I would like to voice my objections to the ranger carbine requirement. Melee professions are being discriminated against once again. (first CM).. I was looking forward to a TKM/Ranger

Did you also post inthe In Development thread, seems that's where the dev's are reading mostly.
Personally I can't see any reason not to go for a prereq like Scout 4000 and EITHER Marksman 0004 OR Brawler 0040 (I think thats' 2hded? as thats the prereq for the other melee advancements other than fencer).
Should be the same SP, lets melee and ranged folk do their own thing, lets the devs get their Scout & a combat prof set up, and, cos its something I've always liked about Ranger, it lets the profession keep all that cool variety of combat styles thats made it so much fun.
(Obviously I[ll have missed something hugely obvious, but, well, thats life)

Lets not forget that they havent even come out with the Squad Leader revamp yet....I think we have quite a bit of time before ours comes out....and I havent even seen anything that involves having carbines as a pre-req......Then again if it comes out 100% proff positive.....then im forming the Imperial Rebellion Against SOE for the Allowment of Tera Kasi Masters in the Ranger Revamp....orrrr IRASATKMRR Ok....didnt really plan it ahead but w.e lol

Damn right. Id much rather spend more skill points getting the combat side of my template than be forced into a roll i didnt like.
Lets hope we can get the pre-reqs all scout

I think that has surpassed RATGWNIWNU in Catchyness
IRASATKMRR, it just rolls right off the tounge

Just remember this is all in development and can be changed. So if enough people speak up and say that forcing carbines is a bad thing. Then the devs should reconsider their plan.
Remember this isnt on live yet. So things can be changed.

TBH, I feel that Fencing fits more appropriately into the new Ranger. Maybe because I am partial to the fantasy genre's Rogue concept in which daggers are the primary weapon. However, in SWG I would much prefer to have a TKM / Mranger without wasting SP on marksman / carbiner 4.
