Thread: On Bouty Hunter Traps and Squad Leader camps...
I personally don't think that the scout prerequisite is enough of a backing for Bounty Hunter's to get any sort of traps, or Squad leaders any camps. There are many elite professions in the game whose skills are quite unrelated to the skills in their prerequisite professions. Last time I checked, for example, Commandos didn't have any special unarmed skills, even if unarmed IV is a prerequisite to the profession.
Ranger already has specific skillsets for both camps and traps. Squad Leader and Bounty Hunter both do not. Just by that fact alone, Ranger should be the only profession to get considered for the ability to craft and use them. Ranger is designed and based around being an elite version of scout, and therefore Ranger is the only one of these three professions that really has any basis for getting new versions of scout skills. Sure, Bounty Hunters have mastered scout, and yes, Squad Leaders had to sit in camps a while already, but in their chosen professions, they have moved away from the ideas behind scout, choosing instead to hunt those with a price on their head or to lead groups strategically. Rangers have not; they remain focused on the same skills as scouts, and so Ranger should be the only profession with camps and traps beyond the novice scout version
i dont mind if the squad leaders get camps/fortifications they need some love, but if bounty hunters get new traps before we do i threw with ranger
We shouldn't be forced to get table scraps for skills, and these are both things directly in line with our skill sets. When we start giving bonuses to groups and specials that dish out insane amounts of damage, then I might consider sharing to be acceptable.
We don't get their skills, why should they get ours?
On Squad Leader Camps: I personally wouldn't mind if they got some combat-related camps or camp components if a modular camp system is ever put in place. Just as long as it leaves room for Rangers to have unique and useful camps as well. I've seen several Squad Leaders post here lately that say they don't necessarily want a camp all to themselves, they'd just like to make components to enhance a camp like turrets, etc.
On Bounty Hunter Traps: I don't mind if Bounty Hunters get some "trap-like" devices like darts that can shoot out of a wrist launcher on a gauntlet (that'd be cool, heheh) that work against npc's and pc's only, but I don't think they should get scout-like traps; they just don't fit in what the BH is supposed to be. What I really would like is for Rangers to receive a complex modular trap system that allows a high degree of customizability. If that happened, then I would say give BH some trap-like devices based off of the current scout trap model with no complaints from me.

I suggest if you are going to act like a jerk, that you stick to your own forum. If you want to be constructive and work with us on the issue then I think everyone will be glad to hear you out.
I for one have posted on the BH board that I thought you should get some widjits and gizmos that work on humanoids. I think your droids should track players. Bounty Hunter is my second favorite profession.You have my and many other Rangers blessings. Just be careful what you ask for, because the Ranger skills that you BH's covet so much are not all that great! It is just simply unreasonable for many of us that the BH's would recieve brand new traps, and theSL brand new camps,before we got the ones we were promised months upon months ago, or the ones we have were even made to do something useful.
As for the movies, you are right Rangers were not in the movies. They were however in many of the books. The books are just as important to the universe as the movies. You would know more about Rangers in the Star Wars universe if you had bothered to read some of the other posts on this forum. But... You didnt... You just trolled for chance to act like an 8 year old on christmas that didnt get what he wanted.

FIn -
For you argument, show me a CH, a medic, a commando not in the RA... the list goes on. SIllypremise, as did you expect the movies to show you the entiregamut of professions. You can't see the Rangers, they are camo'd.
BHs want traps, they can use the scout traps and quit whining. It's about all I use. Oh, they don't work on NPCs - so sorry.
As to camps for SLs - I agree they should be able to fortify existing camps. Means Rangers/SLs could work together. Might even get us perma-camps.

what Dyne said...
I left the game for a month, came back and, gee, the profession is still about useful as Smokey the Bear in Kabuhl.
At least we still got our uber Creature-to-hit-Bonus....
