About more money in the economy it all evens out. Weather people have 100k or 100 million just means that what people sell is cheaper and that is it. I would say atleast over1/2 to 2/3 of the servers have more then 5-10 million. Atleast 1/4 have over 30 million. This is becasue the devs gave us nothing to really buy. yes we all made killingson missions from dath,endor,dant. The ownlly way for them to fix the money in the game is to cut off all money for 6 months to get the major people with money out or take it away. But by the devs own words they will take fun over anything eles. So just make missions 5k and not 40k. So yes a ranger can get 6-10 missions at one time at 5k a mission that still is 50k over all 10 missions. That is for high ones that we would be able to get 4 so that would be 20k. See fast change to the money in the game.

Well not looking at it for money or for harvesting just would be nice if we were out to hunt for just onething for fun. I know i go to endor and like to kill the little bear people lol. To cut down on the on the spawns in one area make them for 3-5k away. This would cut down on the other hunters that are doing missions for money. Also make the missions so they dont cost as much but would be usefull for harvesting even if we get a bigger harvest and can find them with out terminals. Still would be nice to log in at yavin endor dath and beable to get missions right off the bat and not have to run out 4-5k just to start hunting. U know what i mean?

only problem is that speeders can go over water too....
perhaps a change in speeders where speeders decay faster over water (water in the intake valves?) (salt water rusting the fusion core?) so that they'd explode halfway there. That'd be cool.
Rangers say "I'll ferry you gentlemen out there...but for a price.
BH hops on speederbike: "Screw you, hippie!" and drives off towards the island.
Ranger sighs and puts boat in gear, following the BH. Halfway to the island, the Ranger sees an explosion. He goes over and sees the BH treading water and watching hisnow defunct speedersinking to the bottom of the ocean. "Good day for a swim," the Ranger says as he kicks the throttle up and sprays the BH with water.

Hate to necro-post Owen, but I'm up late re-writing the Outdoorsman Proposal. Essentially, i've been taking your ideas on this subject and using them almost verbatim. I added a request for a second melee weapon at Master Ranger, and I figured out a way to ensure that the bow and it's specials would be almost useless in PvP/ and versus NPC's.
These weapons would cause a new type of damage classified as "Piercing Damage" (no innuendo's intended, it's just because it works for both arrows and daggers). This would be a damage type that most creatures have no resistances to, and at most a high level mob would have 30% resist. However, Composite, Ubese and high-level armors would be 100% resistant to it. Even lower level armors like Chitin would have 75% base protection against this type of damage. This would ensure that any player with even 2000 creds could buy armor to protect from our bows, and NPC's that wore any armor (which many do now) would also be safe.
This means that only the idiotic NPC's who try to fight you in their T-shirts and short pants would get hurt by our bows and daggers and that players would be safe.
oh, and I moved the requirements for the first bow and dagger to novice Ranger, though I kept the specials where they were. That way, a Novice Ranger really feelsthat theyhave earned a right of passage when theybuy theirfirst bow, like a Rifleman who buys their first T-21.
GAH!!! I changed something else as well: I made /huntersDawn attack not do blind (as we already have traps to accomplish this) but instead, I wrote it so that the Ranger adds an incendiary material to the tip of the arrow which ignites upon contact with the creature. This would cause massive damage AND the potential for small amounts of Fire damage. I'm also making sure that we add that the Ranger would have to get arrows from a WS to load up in the Bow. (I was thinking stacks of 100 could be put in at one time. (like a fishing pole, it would have one slot, and couldn't be used without something in this slot)
Oh, and if you like/dislike any of these changes let me know either on this board or in forum mail. That goes for everyone, not just owen.

nice stuff.
Did we decide to go for ranger bows? I knew we fleshed alot out and put lots of work into it but some people brought up the idea the rangers would cease to be the diverce profession we are.
I personally would love a set of ranged and melee weapons like you said but id be welcome to hear what others have to say also. The idea was also thrown around the a simple modifyer is added to the weapons that the ranger chooses to use such as for example my Bezerker would do double damage on a /headshot3 at master ranger. 5% up for each of the hunting boxes with another 80% for master.
Theres lots of stuff we can do with ranger offensives and i cant seem to decide on one single idea myself. Its been troubling me fora while now, is it health to ranger to have rifles,carb,tk,swords etc all as a rangers primary weapons set? It think it is. But does a ranger weapons set bring uniqueness and raw hunting power to ranger? Id have to say yes to that so im kind of stuck hehe.
Great work mate, keep it up, cant wait to see the end result.

in the end,I went with Ranger weapons, including a bow and dagger at Novice Ranger (no special attacks though) and adding the more advanced types of bow and dagger at Master Ranger
There are many things to consider, but in the end I feel that nobody got to the point of being a Ranger without killing a lot of creatures. Sure, i suppose you could group and just harvest...but that's not as much fun as taking it down yourself. I see this combat experience against creatures as the reasonign behind getting the weapons.
Plus, it's unique and since they do basically no damage to NPC's and PC's due to the new type of damage, i don't see it as stepping on toes, I see it as giving us versatility.
