maybe not the place for this BUT: bareback riding. somewhere up near the top of the CH tree, add bareback riding. that way a lot of animals that were previously unsuited for mounts or just didnt have the saddles adapted for them could be ridable to CH's only. we could ride bareback on klikniks, malcloks, tuckcats, awhole host of things. not everything naturaly, but lots of new mounts with very little work done by the devs.

I fully agree. I have suggested these things also. weapons on animals, armor, their own shield generators.The are all found in the SW movies, books andillustrated novels,plus I have and would suggest here again DE made cybernetics where we gain more control and mastery and special commands for combat and high level hunts. I am excitted that you are giving these ideas again. FIVE STARS!!!!!


Also if you happen to bea Ranger/CH the added commands and control of an animal to "stalk" which would work with the Rangers "area tracking" skills with having DE's we could get cybernetic implants and means to see what our creature is for example "seeing" at distances from us. You could say send the animal out for recon of enemies or of creatures that you are hunting. They could get like 500 or possibly up to 1000 m out from us and these devices would allow us to control them by thought or verbally, whichever doesn't matter.This could be seen from the air with flier pets for greater range of visibily which would give fliers for the first time a real reason to have as pets. They are usually just to weak to be of much good other than looks, which they often look cool. I think having a new large reptilian flyer on Dath that is large enough and strong enough to be a mount. This actually is the case on the books that deal with Dathomir. The different Sister clans in the books all have riders who fly some of these beasties.


BH/CH's could use the creatures to track their targets once they have a bounty on them. The enterplay of pets with someof your other professions could greatly expand and add more people who will love this great profession.


These would all stay within ideas that are natural to using creatures in the RL and most of them are found easily in SW stories. So I hope the Devs will take notice of your ideas.


The new expansion has implants coming so this could greatly be used by all in all professions.

I would like to see us be able to place poisons, acids, diseases that are harvested by rangers and sold to us be applicable to our creatures talons, claws, teath, etc. So we can have DOT effects on any of our creatures. Of course it would wear off so it would be limited attacks and vary in strength depending on the animal the Ranger got them from. Just a thought.

Again I say this. lets have the devs post on this one. a CH is a special type who forms a bond with their pets. they are not pets but compaions and therefor should be protected. if it is in the SW universe then why not in SWG? I would like to be able to protect my pets. but as a trade off so you dont see armored rancs with cannons make it so some animals cant be controled enough to wear the armor or will refuse and some cant use wepond. i love the dot idea but our pets already can have dot as a part of them. i dont like the idea that a BE has to give them the special attack but i dont think a CH should be able to just give any attack either. if you have ever played everquest then you can understand this. i think as the CH gets better new comnads should be open to them and like with the ligiment extensoin and other new mini buffs you should be able to find new comands with limited number of uses. then you can change your comands befor the fight t osuit the fight ahead. some fights a poison would be better some fights a dizzy would be better. and i think creatures should have a EXP bar all their own and grow in strength. there would be a max lvl per species of corse with that max lowerable by a BE. the BE pets will of course be stronger and have better resistances then wild pets. Ch pets should grow stronger, faster, and all around better as they lvl and should lvl slow. just like we do. getting a little exp per kill they help with. after a few weeks or monthes you creature may be at it's highest lvl. and the creature would have it's own window with comands or mabey a third bar on the normal hot keys ONLY for pet comands and a special window for the pet's health and exp. the pet would be like another player but with all these improvements there will have to be a downside. here it is. PETS CAN DIE!!. the pet dies and you have a limited amount of time(say a week or so) to find a BE and get it cloned. you would keep the control devise till then and that is the only way to get that pet back. it would encourage us to train our pets and not just pull them out, let them get nuked, and forget about them. of course that means helping your pet kill some REALY weak stuff that you wont get much if any exp for but that pet will get enough exp that it will grow. one box in the skill tree says the CH can talk to the pets. well he can tell the pet to go out, recon, and report back. at this point the pet could walk off of you could control the pet. sneak out take a look and come back or get a look at what the pet saw.every time i can get a pet i want to be able to have that pet grow with me. if i chose the right pet and take care of it i will never need anothr pet. i will go out and do things with my pet and we will be basicly even matched. but i dont mean that i want a pet to be the same lvl as me. i just want to be able to work with my pet and have it grow as it would. it would mean a pet upgrade(please dont call it a P.U.) and a few extra hours of server maintenance but it would be worth the change. and people wouldnt be just sacraficing their pets. those pets would mean somthing to them. sorry for the long post but if you agree with me then please add on and also let me know.
