I can handle bounty hunters getting bounties for me as long as.
A) The visibility for getting a bounty is really hard to get. For example it would take 100 slices back to back to generate the terminal update
B) It is REALLY easy to cancel the mission, I.E /tip contactwithbountyhuntersguild bank 100 to get the mission droped
As you can see, I am not fond of the idea of some d00d CS kiddie bounty hunter being able to attack me.

Ummm yes. Hell yes. Time for some real law in this game. If i choose to break the law, then i choose to accept the consequences of my actions. Those consequences are very laid out in the Star Wars universe... if you botch your job or cheat your crime boss, the consequence is death.
Do you really want to have no consequences for your actions?

Yeah, what he said, bring it on...but...I'll be damned if I ever slice a BH's weapon...seems counter-productive.

I'm a master smuggler and of course I want to be hunted - for perpetrating crimes! I play smuggler because I want to be a criminal and I would expect there to be risks and having other players hunt you is exciting. Plus, I don't have to be a jedi to participate in this action, as jedis also get hunted. Gives the bounty hunters more fun stuff to do as well. This is the kind of gameplay that will keep people playing the game for years and not quite out of boredom. It needs to be implemented.
As for spelling, correct spelling is something that should always be striven for! If you have gross spelling errors, you should expect to have someone try to help you out by pointing it out. I'm multilingual myself and I make an effort to spell my Japanese correctly! (of course, mispelling Japanese is a lot easier and even more painful than English.) Besides, German and English are very similar, spelling correclty in both languages is not that hard. (I know some German as well) In any case, I don't think Nura had that many spelling errors. Just abunch ofminor ones.

I had my first holo as Master Smuggler and have stuck with it ever since. I love being a smuggler but can't wait for the revamp to enhance the experience. As for being hunted by BH I think it's a good idea, but has a potential for being abused.
One on one I'm not sure exactly how well a Smuggler can do against a BH when it comes to a firefight. I think a smuggler should have some "tricks of the trade" to help him evade detection, or toss a device to throw off tracker droids...maybe that's coming who knows.
All I know is (and it was mentioned before) there isn't much consequence for being a MS. Sure I get stopped once in a while, but I'm a covert imp so it doesn't matter to me much. Although the idea of being hunted by one or more BH's would be a thrill, it would be very unfair if we Smugs didn't have an edge to even the odds.
All in all I can't wait to see what publish 11 has in store (maybe we'll even get "records" or serve prison time...lmao just kidding). I look forward to being "hunted" both in space and planetside.
just my 2 creds...

ok lets start an underground smuggler group to protect each other out until the jump to light speed ...but then the bounty hunters will get some ships too then with tracking beacons and killer firepower ...so i hope that the smuggler ships will have a strong defense shield and killer speed to loose and bounty hunter on your tail....
Ya i say we all get with fellow smugglers from our galaxies and start making friends and "CREWS" to give us some added protection in numbers. If this goes down(being hunted)....we are in for one helluva ride!!

What would happen here with feign death? If u stayed with a FD macro running, everytime a BH snuck up on you u could just fall FD and be safe suddenly. Wouldn't it end up a bit pointless?

I'm not a PvP'er, but I wouldn't mind having bounties placed on me for failing a Smuggler mission.

Ok, to perhaps clear things up for you smugglers. There appears to be a big change in bounties on Test Center 2. Reports that indicate only the bh with the bounty is capable of attacking the jedi target. What this means is that you most likely wont have a "whole guild" after you.
This may change back to the current group tef system which frankly kills more Bounty Hunters than jedi. I think most Bounty Hunters like the thrill of hunt and do go solo for their marks. This has a potential to be very cool. I also play a master smuggler on Corbantis and I am looking more forward to that than my BH role on Shadowfire.
If anything, we need to work together in testing to make sure the system works. I look forward to seeing you out in the field.
yes I will be hunting guild mates if they are on the terminals. Its not personal, just business. Chances are the TKA/Smuggler/Pistoleers will kill me unless the combat revamp saves the day for us all.

I do. I thing it will make being a smuggler allot more interesting. I know some people will complain though. I really dont understand why people are ok with being attacked by NPC's but they get all up in arms about being attacked by a PC. Perhaps it is becuase AI is predictable and PC's are not?
Anyway, perhaps under options there can be a "Allow me to be listed on bounty hunter terminals" checkbox so that those who dont care for combat can keep from being attacked.
