And as for swiping BH content, your not really. Think about it, you have to track down a player, without droids or without knowing where they are or whether they are online. It would be very difficult. Plus, the SPs to get to that level are quite a bit. Think about a Ranger/BH or a ranger and a group of BH. They can hunt someone then pick another target. The Ranger is really the unconvential warfare guy they hire to help out. He can fight, hard, apply states, pop camps for healing (and getting new missions) and can sneak about doing a bit of pathfinding.

Think, though: when riflemen and jedi got the radar invis we were told wasn't gonna happen, many of us were irate. That was OUR area of expertise. When the masses got camo, many of us were irate. That was OUR area of expertise.


I have no desire to hear the howls of rage from the BH community that would inevitably happen as a result of us getting access to npc and player bounties. If I wanted to hunt people, I'd be a BH. (Which I am.) There are plenty of other directions we can go in as Rangers. I do want more, a whole hell of a lot more, but not cut-and-pasted BH content.

If it was a person not available on the BH terms would that make you feel better. Maybe just a high level NPC boss type mark. That wouldnt steal anything from BHs. Plus it is the direction in which hunting goes. Small easy stuff to very deadly stuff.

Plus its 100 times harder to complete a Ranger player hunter mission as I state above, than a player bounty mission. Its not stealing content, in fact on completion of the ranger contract the dead player will still be a BH target. Its similar content as we fill similar roles not the same content as we are not the same. Its just Jedi at teh moment that can be hunted, but it would set us up for a future of player hunting (PvP) if it every arrives.

Nicely done and well thought out. I didn't like the idea of ZBows untill I read your description. As long as they were ultra sci-fi'ish I would be ok with them. The ranger terminal should be removed from the idea. Every profession wants their own terminal. Well for us we do... standard terminals have tons and tons of hunting quests... I really like what you came up with but I personally would rather see more military aspects for ranger than the dungeon and dragons kind of ranger you have here.

All in all i think it is a very good idea. However, like most, I am not too crazy about the whole player hunting, It just opens up for too many headaches in my opinion. Other than that, a solid idea that sounds like fun.
