Honestly, if I was to push for any of the things I posted, it would be the mission terminal. Granted, these are more convenience things than anything else.

I imagine it would depend on how it was implemented. If it gave mission right out in your backyard I would agree, but seeing as most missions are generated at 400+ meters (not including the ttransmission change) I don't think it would much matter. Granted, I suppose it brings up some issues with misuse but for the most part it would make getting the missions quicker, but not necessarily completing them. I'm refering to the standard Mission terminals, as I don't think the Explorer ones are worth the time or effort for the payouts.

That's the problem. As it stands now,a person fully buffed can complete 40k mission on Dath solo. But the issue is that they often spawn 1k+ from the outpost. If you could just pop a camp, you wouldn't need to go back to the OP, meaning you get more missions per hour.


Or consider the village--if you allow HTFB to spawn missions, people will have Rangers setting up camps close to the village so they can grind XP faster to get through the next box. If you allow them to give payoffs, the economy is even more whacked, since people will be able to do twice as many per hour, since they do half the traveling.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

Combat Balance/Revamp is next on the schedule. It is somewhat debatable what Ranger will get out of it.
