Ranger Archive

So here's an idea (more a thought, really) I already posted on the scout board...

First off, I'm not a ranger yet. I have the points and all, but I'm waiting till the changes (tracking! woot!) go in before investing. So I humbly grovel beneath you all

Now, this new tripwire trap. It works on NPCs ja? So I wonder if that would count AT-STs as well.

Because that could lead to hilarious things Can you imagine groups of overt rebel ranger with combat skills running around Imperial controlled towns loaded to the teeth with tripwire traps.... Heh.. Trap AT-ST, blast owner

TC rangers.. Are the traps in there yet? If so.. A test, I wonder.. Here's the idea. Covert rebel ranger. Use trap on Overt imperial. Do you get a TEF? CAN you use the trap as a covert? Because that gives you a pretty useful first attack...

And if that works (I'm sorry about rambling on here.. I'm just sorta tossing ideas out as they come) then can imagine if you have a rebel combat group with a covert ranger. Wait till attacked by an imp with an AT. Send the ranger out to trap the AT while firepower is aimed at the imp himself.

We have (almost) balance!

Lol.. SO many rebel rangers if this works

I feel kinda bad for saying this, but I've toyed with the idea of dropping a covert detector and placing my camp on top of it. Large camps tend to draw people to it, and with the covert detector I can open fire on people while they are still covert (in theory). Yeah, it's mean. But I've been caught on fire one too many times

As far as I know, the only current 'rule' with Rebel vs. Imperial PvP is that there ARE no rules.

Basically, if it works due to a game system, use and abuse it. So dropping a camp on top of a covert detector is not only legal.. I think its INGENIUS!!! Well done!

Guys,

It WOULD be ingenious, if the detector wasn't considered a "structure". You'll get the too close to a building spam.

Excuse me for my ignorance. What is a covert detector?

Tried it last night. Set the deed (the footprint is massive), and camp will fit right on top. No building spam at all. Of course it was 2:00 in the morning, and no one walked by to try it out, but at least I know it's possible now

Gronchar, a covert detector is a faction perk that allows you to see covert members of the opposing faction. If it works like it should, you will be able to fire on them without them going overt. (But you have to be overt to use it)

*Of a sudden, imagines tons of Rangers setting up their camps on detectors... *

Very nice! Now quick, bury this thread... I wouldn't want any more imps catching on. (Yup, an often-times overt ranger!)

Chunk,

It works!

This is awesome.

Unfortunately, I can pretty much guarantee its not supposed to.
