Thread: the problem with tactics in SWG.
I've used trees, rocks and creature lairs alot for cover and to block line of sight for single pulling npcs, it seems to work fine with most objects for me. The terrain itself however doesnt offer any kind of cover so sometimes they'll end up shooting from under a rock or a lair (through a hill or something). But other than that I've not had any problems apart from the random weirdness that happens occasionally.
That's actually one of the most useful ways of singling out npcs and I relied on it alot doing missions, just hide behind a tree so that a npc doesnt see me, positioned so that asecond one gets left behind a lair so it doesnt see me either, while I have line of sight to a third one standing right next to them, and I can shoot at it without aggroing the others.

Well, at least it seems like its not the same for all people. Some do get cover some don't. I'll check more in-depth tonight, maybe they have updated the LOS rules since I tried it last. If they have thats cool.
