Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

Would anyone be interested in a star wars thread where you start as a bounty hunter and roam around tracking down high paying bounties from all around the star wars universe. You would buy new weapons, equipment and ships as you gain money and try and make an infamous name for yourself. Since i'd be only giving a few missions at a time for you to choose from, this means you might encounter each other and you can either fight or join up to take down the 'mark' which should make it more fun. If people are interested i'd design and plan it in detail when ive got some time on holiday.

You would get to choose from a wide variety of:
- Weapons
- Equipment
- Armour
- Ships/Vehicles
- Races
- Bounties

With the options of customizing your own equipment, weapons, armour and ships.

This thread would hopefully create competitive competition between two or more posters.

So.. what do you all think? Any suggestions? Would anyone be interested?

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

that sounds interesting

only question is about certain infamous hunters already in existence, i.e. Boba Fett. ( the greatest )

other then that it sounds cool.

DC-15 Blaster (Clone Trooper pistol)
DH-17 'Carbine' Pistol (small, simple and very light-weight carbine blaster)

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

Oops forgot 4-LOM, when I saw the robot bit about IG-88 I didn't read the name and thought that it was 4-LOM, stupid me for scanning quickly. And yeh that would be great for a list of ships and such. Since I actually play SWG I know about a good variety of weapons, armour and species. Was going to include stuff like that, wasn't too sure on ships though.

Timeline wise I was going to do it before or close to episode 1, if I recall the bounty hunter guild was destroyed later on sometime after the clone wars but before the rest. And I wanted to use the guild in this thread. Im not going to do any major planning yet until I get more feedback and possible interest in the thread.

Tenlos Disrupter Rifle (Sniper-style rifle, can charge energy bolts)
DEMP-2 Gun (EMP weapon)
FC-1 Flechette (mix between wide shotgun or shrapnel to explosive ball hurler)
Concussion Rifle (Powerful assault weapon, seen on those big mech-like storm-troopers in Dark Forces and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy)
PLX-2M Portable Missile System (lock or non-lock options, this is a multi-purpose kitchen tool of a Hutt)

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

I will be Boba Feta
Like Boba Fett but a little more Cheesy


And AFAIK the BHG was still alive after EpIV V VI; when Boba Fett re-emerges from the sarlacc he encounters them (cant atm remember whether he joins em or takes em on... I think both )

It depends on the time period as to whether Boba's the only Mandolorian left ofc and what's to stop a bounty hunter taking the lightsaber off a dead jedi/killing a jedi for his lightsaber?

interested

Well......... In the New Jedi Order: The Unifying Force:

[INSERT SPOILERS - Stop reading now if you don't want to know]

He has trained a new group of Mandalorian warriors to fight the main baddies. Granted it's only a small cameo role, but if we include the novels, AND this takes place aprx 25 years post Return of the Jedi, then that statement is false.

[/end Spoilers]

Don't forget the Imperial Repeater Rifle - 3 barrels, shoots out energized metal bullets (okay, I B.S.'ed that part, at work , no resources in front of me ATM)

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

Corran Horn owns, but he wasn't a bounty hunter, nor was Kyle Katarn. Kyle was a Republic mercinary, Corran was a Rogue Squadron pilot...

Difference between Mercinary and Bounty Hunter:

Mercinary:
Hire for jobs that may include espionage, assassination, infultration or rescue.

Bounty Hunter:
Hunts people with a price on their head, such as criminals or people that have crossed a Hutt Lord.

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

(taken from IMDB.com, summary of SW: Attack of the Clones (underlining added)) "...he finds a massive clone army being produced, with a bounty hunter - the last of the Mandalorians - named Jango Fett as the master clone. As he chases the elusive bounty hunter, Jango (and his cloned son Boba)..."
Boba is not the last Mandalorian (he is Mandalorian), as it is blatantly obvious that the clone army eventually becomes the stormtroopers, (Boba gets the armour after his father dies)(this might be wrong, its a while since i saw the film, but luckily, i'll be away for 2 wks from now, so i wont have to face the criticism:P), oh and another bounty hunter, AT-88 from Jedi Knight (might be a mercenary, not sure).
i am interested, will think of a char once i get beck from hols.

