So, in case it wasn't clear - the high level plan for modifications to the player bounty system for pub 28 are as follows
* Hunting via droids is coming back
* Player bounty terminals are being re-instated. Bounties will list the faction of the mark. Hunt your own faction and you might end up with a bounty on your own head. Hunt opposing faction marks and gain standing with your faction. Player marks will not have their names listed on the terminals.
* The empire and the rebellion keep close tabs on who kills their soldiers. Kill too many imperial players and you'll have rebel bounty hunters after you (and vice versa) - bounty fees provided via courtesy of the Emperor.
* Players can still explicitly set bounties on other players, as per the current system on TC. This will immediately make the mark available on the BH terminals.
Subject to testing and feedback.
