I hate this it's FD all over again...and this time I tried to be cool about it but no there has to be that one "person". Never fails everytime no matter the professionor forum, I just hope the wiser jedi who understand LD and Smugglers win the day on this one.

We can be nice as we want, even those of them that are willing "compromise" want to put us in an untenable position. But frankly, the whole Jedi community is borked. These people don't seem ti understand that they're supposed to be *worried* about being hunted, not out to pwn BHs. A win for a Jedi is the BH *not* winning. Period. Now, they need to alter things so the BH has an "easier" time not-winning... like "If the Jedi eludes you for X hours while online and not in a private house, you fail and can't get the mission again for a while", but it doesn't invalidate the basic points, which are...
1. Jedi should be interested in running from, not fighting, BHs.
2. It should be possible to do so.
3. BH terminals are the risk portion of the risk/reward. The Reward is BEING A JEDI.
4. BHs need a risk portion of risk/reward.
This is much how I feel about Smuggler Bounties, and I summed it up on that topic recently, too. Here's what I'd do if I were the Devs:
1. If a Jedi and the BH are both online while the BH has the Jedi's mission, the BH has a time limit in which to kill the Jedi. Time the Jedi spends in certain classic places, such as inside their house, does not count towards this.
2. If the BH fails the mission, they can't take it again for a while.
3. For each BH with their mission that meets the criteria for #1, the Jedi's vis lowers over time. Using powers still generates vis during this time as normal. This consttutes a reward for the Jedi's successful evasion-- as the BHs "lose" their target, the Jedi's "in hiding" status gradually re-establishes itself.
4. Any BH that repeatedly fails missions eventually ends up on the terminals themselves(rather like Smuggler "vis").
And we do the same with Smuggler bounties. I think this would basically remove the problems on all sides. BHs get a more intereting hunt, Jedi of any level stand a chance of "winning" and increased survival, and there's no reason for them not to leave OUR specials the heck alone.
