Bounty Hunter Missions

[Hellion493]

Currently, when you obtain a Bounty Hunter mission it remains in your datapad until either you or another hunter complete it. I'm not sure about now, but in the old days, there is an amount of missions that each player has posted to the boards (lets say five). So if five hunters log in and all obtain the same mission - there are no more missions of that player to try to get. I don't believe that system is currently is place here. But what happens when the target player logs off? The mission remains in the hunter's datapad. This doesn't really mean or do anything other than someone out there has your mission.

I may seem biased, but when I login to play a toon I know has a bounty, I always check to see if someone is actively hunting me. This is confirmed by doing a BH or smuggler check on yourself. If someone has your mission it'll show you are "actively being hunted" even when the bounty hunter may not even be online.

My suggestion is to forcefully remove bounty hunter missions from hunter datapads upon a logout. This will allow your mission to go back up on the board (if maximum amount has been obtained on the terminals) as well as allowing the target to ***accurately track when they're being hunted. ***Example being: If I'm on my BH and I grab a mission from the terminal and log out, the target may check themselves and still see they are being hunted - even when I go offline.

This makes sense.

I never used the check to see if someone is "actively being hunted".
Personally makes sense at logout state to clear it, that is you lose you Entertainer Inspiration Buff, you will likely need to obtain a new Entertainer Buff before proceeding to hunt the player anyways. But not to be cleared if you just get a short LD / Link Dead.
