But really, the idea is that camo conceals you from creature and npc mobs. (not all)
It can be applied to any player. (They do not need scout)
It is a craftable item. Your mods determine the camo types you can craft and employ.

Amazingly, a few people have chosen to put up a thread at the top of the board. something along the lines of "all your Ranger Questions answered here.
Sorry just busting your chops.
To answer your question, camo makes you undetectable by creatures in much the same way that the scout skill mask scent does. However, the difference is that camo kits have to be made, they have limted number of uses, and they (are supposed to) work better than mask scent. Many Rangers forgo this skill since you have to find specific types of harvests and Mask scent works almost as well, especially if you have clothes that increase your mask scent/ conceal skills.
Camo applies no great bonuses, but it does apparently last longer and work better. Plus, unlike mask scent, it can be applied to others, to hide them from creatures as well.

Fun with camo:
Get or make a camo kit for the planet you are on.
Find the lair of the baddest thing on the planet.
Get a most hated enemy to follow you to the lair and run past it, dance around it, laugh at yournow hapless victimand escape.
btw:
- Only need the camo kit to use it and the /conceal command, don't have to be able to make it (have a someone who can make it if you can't). Ranger 1/0/0/0 can use a kit on Dathomir made by a Master.
- To use it, type /conceal. If you have the correct kit in your inventory, you are. (there is no "use" option on the kits themselfs). Does not work if it is in your backpack.

Camo is useless for Scouts/Rangers. Maskscent is free and works just as well, except on NPCs, but then again, any NPC worth hiding from can see you in camo.
Camo is maskscent for non-scouts.
Camo does not work on the corvette, the DWB, or on any level NPC over spawn.
Camo breaks at the same frequency as maskscent, and the camo depends on the level of the Ranger applying it to the non-scouts.
Just my opinion, never humble. As a side note, I carry no camo kits, and except for Talus kits (which I make and name as beers as a joke), I have made no camo kits in months, nor have I used any.

I burn through them nightly. in a lot of situations i will use them on myself. Because they don't break as often as mask scent. And if you use the right materials. You can get 15 uses out of a Dathomir pack. For those who are unaware of this. When making conceal kits use your weapons tool and do it at a public/private/droid crafting station. You get to experiment on the uses. So my Dath kits go from 6 to 15 uses with the 10 points at Master Ranger.
Camo kits are one of those long term discussions on this forum like areatrack. Some people love it and swear by it. Others hate it and think its worthless. Its all a matter of opinion.

Fodder, if you get a really good craft station of your own - like level 42 - you will get even more uses out of a kit.
My station is only level 24 - and with mediocre materials I can easily get 17 uses from a Talus kit. I have been as high as 24 ( that was a case of Bud...lol).
A friend is making level 42 stations (we hope). No telling what I will get then.

I've been mostly making them in the field with my droid (slaritbartfast). Im going to be heading back into our town probaly today to do some crates. We have a couple high level stations in town. I'll go see if it gives me better odds. Plus the bespin port and the fact my towns a research center should help.
Thanks for the advice
