Although I have respec'd my alt doc to a ranger to support my crafter, If there is enough of a voice of approval from rangers out there and IF ranger applied buffs are only 10% better than non-ranger (like docs) then I would consider giving up ranger and taking up the services of dedicated Master Ranger.
As it is, I am puzzled by the lack of enthusiasm in the ranger forums. If this is implimented properly, i.e ranger applied buffs significantly more powerful and longer lasting than self applied ones then it will be very beneficial to dedicated crafters.
I forsee 2 uses:
For regular planets with short runs: Crafters see mobs around their harvesters, applies buffs and does his business.
Ranger applied buffs. Contact ranger through PM or sees in starport and both go to dangerous planet like Dathomir where ranger applies camo. More expensive but longer lasting and effective but it beats dying to creatures. It doesn't do anything against NPCs and that is why I had asked for level increases for crafters but this is better than nothing. PSGs may mitigate the damage too and you can always lead away the melee type of NPCs except the ones that do force damge (NS and such).
My only suggestion there is not to drop harvesters in their area.

yes, but the problem, is that even for a master ranger, camo is notorious for breaking. Maskscent works much better, and it is more effecient than a crafted camo pack.
For a crafter to get the full benefit of a ranger, he would need a ranger riding shot gun, re-applying camo everytime it breaks...and believe me, it breaks quite often. and most NPC's are not affected by the camo aswell.

Now crafters can too witness the sheer power of the camo kit. Just get ready to reapply them constantly as they break on that kreetle sniffing around your swoop.
BUAHAHA. Spoken like someone who's been there and has the tiny paper cuts on their heels to prove it.

I'm not paying 200 cpu. I've told every ranger to go find another AS. But there seems to be a significant number of them on the server wanting 200 cpu for good hide.
My point is, people complain about high armor prices but turn around and try to sell us the resources at ridiculous costs.Message Edited by CaileSathinor on 05-21-2005 07:37 PM
I would have to say that anyone selling wooly for 200cpu is a money grubber. Not a Ranger. We dont need much since we are fairly self sufficient. I sold 100k of wooly for 50cpu and walked away with 5 million. That lasted me for quite some time.
Rangers hunt and harvest cause we enjoy it. Making money on the side is a perk. If anyone ever said they were going Ranger to get rich quick they were crazy. If the good stuffs not in spawn you dont get paid. Simple as that.

LOL 200CPU?
You're kidding, you have to be?!?!?
I've been hesitant to pay 30CPU for hides. I just use my Bounty Hunter/Rifleman alt and go kill them. As a novice scout, even solo I can get about 20K pf hide hour just killing random spawns. If I find a group, it's more like 200K an hour.
