Here are my suggestions for my proposed Space Ranger profession. (note, this post is purely for humor, so keep the flames away *equip flame-retardant jacket*)
/maskscent - Space Rangers will have the Ability to Mask the Scent of their ship, so that other ships cannot smell it. sure you can't smell thigns in outer space, but it's still a neat idea. while your ship is masked, other ships cannot smell it, and thus will not aggro you.
/areatrack - The area track will work just like it currently does, but it will give up and down as directions as well. when you area track for animals, you will get a listing of each and every asteroid in a 450m radius.
/cammo - you can apply cammo to your ship. You need 4000 units of black dye per cammo kit. Black dye will be looted off of squid creatures found in the middle of very deep water. of course you cannot attack things in deep water, so you'll just need to find an exploit that will allow you to loot it. Alternativly, since Mon Calamarians are sort of squid like, you can also loot Black Dye off of Mon Cal NPCs. While cammoed, your ship can fly between asteroids without the asteroids aggroing you. also, you'll blend into the background, so other pilots won't see you. unfortunatly, the cammo kit only lasts for 5 minutes, then all the black dye wears off, unless another ship smells you, then it wears off right away)
Camping - Using 150 units of assorted resources, you will be able to craft a full blow space station, complete with landing pads, cantina (with fully stocked bar) NPC trainers, faction recruiters, and other assorted NPC city elements. (ever notice how few resources we use for our really high end camps?)
Harvest - Any time you destroy another ship in space, you can harvest the metals all of it's outer hull. you'll get rougly 100 units of steel off of a single large star destroyer. but, if you have a droid tethered to the back of your ship, and you eat the right food, you can harvest 125 units of steel off the ship.
Traps - you can craft traps that will lower the melee defense of other ships and asteroids. that way a ship will be more vulnerable to a head-on collision than it normally would.
so, what do you guys think? i know i'm ready to use up skill points to become a Space Ranger.
The Few, The Proud, The Space Rangers...

I think in addition to this, we should be able to, erm, milk Mon Cal players for black dye.
Brilliant ideas all in all.

hehe... finally a post that correctly identifies the evolutionary link between mollusks and Mon Cals... (silly invertebrates)

Tracking should allow rangers to correctly calculate a hyperspace vector to find ships

A Space Ranger / Creature Handler can tame a Wookiee and use the Wookiee as a co-pilot just like Chewie.

I am really hoping that there are space critters... like mynocks, or the space slug... or the budong... that might be pretty cool high end content.

Don't think I've forgotten that vendor comment. I WILL track down and kill you one of these days.
Edit: Ooops, I was thinking of the Pink Five fan film when I posted that, not the cheap voltron rip off. Though, having a small brother at the time I think I was forced to watch the first three seasons. (I liked the Green one the best
). Eventually I converted him to "Rescue Rangers" instead and we've never looked back on that chapter of our lives.Message Edited by Vorpaks on 09-13-2004 12:47 PM

I for one demand new Space Ranger skills...
/track in space?? I want to spawn asteroids in front of enemies ships.
I want a space bow too. It shoots an arrow that flies in a straight line....forever. It's main purpose is causing lots of lag to idiots. You shoot a hundred arrows in the same direction that their going and the server has to work doubletime to compute the vectors of all the space arrows. Hopefully, the lag causes them to not notice the asteroid you just spawned in front of them....
Also, why can't we harvest the nebulae?
and I want a space hunting lodge...looks like a Little House on the Prarie....with huge engines. And a rocket launcher turret.
