Ahhh I see! We need our resident Irish Bothan to make us a post-CU 3.0 version.
I'll get on this ASAP. Just had a buncha stuff come up lately.
Number one on the list is changing freaking camo though. If anyone can use regular camo packs, they should be a generic "camo" kit. Planet-specific ones should be reserved for Rangers (and impart the invisibility effect).
I'll try to work in some new ideas for traps as well. anything else you guys want me to add?
Ranger Hat. even if it's already in previous versions...

Ok, my parents are going on a cruise for a week. They are giving me $100. I don't work on weekends until school starts, and I have $500 in my savings account.
Is there any way I can attend Fanfest Anaheim?

"All right." She turned on her back and stared up at the featureless ceiling. "It's an old order, the Antarian Rangers. Founded centuries ago to aid Jedi Knights. A few of them, anyway; most of the Jedi tended to be pretty solitary. But some of them appreciated having loyal, reliable warriors to help them. Freedom's Sons were one such order, and the Rangers were another.
"To be a Ranger meant knowing how to move in any environment. To blend in with the forest or grassland, to sail, to swim, to dive, to pilot. To be masters of our surroundings. We were good spies, good warriors, very adept at intrusion and escape.
(The above from "X-Wing: Wraith Squadron." Bolded emphasis mine.)
I'd like something to let us finally fit the bill of a Star Wars Ranger. Not every Ranger is an Antarian, but the core of what a Ranger is expands past the AR. Rangers are warriors in Star Wars--not just glorified campers.
- Give us our own defenses, specials and some weapon skills.
- Make our traps worthwhile; no true Ranger would be tossing anything that didn't work.
We are still master outdoorsmen. Our camps should be worthwhile, too.
-I'll take gradually increasing creature repelling skills at the top of the list, from a 50% chance at Novice to 100% at Master.
- Second pick is a garage for the HTFB, with a launch pad where Master Squad Leaders can call a one-way shuttle third.
- A guildmate of mine remarked that the group bonus to terrain nav should belong to Ranger, not Squad Leader, so perhaps we could share that ability with them.
We are masters of stealth.
- We should be able to vanish from radar (and players). It's in the game now, so coding it for us shouldbe a breeze.
- A master-applied camo should not break as easily as a Novice Ranger camo.
- Mask scent strengthened.
I don't want us to be uber. In fact, that's the last thing I want. If that happens, every d00d who's bored with BH will become one, and it'd suck. But I would like to see us have some better strength as the combat class that we are, whether or not SOE recognizes us as such.
And don't forget the hat. (And please, not be a dorky looking one. I like the endor swoop helms from ROTJ myself...)

Perfect. 
By the way, I am elated that Sean will be there. Where has Nem0 been? He was there last year as I recall. The Devs would wet their proverbial panties if they thought JB or myself would be in attendance.
By the way.....
I think that would be a great time to mention the upcoming 2 year anniversary of the "Holocron Document".
The infamous document in which he stated that many new and unique things were "already in the works" for the Ranger community. Please see my thread entitled "Holocron thread locked".

Nope, I never made Fan Fest. I think Delta went, though.
As for where I've been, I'm sort of lurking due to a lack of time. I still try to read what I can but I no longer get the time to read everything posted (although maybe I'll catch up on that soon).

It would also be nice to have a re-write of the ranger list by galaxy because I'm sure a number of those people have left the game, or forgotten their Ranger skills. At this point I would estimate there are more Image Designers in the game than MasterRangers.

This list is not for active rangers in the galaxy but more of a list of all the people that have tried their hand at being a ranger. The Ranger for hire thread might need to be updated and I've been thinking of ways to make it more current but am open to suggestions for it.