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

Ah, but you forget

The Mandalorian Clone known only as Boba Fett was completely unultered, and the Clones used during the Clone War (by the time of Episde 4: A New Hope), all of those clones have been wiped out.

What most people instantly think is that Clones became Stormtroopers... but Stromies are not even the decendants of the Clones. Mandalorian Clones (the Clone Army) lived to 50 cycles, stormtroopers, such as Davin Felt (a very well-known AT-AT trainee that was moved to Tatooine and defected within the space of a month) live up to normal ages, due to not having the genetic structure of Increased Growth.

What is more is that Stormtroopers where a similar armour due to one fact:

Clone armour was built to resist Blaster fire, Storm Trooper armour is an upgraded armour, but are not exactly forced under the same genetic regime as the Clones were.

Another way to know Storm Troopers as not being Mandalorian is that the Clones were programmed to take orders from the Republic and the Jedi. The Strom Troopers, however, were trained specifically to destroy the Jedi and any traces of them.

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

As the clones are killed in battle and the cloning facility is shut-down/destroyed or whatever, the cloned troops would have needed to be replaced. So the remaining clones would all be stuck into units that would gradually get smaller and smaller. While other more mundane troops would have been drafted. Eventually you'd run out of clones and would be left with normal draftees. These draftees would become the Stormtroopers.

The clones are certainly not imperial stormtroopers, the only relation they have to the stormtroopers is that they are what came before. Most importantly there are no (known) clones running around by episode 4. The stormtroopers are all normal draftees extensively trained and brainwashed to fulfill a similar capacity.

The armour is similar because it's a later model. Consider the armour clone troopers wear as being mk1 while stormie armour is mk2 or 3.

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

Surely Stormtroopes aren't clones. They have to go through the academy. And Clones can't be stable when under accelerated growth, unless they're in a force bubble (Ysalimiri)




And also - http://forums.gameon.co.uk/archive/index.php/t-3674 <-- Search for Fett, read the first para it appears in. See? I wan't making it up!
http://members.tripod.com/~prequelrumors/preq.html <-- search for "fett prior" and "Concorde Dawn"

Think it's in The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy that it explains how Fett got his armour; at least, that's the way it did happen, maybe not any more...

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

Thrawn broke the minimum time limit for producing stable clones by using Ysalamiri. It's still possible to get accelerated growth without them, but the limit's like 8 years or something (probably wrong, not read the Thrawn books for a while, but it's some prohibitive length of time) to produce an adult clone without them.

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

We would be interested if the thread does not stay so completely formed to the star wars universe and allowed some imagination eg. own races, blasters within reason ofc.

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

I'd just like to point out one thing before i leave the forums for a couple weeks, all the stuff i have put down has been taken from the films, and the dark forces series (DF, JK1, 2 and 3). Also, i dont remember the cloning faciltiy being destroyed, and although the first batch of clones took orders from the republic, due to their short life span by the time the imperials come to power most of the original clones will be dead, so the fresh ones can be made to take orders from the imperials (this is pure guesswork, however so is most of the star wars universe except the films (and the directly related games), so it is just as reliable as most of your evidence (no mention of the stormtrooper academy in the films, for example)), oh and wraith, the clones only need to be within the yalsimari bubble at the start of their growth, otherwise they would be useless in warfare. however much of this discussion cannot be solved until the 3rd film is released (or someone steals the script). Although the books are set in the SW universe, they do not necessarily follow the plot (would you expect a game set at the same time as Final Fantasy 1 to include parts of 8-bit theater for example (rather extreme, but shows what i'm getting at)?).
8 years isnt really prohibitavely long to make a clone, seeing as the cloning factory is so secret, and once the clones have started there will be a constant stream of them (if 100 cones are started each day, there will still be 100 finished each day after the gestation period, it will just take longer for the first batch)
Although there is no mention of clones from ep4 onwards, there is no mention of a drafting scheme either.
Oh, and Crazyboy, although Kyle is alright to play as due to the powers, he is the most annoying character in videogaming (a PC ZONE poll found that he was the character people most wanted to hurt (Rosh from JK3 was 2nd, Bastila from KOTOR was 3rd), and this was out of every character in all PC games (even an unnamed crewman from Star Trek: Elite Force ended up in there).

