Ranger Archive

We should contact the GCLU (Galactic Civil Liberties Union) for rampant misuse of foraging skills.

I wouldn't worry about the devs giving all Rebels the ability to drop off the radar. Besides, we were told it would never happen, is there reason to believe it will? Until a Dev posts that they will do it, I wouldn't worry.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that in my post. I'm not concerned with stealth being implemented in the form or radar removal. As you said, the devs have said before that it would never happen. It's also been said before that it could introduce client side hacks, and was even mentioned in replies to the GCW corr's thread.

Mainly, it's the use of the word "stealth" and related to combat. (Rangers have long wanted stealth in some form, as a means to be more viable in the GCW. See Fred's stealth post).

Suggestions on this forum in the past have included the unlikely (giving the use of radar only to the Ranger profession, like EQ), to the possible (giving a negative "to hit" modifier while in stealth mode -- I think that may have come from Phenix's outdoorsman proposals iirc.).

Everyone has the penchant for asking for skills that other professions should have (Ranger Weapon, anyone?) or have asked for.

True And to be fair, I'm not suggesting stealth is "our" idea, as smugglers have suggested some form of stealth for a long time as well. Their main interest though, being stealth in cities or space, rather than for use in actual combat.

This not meant to sound as harsh as it does, I am just trying to stop the anger and hate that may come from this .

No problem, it didn't sound harsh at all. That's completely understandable though, as people tend to jump to conclusions before things are set in stone. The recent group harvest threads for example.

I think if Calc forgets me and Brisc one more time, I am gonna have to smack him about. Regardless of RL size, age and stealth will beat youth and enthusiasm.

Our forage is mostly harmless, but a Doctor with medical forage? I hear that can destroy a whole planet.

Jeesh, a guy destroys one planet and he hears about it for the rest of his life.

And rest assured that Owen and I will never allow that to happen .

By this, I meant that we would never allow this skill to go to such a broad specturm as to all Rebels. And by 'never allow this to happen,' I mean that we will try our hardest to prevent it, but in the end, the devs will do what they want.

Cry "Havoc!" And let slip the Trandos of war!

*wanders* mmm... beer. When do we get to place a beer on a HTFB table?

*snap back*

The first thing I thought of when I read the topic was a highly valuable skill in JTL. IFF scrample is available for Rebel pilots at Tactics1 and Freelance at Techniques3. I use this skill religiously in PvE piloting, but I have absolutely NO PvP experience in space yet, so I don't have a clue how it works there.
