Hmmmmm. Most BH's are people like you and me. I detect more whinning from you right now than what I expect to be generated froma BH/smuggler systemSecondly, the only reason for the LARGE tension between BH/Jedi is because of Jedi xp loss. Smugglers won't have that. Can you imagine what it is like to be beathblown by a BH making you lose a whole HOURof hard grinding????? That is where the beef is. Believe it.
Thirdly, the actual bounty system works quite well right now. There don't appear to be many bugs holding the system up, contrary to what you say.
Fixed
Despite my running around overt, I've never seen another single player around overt. Should hang out in DS more often.

Just curious but how many Smugglers are ready for Real Smuggling content and everything that comes with it? Such as smuggling cargo through space, past blockades sneaking past local authorities, getting contracts on their heads for their illegal deeds and having player BH's tracking them down?
Im especially interested in seeing how many Smugglers are looking foward to BH vs Smuggler bounties.
I was BORN ready!!!!!!
Im glad they are going for NPC bounties only as a test bed because i seriously think youll need it.
Those who are desparate for content at the expense of everything else i can understand but you will just end up with a situation where the proper fun content comes with a PVP tag attached. If you really love PVP then seriously its good but there are always elements within every profession who prefer PVE or RP and intrusively being hunted will disrupt this and call for changes nerfs and so on. This in turn disrupts your community just look at jedi, the infighting as people look for different advancements to your profession based on their gaming style splits people and leads to problems.
Dont turn away from player bounties i think the BH/Smuggler thing due to no XP loss could be very good for the game but dont go blindly into it thinking its the best thing since sliced bread. 90% of the "every patch is a jedi patch" complaints are due to fixes needed because of the player bounty system, that tells you something about both the implementation and human nature, people will always try and find a way to be better and often cheat.
Keep your eyes wide open on this one and if it gets put into test make sure you get everyones view and a waide range of smuggler playstyles testing it not just those who PVP alot.

Very good post i think jedi know better than anyone about this type of system and my alt is a jedi so i know how much fun it isnt not to be able to go out and do things because you are on the terminals even if you got there by accident.
As i said before BH should try and capture and let me talk to the mission giver this way me being taken away from what im doing isnt an issue because something has come up which i need to take care of being incaped and end up in a cloning facility because i dont have a pvp template isnt fun at all.
As the jedi in me accepts this system and is prepared to work with it as a smuggler im not, its not why i became smuggler and its not the thing my character is dependent on, as someone who tries to rp his character i cant see a plus to the smuggler bounty system especially at this stage when we dont even have any missions or have any details of any missions.
And it could be worse, they could capture us, freeze us in carbonite, and plop us in Jabba's palace till our friends come to rescue us. Now that would suck

I love the idea - but I may have to rethink my Smuggler/BH template. Just wouldn't seem right chasing myself around.
I had a dog that did that once - Finally it cought up with itself and bit its own tail off.
His name was Dozer and he was a Shi-Tzu. I loved that dog - till it became a freak with no tail.

I'm not ready for it....
my big reason is i am an RP er and it seems to me BH hunting players is going to atttract powergamers galore... If somebody is gonna show up and fight me i wont mind if i lose but it will be a big waste of my time if there isnt some good rp involved.. judging by what i hear out of BH v Jedi RP is just not on the menu and its not just the jedi's fault on that one
