Suggestion:

When Jedi defeats bounty hunter, Jedi gets equal jedi experience as reward for winning. Bounty hunter loses 3 percent of mission payout in investigation points. To prevent exploiting, when bounty hunter goes negative in investigation points, can not take jedi missions until investigation points are back to zero or positive. If bounty takes same mission and loses again, double exp loss.

So if a bounty has banked 40k of investigation points, he would have to lose 3 missions in a row to go negative. If attacks same jedi twice in row and loses both times, would be like losing 3 times in a row.

I dont have an issue with the Jedi gaining xp for a win, though we would have to be careful as that can be exploited for grinding. I do have an issue with the penalty. losing to an alpha class is expected, it shouldnt be punished. I think that would only exacerbate the current issues.

I like the idea about Jedi gaining some amount of experience from beating BH with their mission. Gives some measure of counteracting the current almost inevitability of going into massive negative xp when you're full temp. Some worries about exploiting as a leveling Jedi but I imagine it would be incredibly obvious as normal BH would see the person on terms, in their house constantly, yet increasing in bounty.

I don't think a BH penalty is necessary. For all my annoyance with some of the BH-Jedi dynamic, there is a significant learning curve for hunting in which they're probably going to die unless they're hunting with someone more experienced. That harsh a penalty would just dissuade newer BH from learning enough to be competent imo.

Point of the negative experience for bounty hunters is to prevent exploiting. Jedi could get experience from a bounty hunter by just killing them over and over again with a cloner and a bh terminal. This was a problem in the days of FRS back in the days of live. I knew a jedi who had like 20 guild bounty hunters line up and he would kill all of them for FRS points and then log. Rinse and repeat.

Just because your Jedi is full template, negative exp can still suck. If you decide to change your template, -10 million is a long way to go to zero.
