Bounty squads are unbalancing the game against the nerfed Jedi at the moment because Jedi can't get help from anyone else during a bounty fight.

The Devs could make Master Smugglers able to assist Jedi.Luke Skywalker's best friend was a smuggler who helped him out in more than a few tight spots. I think Master Smugglers should be allowed to help Jedi who are being hunted by BH's. That would make Master Smugglers VERY popular.

And it goes along with the underworld connections theme, too. Smugglers can deal with people who otherwise could not be dealt with. Since Jedi are considered part of the underworld in the Empire, nothing could make more sense, IMO.

The game mechanic could be something similar to /consent, where a Jedi can consent one (and only one) Master Smuggler to assist him (the same way someone needs to consent a doc to get rezzed). This would make bounty squads more tolerable, and maybe even more fun to deal with, if the BH's didn't know what to expect.

It would make a single BH work harder to catch a Jedi alone.

It would make a group of BH's work harder when a Jedi is in a group.

It would relieve some of the Jedi's frustration with gank squads.

It would boost the Smuggler profession.

It would not break continuity, as smugglers operate outside the normal legal channels anyway. In fact, it would enhance continuity.

Overall, it would also encourage group play.

*edit* - Also, the Jedi would stop crying for a Last-Ditch nerf if it could be used to their advantage in a fight.

Smuggler: "So you have -money-? So you not understand basic?"
Jedi: "Imz leet jedI. Yes! Now help plz! now"
Smuggler: "Payment up front. You can't pay if you're dead. Tip me a hundred grand ."
BH1: "He's only worth 35k man and you're trying to get 100k out of him?"
Smuggler: "35k huh? I see why it takes three of you. Anyways master jedi, I'm waiting." Thats just a laughable line

Smuggler: Yeah your right guys....*looks at Jedi*...make it 500k
*jedi tips 100k 500k to smuggler*
*smuggler performs FD and watches how quick 3 BH's take out a 35K mark*
*jedi dies and you stand up 500k richer and BH's are richer as well*

Your right, profit to be made

Ever stolen something you were slicing and been caught? This is why your method will work. Once. You'll get your 500k, but me being the helpful sort I am, will have repeat customers. Lieing is wrong and so is breaking promises. Have some honor

Taking money and turning your back on a deal is just... wrong. It's so blatent and evil and crass. You want to make a name for yourself on your server as a saviour of jedi. One who is willing to help out whenever they can. More and more jedi will come to know and trust you, and your buisness will flourish. The quick buck rarely pays off in the end.

Of course to help drive buisness you can always add any BH you see to your friends list and let them know which Jedi are with you...
