Ok I'm hoping I can do this everyday, rather than once every 2 or 3 days like SOE would do =). I hope you guys all enjoy these and give your opinions on them. I figure if one or two got read and done a month we would have the greatist profession in a few months.
Todays idea is Ranger Stations.
These ranger stations would be able to be placed only by Master Rangers, but usable by all. They could be placed in or out of cities. It would look just like a camp atFrontiering 4.They would take 4 or 5 lots.Anyone would be able to find it on a planetary map.
Inside the station crafting traps and camo kits would be done with greater efficiency. Additionaly the station would act like a perminent camp, with all of the abilities one has. Finally, tracking from inside the station will triple the range.
So, what do you all think?

interesting. It would certainly give a more "ranger feel" than other permanant structures. I am not sure how the game mechanics would be able to handle 1500m ranged tracking, but I certainly like the idea (I'd probably put one up in the middle of the krayt graveyard). But, overall....I am not sure how I would feel about this...not sure at all. This requires more thought.
btw, long time Ranger and lurker....recently decided to start posting

Dunno about the tracking bonus thing.. Why would we get a bonus for being inside a tent or whatever? To track we would be constantly on the move outside, just doesn't make sense to me that a camp would give us tracking bonuses.
I do fancy a ranger only placable structure.. more specifically a Ranger cabin or even just a stash.

the point is that the equipment inside the station would have an effect on tracking capabilities. However, this is the least importent part of the idea.

Ah, I guess I didn't think of that because I see Rangers as using the old grass-roots (
) tracking method of just examining the environment manually. Suppose there are various different views on what Rangers should be.

I guess I would like to see it contain some sort of "stash" like in the outdoorsman proposal. I would hate to use all those lots and have no storage out of it.

It should definetly have space in it. It should probably be empty at first, unlike regular camp. You could then put stuff inside it. Additionaly you could put stuff in the tent(s) which would act like a bank/backpack

How about instead of coming with amenities like the crafting stations with the frontiering 4 camp, you can place player-made crafting stations like in a house, but usable by anybody in a camp.

So other than a tracking bonus - this is just a small house, but it eats a lot of lots I don't have.
I do not want to see any houses on Endor anyhow, But I guess the no-build would take care of that.
Realistically, why don't we ask for the added range with the HTFB? Using some sort of ground surveillance radar stuff maybe...
