Don't forget that back then mastering scout required hanging out in camps. Camp crafting did not count toward survival exp and survival exp wasn't interchangeable with scout exp.


You really can't replicate the challenges we faced back then. The marks were different in their power, although trying to fight an elite mark without armor might come close to the early 10k HAM, light armor, 80% resist marks who would one shot you with overcharge shot or some wild rifle special.


Back then you either waited patiently for your mark to close in on a starport or you trudged out to intercept him in the wilds (no choice but to go after him on Lok and Endor). Mask scent was used a lot because everything would still aggro you. There is no way to replicate that now.


However, working without using JTL, player city shuttles, vehicles, or creature mounts will give you a feel for how to track a target that is moving at 180 meters/minute.


I suspect after you try a few of these you might feel like you've experienced enough and whip out the starship and the swoop.

Someone pull up an old Wepps post lol, he had some tactics. Escapeing with your life is considered a victory etc. I miss those Wepps posts, unleash your anger.

Before LLC resources were available you had to grind Heavy weapons with a reb theme park launcher pistol or factional rocket launchers. o.0


Seems like the xp you get for novice marks now is much higher (i.e., more than 2x) what you used to get back then.

If you are looking for a challenge to grind BH, try grinding it near the way it was when the game was released.


Master Scout/Marksman


Do not use speeders (you gotta run every where)


Do not use JTL (gotta use the shuttles)


Add 10 minutes to you waiting time at the shuttle (shuttles actually had a 10 minute wait at one time)


No buffs allowed


No comp armor, bh armor, or any armor with the new smuggler loots added (we were very limited on armor)


None of the new looted weapons





i did this. it was crazy running to catch a mark before it got to a spaceport - they seemed to have superhuman running abilities.

UGH don't remind me, don't forget about BH droids not working on Jedi and many wp 0,0 missions that didn't spawn when you arrived there. I learned a trick to getting those pesky marks out of trees and rocks by dropping a camp near it and it usually worked. BH today is a breeze, nothing compared to the old days.

That would be great, take away all of BH's defense, pistoleer/BH pre-cu had about 20 melee def/40 ranged. That would make it more fun, or at least interesting to see.

In the old days, MLS jedi had 85% saber block. Fighting them as a ranged BH was NOT fun.
Lightsaber had it's own damage type, so it was pointless to wear armor when fighting a jedi.
LS Resist PSGs were your best friend; stacking foods actually worked then.
