faction authorities

[tfmachad]

leaves the problem, no playerfaction ever asks for the BHGs assistance - or it happens very rarely only. or am i mistaken there? - the BHG factions are on a fictional long term contract - otherwise its just random and occasional pirate shooting left.
...

Well, that's not entirely truth. Taking a closer look at what the ID states:

fulfil bounty contracts, escort traders, hunt pirates and terrorists, participate in military operations on lawful side.

fulfil bounty contracts: There are quite a few traders lusting for revenge against pirates and sometimes they pay big time for a proof of the pirate's demise.

escort traders: I see a lot of that happening.

hunt pirates and terrorists: Same as fulfilling bounty contracts, this part actually opens a rare precedent, you can, like you said, randomly pick your favorite pirate and just blast him for being ugly.

participate in military operations on lawful side: That does happen from time to time.

Funny thing is: Mercenaries are pretty much like bounty hunters, only they won't make any immediate compromise with the lawful side (maybe they won't make it at all). But I do see much more mercenaries performing the said activities. I see mercs escorting traders, fulfilling lawful bounties, hunting pirates and terrorists and even participating in military operations on the lawful side. I have a mercenary character and I did all of the above myself.

Funny too, it was actually you who said it, Jinx. Mercenaries rely on their reputation. I think it applies to bounty hunters just the same. Maybe, after you build up your BH's reputation you'll get more stuff to do. If that doesn't work, you can confort yourself with this:

Mercenary (Bounty Hunter?)
