Droid speeds are reversed so the higher up you go the slower they go... I still do missions although seekers at Master take 7 minutes to report and using track and find a minute to 2 minutes between updates.

The devs have known about this bug since the first month after the games release.

http://soe.lithium.com/swg/board/message?board.id=bounty_hunter&message.id=126666&query.id=94827#M126666

All MBH's should be very unhappy if they do.

Right now I know several 3-0-0-0 bh's who use non bh skills to kill their marks... Speed wise they have an advantage over a MBH.

The fact is accuracy on droids works as intended.

Lousy at investigaion 1 , poor at 2 , good at 3 , great at 4 and Best at MBH.

Speeds however are broken and are worse at MBH then at investigation 1... One minute vs Seven Minutes.

If fixed 3 shouldn't see any difference in speed but Find and track right now takes only 30 seconds to update... At MBH it takes 2 minutes to update using find and track and 7 minutes for the first update.

Now if they fix our droids to track PC's and also fix droid speeds MBH will have a distinct advantage in tracking a PC and well they should.

I can't imagine anyone not agreeing that a MBH should have an advantage in tracking a Jedi , put please tell me why we shouldn't , we are all ears.

SOE should do the right thing and fix the seeker speeds at or before they fix tracking PC's... MBH has earned the right to track PC's faster then someone at 3-0-0-0.

Speedwise was in reference to faster seekers at level 3 investigation then at MBH. The concern I have is that players who use only the investigation line in order to hunt Jedi will have an advantage over those of us who are MBH.... MBH 7 minute seekers and 2 minute updates VS Investigation 3, 3 minute seekers with 30 second updates.

So here's the scenario. Gained investigations I. Grinded for 3 days on BH exp before I ran out of cash because I was paying into the missions more than they were paying out. So I gave in, I'm only slightly ashamed to admit. I surrendered Investigations I and went back to doing novice missions until the cap at 10K BH exp. Actually, I was looking forward to doing droid missions after all that. I shouldn't have had my hopes up, but I was greatly disappointed. After training up to investigations II, I was suprised to see the mission payouts and exp from the kill was exactly the same as investigations I. The biggest suprise was even though I gained +40 droid tracking speed (up to +50), droids now take almost 1 minute to track the target, where they took only around 15 seconds at investigations I.

http://soe.lithium.com/swg/board/message?board.id=bounty_hunter&message.id=50857&query.id=95417#M50857

When I had Invest II trained, it would take 3 minutes for my droids to acquire the location of my target. Now that I have Invest III trained, it takes over 4 1/2 minutes to do the same job. And this is with the +30 Droid Speed and +40 Droid Tracking Speed mods I got when I trained Invest III.

yah working on inves 4 it takes about4-5 mins.....i think the droid speed mods are bugged and working in reverse, hence hindering our time instead of increasing however the droid tracking ability tracks them at a decent time...oh well..it will be fixed in a a few months

At this point the mark made a 180 turn and starts heading south deeper into the Lokian wilderness. I give chase. 5kms out I get eaten by a kimagila and get cloned at the Imp base. A series of seeker failures leave me out of seekers.

I run out of the base and call a probe. It lands in the base wall and can't be reached. Mission aborted.

Bingo...my mark is in range and to the north. Go north 100m and there he is 128m to my north...nice...we SO need this ability in Investigation.

Engaged mark using buildings as cover...just as hes about to die he throws himself at a wall, becomes stuck, I lose target on him and have to re-aquire. Hes now stuck in a wall and I can't begin attacking again. After 5 mins...he goes white. I then swear continuously for 20 mins without repeating myself once.
