I thought up a new Ranger skill that could be very marketable. Rangers are suppose to be the great hunters and trackers. What about a /capture skill. This would allow Rangers to catch a baby creature and store them in our data pad to be sold to Creature Handlers. We would not be able to tame or use these creatures without taking CH skills ourselves, but it would bea way to make a few more credits.
I thought of this idea because I've run all over places like Endor, Dathomir, and Dantooine. Every now and then, I see baby creatures that would make great pets, but there are no CH's around to tame them. Plus I hate to see a baby creature go to waste.

As an ex-longtime-CH, I don't think I can lean far enough to see this as profitable or fair to CHs. I've actually replied to a similar suggestion before, but to summarize:
1) Almost no one uses wild pets anyway - BE pets are already underpowered as it is, and they're WAY better than even the absolute best wild pets.
2) There's already a class that can capture baby animals - Creature Handler. We don't ask Commandos to borrow their flame throwers, and I certainly don't expect to cook up the animal I just harvested to make some delicious food that boosts my secondaries.
