he's not advocating randomly getting hunted. =P

I would love to see bounties taken into space as well. I can imagine being on a actual "smuggling run" and having to watch my back, love PVP is space btw. I just wish I could get certified for a YT-1300 and I'm a double imp ace...c'mon.

But anyways I've had a bounty hunter but would love to be chased, just as long as they made evading the BH or killing a BH (or two or three) worth wild.

The belief would be that some players would not be capable of fighting in space, I wouldn't mind doing it, but honestly. If a master pilot bounty hunter hunts his mark who is a tier 2 novice pilot who is in the middle of a mission, then I could see lots of animosity arising.

Not that it matters to me. I think it would add lots of content for us to be watching our back.






This is certainly a valid concern. Dying would not be so bad in itslef, but dying right before the end of your 2 hour long, tier 3 escort mission would probably make people quit.


Hopefully they could have ground based smuggler missions and space based ones (that can only be taken by master pilots). Then you could only be hunted in space if you did the space based missions, but these might pay more for the added risk.

Best way to do player BH/Smuggler missions without griefing is to make them competitive. BH tries to stop smuggler. Smuggler tries not to be stopped. The PvP is *only* enabled during the mission.
