That's not what I'd call a bounty hunt. First priority is likely exploration, then securing a base. Whatever, the point of being a pioneer is to be a versatile character including engineer, negotiator, explorer, leader, law enforcement etc.
I'm not sure if you saw my links, but bounty hunters are usually used for law enforcement these days. It's not in a primary role, like a cop would be, but they are upholding the law. I do agree with you in that I don't think that's where the ME team plans to take ME:A PC and in the other games that I suspect will be a part of a new trilogy.
At this point, I'm treating this thread as a squad member request idea.
