My question is...
How many of you are CH or some combat class, and are strong enough to completely destroy a lair of wild tamable spawns? Honestly, my connection is down here, but I've taken to actively destroying any lair I see that is spawning mountable babies. Not trying to be a warmonger or spite anyone here, but how many of you do this/would do this if you had the combat class?

I have pistol skills and I now have enough creature handler skills to control a full grown reptilian flier. I can take out a lair solo (that's not really true by the way. I sample some of the critters and my flier, Purdy, kills the rest).

Would I activily hunt mount lairs with the intent to kill the babies? Probably not. Reason being, its pointless. That's like trying to empty the ocean with a bucket.

I came across a lair of plains bols the other night running to my new city, Sintari (on Dantooine). There was a baby. I thought about just killing it. Then I tamed it. Okay, so I'm evil. Then I killed the adults, plinked the lair, got another baby, and destroyed the lair.

After that, the mayor of my city, who just happens to have gotten through Empathy and to Master Creature Handler last night, broke to saddle the 1.2k HAM spat I made for myself. (Egad! It's huge!) I hadn't really ridden before I took it back to the Mining Outpost to catch a ship back to my lab. I must say...I'm not impressed. I can run about as fast with Exploration 4, and I can Mask Scent and fight if I need to without going through contortions. Maybe if I had no Scouting skills, there might be a point to having a mount. /shrug

Master CH/Master Bio/ some medic and marksman- have been owning lairs since i became CH.. even with the latest nerf. Still no problems on any of them. Not sure why you are asking tho.. anyone who has CH full ch or currently with the first 2 trees.

Blastinglairs of mounts/babies just to effect the market is a drop in the ocean so I'd not bother making a special effort from it.

Well, it might work as a stress reliever, until you realize that no matter how many of the things you kill more will just respawn. You would have to devote yourself to it full time everyday just to make a dent within a small area. I know that things respawn within a certain class and once one thing is killed it is randomly replaced with something else in that class, so if you focused on only one type of lair over and over you could reduce the overall numbers. On the other hand...my husband said he found a mission for lesser dewbacks on the terminal. I cursed and swore once again. It's a lost cause.
