This might have already been proposed, in fact I'm sure it has, but I'd like to get caught up, been off and on with the galaxy for awhile.
What about getting a bounty hunter after you for actually completing a mission on time? Let's say I've just run a shipment of guns through to the rebels (hoping they put in rebel smuggling missions), and I got spotted by Imp troops, shot at, but still made it on time. Not only did I probably take out quite a few Imp soldiers in the shootout, but the guns I just got through probably killed countless more. Shouldn't the imperials get a bit pissed?
Just a thought, and like I said, not really an original one. I just noticed something like this wasn't mentioned in the concept docs, and wanted to get a bit of feedback on it, even if it isn't official. Maybe I missed a dev shooting the concept down or something. If so, feel free to call me a newb.

I would pretty much assume there is a bounty on every Rebel officers head in the time frame we are in. The problem is ther is not the vast amount of the outter rim to hide in that there was in the movies.
With a finite amout of planets we have to assume that there are some times we are deep in hiding so we can do the things we would normally do from a hidden base on a remote world.
What could happen is a Smuggler mission could be assigned a visabilty value. If you run guns into Bestine and have to shoot the garrison apart to make the delivery your not really Smuggling your assaulting the town. Your customer wil not be happy (you have blown their cover). The remaining Imperials will not be happy and the person who gave you the mision will not be happy as you have driven a clinet of thirs into deep hidding and prevented them from doing what ever mission they wher ment to be doing. So I am not sure this would count as a success. It would how ever add to your visabilty rating and could indeed lead to a LARGE bounty being placed on your head.
Personally I like the Idea of stronger and stronger NPCs come after all folks attacking the town garrisons Its equally sily to see the Imperial AT ST camping every alleyway in Coranet as it is to see the Bestine garrison getting shot to bits all the time but thats a debate for the GCW forum.
