- Proposal
- + Separate the Bounty Hunter Terminal into two tabs, similar to how Mission Terminals have two tabs for Destroy and Deliver. The first tab should be PVP oriented, as bounty hunters seeking PVP tend to stare at the terminal for much longer than those simply farming ED PVE missions.
+ Removing duplicate bounties of the same target. The fewer bounties that are on the page, the faster the information can be gleaned by a prospective hunter. Note, this is not saying that only one Hunter may take a mission at a time.
+ Display the number of Hunters currently with that mission in their datapad. This is to gauge whether or not you will have potential help (such as the case of a Jedi) or can respect the 1v1 in the case of a normal target (if you so desire).
+ This one is a big maybe, but hooking up the current live feed of the Bounty Hunter Terminals to an API will allow third party websites to display the information in real time. This will enable hunters to not have to babysit the terminal while buffs are ticking down. This API should not provide any additional information that the terminal cannot provide on their own.
- Justification
- These changes will allow Bounty Hunters to immediately receive useful information with less mouse clicks, as well as to clean up the primitive interface from the original game.
- Motivation
- I use these terminals all the time and they are a big headache for the bounty hunter community.
One of the biggest gripes that Bounty Hunters tend to have is about the Bounty Hunter Terminal itself. Anybody that has used it can attest to the interface generally being an unhelpful mess filled with PVE bounties and multiple stacking bounties of the same target. Often it takes many refreshes in order to select a bounty your other hunters in the group are trying to acquire.
