New BH System

Ok I have been thinking about this for a bit now and seems like it would make BH and Jedi on the same level in a sense, here goes. So we wanna keep the jedi unlock system a mystery then it would be ideal to also make BH alittle mysterious, make the BH terminals only give different faction bounties and if the BH is factionless allow them and only them to get a bounty from either faction but once that BH attacks that bounty they get flagged to both factions. What you think?

No offense, but i dont get the point you are trying to make with this. My interpretation of this is you want BH's to only be able to hunt same faction? No thanks

Assuming you're talking about a faction TEF for BH/Jedi: in my eyes idea this would simply make BH/Jedi a game of who has the larger group, similar to group tef (which I am not a fan of either, but for a different topic).

I think the current system works just fine.

I would like them to be forced to choose a faction at master bh like jedi have to but not perma overt requirement. Too many bhs using the neutral thing there definitely was not this many on live.

The reason behind my suggestion is because BH know exactly what they need to do to grind out BH, but not having any hint at all to unlock jedi would make these 2 professions on even ground I would think. I mean even the hologrind of 2003 had holocrons that gave some kind of hint, wasn't a HUGE hint but pointed you in the right direction at least.

The system here is different than live. Here it makes more sense and avoids using same faction hunting (which never made a lot of sense to me).

These two professions aren't in the same league. (Could you imagine the crying?)

You aren't going to like my suggestion. I don't think bounty hunters should be part of any imperial or rebel faction. They should be loyal to the almighty credit and bounty, not a flag. BH will never be an alpha profession on Awakening, elite for sure, but never alpha.

What's wrong with that response? I have Sainted as a neutral. He doesn't care if you're a friend, the same faction, opposite faction, or if you're in the same guild as one of the multiple personalities he shares head space with. If you're on the boards, and I can find someone else hunting you, he's gonna go. He doesn't even care about the credits. It's all about being able to kill a jebi.

Money talks, end of discussion. My MBH is always going to be chasing those credits, rebel or imperial.

I can definitely understand that, and agree that a good majority of BH would gravitate towards neutrality. I can also see grounds for them siding with one side or the other.

The Rebellion needs soldiers. Badly. They will do whatever they can in order to bolster their ranks, including squandering Bael Organa's remaining wealth on hired soldiers. These soldiers don't particularly believe in the cause, and, of course, still do work on the side.

The Empire wants to snuff out the Jedi, as well as any especially hard-to-get Rebel terror cells. For that they would employ a roster of soldiers with a "very particular set of skills", and dispatch them to assassinate high profile targets. It's far more cost effective and efficient to hire skilled bounty hunters than to raise and program a specialized crop of clones.

The other angle would be an ex-BH or ex-soldier who uses their skills/motivations from their previous career in their new one.

No particular path is absolute, and I could see justifications if a BH decided to align one way or the other and still have a valid RP persona based around it.
