== Analysis of Mission Details ==
 
 
 
 
There are a number of important bits of information to know about a mission which are viewable through the mission details on the mission terminal or on the mission itself in the player's datapad.
 
 
The parts of a Bounty Hunter mission details are:
 
 
* Target
 
* Location
 
* Creator
 
* Reward
 
* Difficulty
 
 
 
'''Target'''
 
 
 
This is the npc or player that needs to be killed in order for the  player to obtain their reward.
 
 
 
 
 
 
'''Location'''
 
 
Bounty missions do not display locations.
 
 
 
 
'''Creator'''
 
 
The name of the mission creator.
 
 
 
'''Reward'''
 
 
This is the payout to the player in credits for successfully completing the mission. Mission payout reward formula is currently unknown.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty'''
 
 
Challenge rating of the mission depends on the player and their pet's combined challenge levels. Other players and pets in the group do not affect the difficulty level of a bounty hunter mission. The bounty hunter's bounty mission difficulty affects the floor or base min and maxium credit rewards for missions but Difficulty level in bounty missions increases the minimum payout amount offered.
 
 
 
 
 
See [[Combat Difficulty Rating (Game Mechanics)|Challenge Levels]] for more information about difficulty level calculations.
 
 
== Bounty Mission STF Analysis ==
 
 
 
 
'''m10d'''
 
 
A bounty is hereby issued on a former chemist employed by Cassandran Distilleries. Target is believed lightly armed and low-threat. The client requests this message be given to the target before termination: "Hope you enjoyed your last Cassandran Sunrise."
 
 
'''m10o'''
 
 
Bounty Hunters' Guild
 
 
'''m10s'''
 
 
Client sends congratulations and this message: "Enjoy a drink on us."
 
 
'''m10t'''
 
 
Alcohol Chemist
 
 
'''m10v'''
 
 
I never thought they'd kill me for stealing just one little distillation process!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes:
 
 
 
'''m10d -'''
 
 
This is the mission description displayed in mission terminals or on the mission if a player examines the mission. This is also given as npc dialogue when a player receives the mission from a mission giving npc.
 
 
 
'''m10o'''
 
 
Mission Creator
 
 
 
'''m10s -'''
 
 
Response given by a mission giving npc once the player finished that particular assignment and came back to it for another mission. (Not used in game since there is no evidence so far that npcs gave bh missions)
 
 
 
'''m10t -'''
 
 
This is the mission title as seen on the terminal or on the mission details once the mission has been accepted by the player.
 
 
 
 
'''m10v'''
 
 
This is presumably the message that the mark gives upon being attacked.
