Ranger Archive

I will be going Smuggler / Ranger, and maybe use any left over for Pistoleer.

Just do what I was doing, download the character calculator from bloodfin.org if you haven't got it already and then instead of using Scout/Ranger to do your calculations, use something completely divorced from it to do the calculations, like say Entertainer/Musician and just mentally substitute Ranger for Musician. That way the calculations work out mathematically at least (just don't use Image Designer)

I too am working on FS for the alt, and was going to be forced to either drop Ranger or go CH/Ranger. The extra points are the most welcome change, even if it does feel like the core of "rangerdom" to me is being subsumed into Scout...

About that bloodfin calc. I was just playing around with it and there is a button near the #skill points left/total 250 called overload. Which lets you go over 250. So you could still take Master Ranger and whatever other skill til you get -34sp. Might be easier if you wanted to calc that way, if you want to get some CH,SL or BE. My toon is MBE,MCH Ranger 0030 and thought that was easier.

i think I can get Master Ranger/Master Bounty Hunter + Combat Medic 4000. This will be a good combo for role-playing a Cop. I already have the Ranger/BH combo, and I roleplay a bit by taking only "Bismari Poacher" boss marks. I tell myself I'm protecting the environment. Now, I can really RP a retired SpecForces cop, who's flown for the RSF and the Cor-Sec.

Hmm,sounds nice. It's always nice to see someone take RP into account when planning their character.

I've always tried to modelmy main (only one account but I do play "alts" on other galaxies) on an old SW PnP character of the same name. He was an interplanetary scout, with both outdoors and technical skills. I wasn't really going for Master Ranger with him (I admit I only have noivce and the tracking line), the rest would be Master Carbineer, some extra lines in Marksman, and some Medic. I will have to see how the new skills are distributed, but I might actually go heavier into Ranger as a result.With the generalattack and defense mods, I can drop some of the Marksman.

MRifleman/MScout/MRanger

Well right now I have mscout, mranger, mpistoleer (for the recon armor cert) so that way I could wear my scout trooper armor and really get to feel like an imperial ranger but since it looks like recon armor for ranger nowI will probably switch that to some battle type... maybe CH since Ive been interested in trying that since the system overhaul.

Right now I am TKM/MRanger. I expect that I will run, not walk to the nearest Medic trainer and get some healing skills. It will make a massive difference in my survivability to have *any* melee skills I expect.

I may end up dropping (paramilitary) Ranger though and just sticking with some Scout skills and something like TKM/Master Doctor. Sneaking about and stealing might be fun if odd, but I really enjoy Ranger more for the outdoors side of things and I am not sure that the military side will be of that much interest.
