Bounties for freelance bounty hunters as well!

Just my 2 cents. :CSly

Why would the Cartel cater to non-Cartel members?

 

[The Kyzer]

Why would the Cartel cater to non-Cartel members?

Freelancers are SO last year. HC-sponsored Bounty Hunters are the "it"-thing now.

 

[Livgardist]

Why would the Cartel cater to non-Cartel members?

...because they need the good karma?

Also because it'll open a bit more roleplaying opportunity for indie bounty hunters.

 

[Cassanova]

So why don't the Indie bounty hunters join the cartel?

 

[Livgardist]

Would Boba Fett join such an organization? ;)

 

[Nor'baal]

No Bounty Hunter on this site can even compare to Boba......so I imagine they would have a great deal to gain from joining! :CScool

 

[Livgardist]

But you see what I mean.

Bounty hunters and mercenaries by their very nature often like to remain free, unbound by organizational ties, and the like. That's why they're called freelancers.


But they still mostly work for organizations like the Hutt Cartel.

Perhaps we could do a captain request thread (similar to the Jedi request thread) where we state why our character would need to met a captain for, which captain(s), and where. And perhaps we could do a mission involving some kind of border dispute.

I second that.

Hmm that is an interesting idea. Although, why would we need a specific thread, if your character could just link up with another character to meet them and speak with them?

 

[Dóiteán]

Perhaps we could do some missions involving a canon opponent of the cartel, Exchange. It might add some interesting opportunities and opposition.

 

[Livgardist]

I like this idea. Alot. :D

 

[Dóiteán]

Here's an example, sort of, of a mission:

Mission Name: Exchange Fire
Location: City- Tatooine
Details: With Nor'baal the Hutt's influence gone on Tatooine, the criminal organization Exchange, has started trying to take over. The cartel wants to send in a group of agents to secure our hold. We do not know the circumstances so fight carefully. Hold out long enough for a second group to land.
Participants: 1-3 Cartel Agents, 1 NPC(optional)
Additional Notes:
The Exchange have been an enemy of the cartel's since the Sith Emperor Palpatine. How strong they are is currently unknown.

 

[Livgardist]

We should add that they work in the shadows and is almost never heard of or seen, give them more of a mysterious aura.

Because mysterious enemies are more fun. :D

 

[Just Matt Now]

Sorry I forgot to mention. This is a good idea, and we are currently bringing up the Exchange in some story arcs that we are planning.

 

[Dóiteán]

Arg beat by the leaders again lol

 

[Trebantes]

Mission idea. (Purely influenced by one of my characters' biographies.)

Mission: Bomb run.
Location: Ord Mantel
Details: Head into the Separatist Base, get the unstable explosive and run to your ship. As the explosive is unstable, two to three blaster shots can cause it to explode and hit anyone in a 20 meter radius. Individuals caught in the explosion may end up walking without a few limbs or dead.
Participants: 3-6 Cartel Agents, 8 Separatists (NPCer), 1 explosive bomb (NPCer)
Additional Notes: The NPCer for the explosive bomb only monitors its endurance to any blaster fire that may hit, normally the NPCer would make an explicit warning for the party that the explosive is about to blow. A freighter is best for this mission and it is suggested that the Cartel Agents to arrive on the same freighter and leave Ord Mantel on the same freighter.

Pm all mission ideas to Gaja or Matt for approval.

Yeah the Exchange suggestion is pretty solid, I myself am a fan of the Exchange so that's something that we're discussing right now. Stay tuned for more, but certainly a very good suggestion.
