I'm going to use many of these links while working on The Outdoorsman 2.1 . Speaking of which, I'm finally working hard on it, and the story part of it is coming along nicely. I'm writing a new story so that we incorporate many new ideas. Basically, the idea is this:
Ranger comes into town, hears about mission. This opens up discussion about the new mission types. He sets off into the wilderness to find the creature, is beset by a storm. This leads to discussion about the weather effects and Ranger camping. The Ranger then begins to track the creature down, leading to new ideas about /areatrack. He moves on to find the creature and kills a few critters to gather resources. This leads to the updates to Ranger harvesting. He then uses these materials to make a few traps...leading to discussion on trapping. He camoflages himself, which brings up the updates we want for camo, including the ghuillie suits. Then he goes and kills the critter...using the new Ranger weapon. He then cuts the head off the animal, leading to the discussion of taxidermy, or, alternatively, the ability to loot certain skulls. He then realizes where he is, and finds himself hunting a particular creature, native only to that area. This, of course leads to the implementation of /track. The Ranger then stops off at his Ranger cabin...yeah, you guessed it, that's the part i talk about hunting cabins. Then he takes his mount and goes back to the city to collect his reward, leading to discussion of our TN skills being useable with mounts and vehicles. The story ends as all good stories do...with the hero in a cantina watching a show and tipping a few back.

i wasn't sure about mounted combat. i've always been a little wary for this to be in the Ranger tree, but if the general consensus is that mounted combat is an idea we'd like to pursue, I'd be happy to change it. This is not "my" vision of Ranger, afterall. The original outdoorsman went through several changes because of the imput of the community. This is going to be the same. If people tell me they want mounted combat, then mounted combat will be in the proposal.

Hey that's cool Phen, I'm looking forward to reading your new story. I was actually asking if we wanted to add the link to the mounted combat post, to the orginal list of Links above.

Oh, this is soooooo going to step on the CH toes, who are also trying to improve mounted combat. As Rangers we're allowed the same non-agro max cl10 pet as every other (including the crafting!) professions. Mounted combat truly doesn't belong in a ranger skill tree.Whatdoes makes sense is that CH's are able to calm/steady theirmounts enough to use specials.
For me it doesn't really matter, I need to dismount anyway to harvest the corpses so I don't care if that's before or after the fight. If you're thinking about easy kiting, rest assured that if it gets implementedit will be a sort of /calmmount command which will make your mount as fast as a player on foot which will last till 30secs after combat.

I see it this way:
- Rangers can use specials from mounts
- add to that, shooting from a vehicle
- CH can use thier pets while mounted, including pet specials and calming, bolstering, ect.
- I could also see a CH not loose control of a pet to a Jedi while mounted, but the Jedi could unhorse the CH and then control it.

Big ups here Owen! Great Job, I was thinking about doing something similar.
Five stars for you... maybe Calc can sticky you also. I think if we can index a good number of the more popular / familiar ideas we'll give the devs a great starting point when the time comes.

And yeah Calc was putting up a sticky thread with ideas in, thats why he asked me to make this thread so he could link to it.
I think its named something like: "From stealth to camps, ranger ideas"
Or somthing like that.
