Man, Droids aren't worth it..there just junnk that follows you. I was just thinking of something really great. Have a droid for Rangers that are like the ones for Medical use. I think it would be so nice if the had a droid that harvested for you, and increased the amount you can get, or even harvest all 3. Then it can keep the units in its storage.

Am i crazy to think this. and is this something none of the developers look at.

We don't need a droid thatr can harvest all 3. We should be able to harvest all 3. Anyone who has ever hunted knows if you skin a deer you could easily get its hide, meat and bones. What I would like to see is scouts only harvesting only 1 resource. Novice ranger harvesting 2 resources, and Master ranger harvesting all 3. Thats just me 2 credits.... one more thing everyone is a scout, so if a master ranger could harvest all 3 it would make our profession worth while...Dont get me wrong I love being a Ranger, I just wish i could get more bang for my buck...

Make ranger all the more special the higher we go

Novice Ranger Able to harvest at normal quanties level BUT can harvest two resources

Hunt3 allow to harvest from all 3 resources' with a 20% loss

Master Ranger Harvest from ALL resources NO LOSS, even in group

MAKE MASTER WORTH SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL, and not just ranger.. all professions should make a master... exactly that MASTER!!! no one is better, yea sure dabble in all the professions u want, but only a master is the best!!!

/agree with zendor

well more or less what im talking about is finding a use for a droid that doesn't do anthing. It would be like haveing a moving skill enhancer that tagteams with you.......what if they even ran up to the corpe and harvested for you..leting you go to the next creature with out haveing to do the dirty work.

I might be cool if you could setup your droid to harvest a particular item ahead of time and then as you kill it, it would automatically target your killed item and harvest it for you. That way, if you are dealing with a large group of animals, you can get them harvested before they dissappear It would be even cooler if it worked even when you are incap'd so do you don't miss out!

I know...pretty wishful thinking but you gotta dream!

This is something I've been grumbling about for some time. Delta may remember these posts from when I was thinking about dabbling in CH.

As Rangers and even as Master Scouts, I think our connection with nature and especially creatures is very important. I'd suggest the best thing we could ask for would be the a training skill under hunting that would allow us to trainCREATURES as harvesters.

Think about it like this. Every hunter has a dog for retrieving corpses. As a Ranger we should be able to pick up a domestic animal (and lets face it lvl10 creatures, the upcoming NCH max, is nothing more than a companion) and train it as a hunting companion. I'd recommend putting it up at the top of the Tracking tree if not in the Hunting Tree from Scout.

The pet would lose it's combat abilities, much like a mount, but be able to harvest at our rate in our place... OR could have a minimal harvesting rate and simply act as another bonus to harvesting and a chance to sample other resources. I could harvest meat at my level and it could harvest bone at a lower level.

Just a thought.

AND...

Just what do those power droids do? (THOOONK!). They should be a storage droid for items, sort of like a portable closet. Maybe we all have one (invisible) wich explanes our 60 slot carrying space (now bigger then a small house). Let them deliver power cells to harvestors too

Now if I could only teach my dewback to stop eating the durni I kill.

Droids I'd like to see:

• Mineral and inorganic probe droid. allows one tic up the surveyor ability. Confers rudimentry ability and one unit samples if not a surveyor.


• Medical assitant droid. allows on tic up the medical ability, allows use of stimA for non medic, possibly allowing lowest level buffs


• Organics sampler. allows one tic up the harvsting tree for scout/ranger, allows non-scout beginner harvest ability (or half of beginner scout).


• Guardian. Does not kill things but will "stun" them such that you can ether get away or try to kill the beasty/bad guy. great for that Insto-spawn that is typical of running around in the wilderness and for miners that are all non-combat.


• Droidika. Ya, it's not gonna happen but I can dream...

I probably could think of more but you get the idea.

Oh ya, just thought of something. A lifting droid that can be programmed to run out to all your harvestors and haul the contents back to your house. Having them maintain them would be nice too

"Droidika. Ya, it's not gonna happen but I can dream..."

Actually I believe Droideka will be includedin the Combat Droid revamp for DE.

• But I have heard nothing specific, only innuendo.
