This idea of the day is inspired by the thread: "The Ultimate Spawn!!"
Herd mission terminals:
A new mission terminal could be Herd Mission Terminal. Herd missions would give a mission for low-mid ammounts of money (1k-10k) It would give you a WP about 1k-4k away. It would spawn between 30 and 50 creatures. In herd missions allof the herd should assist herd members. This would be a great way for groups to have fun and hunt together. Since it has low paying missions there would be less reason to Solo group them. The main reason for this would be fun for groups and Rangers.
The herd terminals should give out many different types of herds. They should spawn about 1/3 to 1/2 as many babies as the spawn number. These babies should be in addition to the regular spawns as opposed to part of it. Therefor if it is a 30 Dewback spawn there should be 30 Dewbacks and 10-15 baby dewbacks.
So what do you all think of this idea of the day? Help out and give suggestions. This idea is importent and would be REALLY fun to have.

And it would be good because ??
Low xp, low credits??
I quit using the explorer terms after week 3 in the game. Useless pretty much.
Would be more fun ganging up and going to take on some real beasties - oh wait, my guild does that now.

I think it would be a good idea if it paid more and if not all herds assisted but rather ran..making you chase them if your camo or mask scent broke thus spooking them. Add in a few predatory critters that you are competing with for the meats/hides, then you may have something...a Ranger-ish challenge.
Heck they already warp...we can just say they were spooked and its something the devs wont have to fix...that makes it a shoe in.

THANKS A LOT KIMI NOW PEOPLE ARE THINKING!!!!! 
I like the idea of the missions because killing that herd was some of the most fun ive had playing SWG in a looooong time....just seeing those things charging reminded me of dogs running after food

I Love the idea personally

I like the idea because I take special glee in killing all the (baby) versions of creatures out there that I can...

Nah, CH isn't about killing lots of creatures, it's about training lots of creatures and then forcing them to do your bidding... then yelling at them when they run away.

I like this idea just because the uber herd looked fun. However, I don't know about it being a mission. This would make it easier for people who are after a specific type of resourc but it would also give a big advantage to people with powerful area attacks. I can just imagine what a commando with novice scout could do with one of these missions.
If there was a random chance of this happening however... that would be pretty cool. Kind of like those Merek lairs that suddenly pop a Queen and lots of angry death. I can think of a lot of lag issues this would bring up. A poor little scout shooting one of these lairs would get munched pretty quickly... and then you'd have a hundred dewbacks just standing around.
Still... it would be fun!
