I was watching Buffy last night and the initiative puuls out a pheromone/protein/whatever tracking tool. The idea is that it will tell you when you getting close to the animal that emits that pheromone/protein/whatever. I think it would be a really nice add if the scouting line had the ability to use a fauna survey tool which would let them know when you are close to a probably spawning point. This is different that the Ranger tracking ability because it will locate specific animals in your area. This is less of a specific animal than a hint as to the chances of a given animal spawning in the area your in. If the chances are low you keep going, if the chances are high you being circling. I would guess that either Artisan or BE would be able to make them. It certainly seems like something that would be useful for BE's when they are trying to track down DNA samples.

It doesn't matter if you only scan for specific animals, one way or another you'd eventually be able to gather the same amount of data that a Ranger can even though its slower. While it would be handy for me to no longer need the Ranger skills I have to say it's a very powerful tool which should require significant investment to have. Rangers are already limited in what their purposes are so don't take one of the most useful skills they have away from them.
