Heck I know Jedi who have BH's alts so when they pop up on terminal they kill themselves to get off and collect the money. So why do you think they wouldnt use a smuggler alt and not even have to lose experience? Heck why not reverse it and have us slice the terminals so BH's get a better payout? /evil


Plus right now with the way jedi have screamed about smugglers specials being used by bh's which might get us nerfed why would smugglers want to help jedi?

I typed this in another post on here a little bit ago but it seems appropriate here as well:






I would also like to see us be able to slice ourselves and other "customers" off the terminals....with a penalty involved though, make the chance to successfully slice a BH term very, very difficult. If you were to fail then:


1. You would end up on the boards
2. If you were already on the boards, your bounty would increase
3. If you were slicing for a customer...their bounty would increase and either #1 or #2 would apply to you


Just some random thoughts.






I could see the concern of Jedi getting a Smuggler alt to take him off the term. But what is stoppping them now from having BH alts to take their mission or their BH friends/guild to do the same. Soultions to this alt problem might be to put a timer on how often you can slice BH terms or limiting the number of slice attempts per period of time. Also if you were successful, the jedi reappears if he becomes "visibe" again. So he/she just can't run out and start swinging their sabers around and throwing force powers arouund immediately after, or their right back on the terms. Just some random ideas.


Plus if the risk vs. reward was too high most might not risk it. Could you imagine a low level (lets say 80K payout) jedi with a MS alt trying to slice the term, fail, then you end up withtheir smuggler alt now with, say, a 40K bounty and a jedi which now increased his bounty to 120K. He/She just made himself/herself even more appealing to those they were trying to avoid.

not a bad idea. I brought it to help add content in the broad game view . . . don't let the current smuggler/jedi conflict cloud your reasoning. If the skill was't a smugglers would you and smugglers weren't getting prosecuted . . . would the idea be sound as something that would add conent to the Smugglers game?

Why pay for something when you can have your alt or your Jedi friends Alt do it for free. That's what will happen and you all know it. Jedi use every exploit and tool to escape. There is no reason to think they would treat this any different.

Lokiman,


I agree that some Jedi will have their alts become smuggler and/or their friends do it as well, but not all of them. Again the same could be said for the alts being BH's and their friend BH's taking the missions so they can run free....but there are still plenty of Jedi out there being killed everyday.

It's much easier to have a smuggler alt to slice a term than it is to have 5 bounty hunter alts to hold all 5 missions.

I'd rather we slice the terminals to add Jedi to the lists


Or, even better, slice the game code toremove all Jedi from the game and make Mellichae invincible

just a thought as a former smuggler


I always thoughtit would be cool if smugglers could slice BH terminals and remove bounties. How much would a jedi pay to be removed from the terminals? This could also add content for smugglers and maybe allow some safety for jedi. Bounty Hunters with current missions could get e-mails saying that the contract was cancelled and the mission poofs from his data-pad much like when someone else does your regular mission .


A wise man once said . . . "there are alternatives to fighting"


thoughts?

Every Jedi would have a smuggler alt. Smugglers would make no money from this and Bounty Hunters would lose the content. Bad Idea.

Jedi are always geting on the terminals so would BHsreally lose content? Or would they now have to deal with making their hunts more effective with the fear that the contract could be pulled adding more content?

I think it would be even more interesting if Smuggler's could slice the BH terminals with small success and TAKE jedi killing missions. Want to control the Jedi population? Give smugglers a go at them too. : )
