My idea is to make an Elite Profession For the Surveyor's.

Im not sure if anyone has made a post about this subject yet if so let me know.

Anyhow, Maybe the profession could focus on certain aspecs of mining resources

Master

Idea to brainstorm ideas for and Elite Profession for Surveyors,

If there has already been a post about this let me know please..

I would like a profession that allows characters to focus on certain aspects of mining.

Possibly allow to have a greater range and efficiency on the different survey tools.

Get skill bonuses for the harvesters or attachments that enhance the rate of extraction.

Master Surveyor

(Mineral Specialist) (Chem-Gas Specialist) (Organic-Water Specialist) (Energy Specialist)

Novice Surveyor

Thats my idea of the bottom of the tree and the top of the tree what do you guys think could come of something like this. Good idea ? Bad idea?

Maybe the master survey can get a very large range on the tools, or get a readout on how long the resources will be up. Give me feedback...

Once upon a time there was a Miner profession... they took it out of the game in Beta because they thought it would be boring. I screamed bloody murder about it (really, could it possibly be as boring as, say, Image Designer?) but we're stuck with what we have now. I really wish it would reappear, but I'm not holding my breath.

The devs stated a few months ago that they would like to see it back in the game. It just needed to be reworked and it wasn't a high priority right now. I would love to see it too. I'd jump right on that profession.

I tell people that I'm a prospector. It would be nice to have some special stats for doing surveying/prospecting.

Here is an excellent site for brainstorming professions and game features. It is not an official site and is 100% player run.

Yeah, that'd be a hoot!

I would love it...but I think the problem is: not enough things to do.

I suppose you could have an increased sample rate...but not many people sample manually anymore. The best thing I could think of would be a little overlay on the world map, showing you hot spots of resources in the nearby area. You fly to a city, pull up the map, and it shows you the local maxes within the nearest 2km or so.

Master Surveyor could show you the entire world map, and all resources therein. Land on a planet and instantly determine the resources, their stats, and the best concentrations.

Maybe allow you to mine in water, or on slopes too. /shrug

It would be cool, but I don't know if there's enough for an elite profession.

Maybe they could give out a few more lots for Master Surveyor.

Been there, done that. It was called the Miner, and it was axed in Beta because it was boring.
