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.
How could you all forget the Completely crappy LLC we had in the beginning? i ground out that whole branch and THEN they fixed the damn things lol.

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

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
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.

we're talking about a year before there were even jedi
same with commando Flamer, but then you where dead if there wasnt water nearby...
Meh just read the thread. The other old schoolers got it covered. Dont forget to delete3/4 of your missions the second you finally walk up to the mark though
