Thread: Is there a (great) new feature of camps as of the last patch, or have I always just missed this?

Okay, so I'm a ranger with Frontiering II, and the ability to make a Field Base. I'm also an overt Rebel. Well, I was taking a breather in my Field Base, and went to check the status, to see how much time I had been camped. I was shocked to discover another option on the panel -- Requisition Items! Huh?! I can get faction weapons and armor (albeit at a highter faction point cost) at my camp?!
As a test, I pitched a basic tent, and found I didn't have the ability to requisition stuff, so it definitely had something to do with my level of camp kit. I'm assuming I can requisition even more stuff when I'm finally able to pitch a High-Tech Field Base.
So tell me -- has this always been in there? Is it only available to overts? Or was this added with the patch?
Wow, I am soooo loving ranger....

Anyone know what the list of what can be spawned at the current HTFB?
Also, anyone else really excited about the potential implications of a new modular high end camp that can spawn faction stuff while also getting some potential goodies from the Outdoorsman list?

I heard about this feature some time ago. Not sure when it first appeared but you should be able to find the high tech field base on the map as well (when overt). Don't know about the normal field base.

It has been in awhile. Long as you're overt, it works.
I've seen "Imperial --" whatever on the overhead map though, so yeah..

It's been there for a while. I don't know how long precisely. Nor do I know exactly what level of camps have this feature..
It would be nicer if you could requisition things more likely to be useful in the wilderness. Can you place a turret anywhere besides a battlefield or defending a faction base? If not, then it's frankly useless. So are most of the guns and armor.

It's actually really coincidental this comes up now. To add some spice back into what was becoming a stagnant city, we've gone Rebel and joined the server-wide Rebel Alliance network a friend of our's formed. They've already got a rather impressive base on Lok, and as a Ranger who's often wondered on his usefulness to the struggling rebellion, it's nice that I already have some way to contribute.
I played around with this last night. As you know, you've gotta be Overt to access the Requisition options in the Tent Terminal. Being Overt and placing a camp puts it on the Planetary Map.
You can requisition two different categories of things:
I noticed that within the window that shows these lists is a "Field Base Camp Modifier" value. I am a Rebel Sergeant and was using a Field Base Camp on Lok. Those are the two or three variables I feel likely contribute to the value of 14% I had. Basically, requisitioning something in a camp costs 14% more than doing so in a base. I don't know if that goes down with the HTFB or faction rank or even by planet.
I was somewhat disappointed that I could hire personnel. They're quite inexpensive in a base (at Sergeant I can pick up a few rebel NPCs for around 400 FP each), and really would be a massive boon deep in the field. But perhaps that's why we can't hire them in the field
We also can't call the Medical nor the R-series droids in the camp.
I'm putting together a quick web page that includes all faction perks, costs, ranks and abilities. I need a quick reference sheet, and everything I've seen has been all over the place.
Good times.

- Items. These are weapons and armor.
- Structures. These are the cool deployables like Faction Scanners, Turrets, Minefield and the Headquarters.