a small question about the thread: roughly what time is it set? (eg about the same time as KOTOR, Ep1, Ep2, Ep4-6, or Dark forces/ Jedi knight, or some totally different time so we cant use the events from these to get more money (by mugging Kyle Katarn for example))

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

Okay, my knowledge is rusty also, but here goes.

NORMAL clones take aprx 5 years to clone or something like that. This is in the Thrawn books. The Ysalamiri were used because creating a clone of someone still alive, the force would make the clone go insane due to pressues, and thus they were able to create the clone in something like 3 months (I might check the books/internet resources when I get home). Thus the Ysalamiri were needed DURING THE ENTIRE CLONING CYCLE to grow a healthy clone.

As for the other materials, all books as of now HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY Lucasarts, as in they are "canon" so to speak, espicially the New Jedi Order (think George Lucas gave persmission or something).

As for the troopers STILL being clones by Eppy 4, pratically EVERY source says that they are draftees by that point. I'm at work right now so I can't go into most of the examples, but essentially all the clone troopers we saw in Eppy 2 are gone by eppy 4.

As for your point about 8 years not being a long time, it IS a long time in war, espicially when you have billions of people fighting. If you have to grow clones during a war for 8 years, you better damn well hope that they are well behind defended lines and that you can hold out.

Also, I MAY be wrong, but if I recall the movie right, those clones are grown from infancy to adulthood in a normal time span (maybe some acceleration), thus it takes even LONGER to grow them.

Finally, NONE of the official novilizations of the eppy 4-6 movies mentions clones are stormtroopers. Only mention of clones in them are references to the clone wars, thus supporting the idea that the stormtroopers are recruits, drilled to follow orders like clones. In fact, Grand Admiral Thrawns (ultra-cool character), cloning chambers were in the emporer's storehouse, which were TAKEN from the time period of the clone wars, for during the Imperial time, there were no more cloning chambers LEFT! Without cloning chambers, you can't clone more troops, thus need to rely on olf-fashion recruiting.

And finally, I like Kyle Katarn, hate Rosh, and Bastilla get's cool points for mind-f*cking [spoiler free zone, sorry].

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

We'll i'll be planning this in detail over the next 2-3 weeks. Especially when im on holiday as I doubt there will be much else occupying my time. I was going to set it before episode 1, so that we don't have confusions like this. The Republic would be in charge, with a slight growing threat from the seperatists. This would have been a prime time for bounty hunting, as the guild would still be around and such. Although we could set it later on, like after episode 6, this would allow more freedom with weapons and races for obvious reasons, possibly including making your own weapons and races.

Make a suggestion on the sort of timeline you want.

Re: Bounty Hunter thread interest post..

Personally I would say pre-movies timeline would be the best, for unless you use a period SPECIFIED in a comic/novel, you run the risk of annoying people by messing with facts :P. The Star Wars universe if massive, thus no matter what timeline you choose, you will have lots of options. I personally say pre-movies, but overall I don't really care .

Rosh Penin is a moron
Kyle Katarn is a rustic-style Jedi (ie, not comfortable with formalities, etc... much like Corran)
Jadan Korr is a cool female character, male character he doesn't sound evil enough if you go to dark side
