Thread: Grief the Ranger yay!
I'm on Endor hunting Carnivor Meat for sim As to put in the droid I'm buying. Some guy walks up and says
"Wow you must be a Master Rifleman."
"Yup just it got yesterday, I hunt much faster now."
"You want to hunt wooly with me?"
"No I'm just here for a bit of Carnivore."
Yackty blah blah. I was suposed to be impressed by his HB 47 droid, I noticed he had every badge I had ever seen but not ONE mastered profession (stacker), stuff yack blah.
Then I make my mistake..
"Are you a Reb?"
"Ya"
"There is a nice stack of mean STs 100m north watch your self. Heck even as an Imp I have to watch it, they break my camo."
More begging, yacking, blah. He finaly goes away.
A short bit later he zips past me on his swoop, some purple dots pop up on the radar, my camo breaks. I damn near get my unarmored, unbuffed butt killed, by a Merek Death's head, a Merek Harvester, and a pair of Venom Filled Arachnes that came along for the party.
Fix Camo.

I was out last night on dath for a bit and was feeling like my /maskscent was breaking way more often. Who knows... some days its good and others it's bad.
Totally agree, some days camo/maskis great, other days it gets broken by a frog hopping about in the terrain (those little guys are so cute!)
What I find (and it might be my imagination) is that if camo/mask lasts a little while, it tends to settleitself inand work against lots of things until it naturally wears off, but it seems most likely to break just after I have applied it.
Anyone else find this? Or have I been chewin' on the ol' bark too much?

Lol
Harvesting? Lets not bring hard realism in to this profession, we won't have one when we are done, lol.
That and they aren't just "seeing" me. Even before they started breaking my conceal they would still stop me for scans.
I could care less if they can still see me. They are on my side after all. Its the screaming "OMG and Imp Ranger, kill her!" that makes me mad. And thats what breaking a conceal is after all.
if you're concealed, you're hidden from view. if your concealment is broken, they see you. If you, as an active Imp, are being attacked by imps, that's an issue. But having your camo broken just means they've spotted you. It doesn't mean they're yelling, "attack her", it means they're saying "wait, look at that, there's somebody over there, who is it?"

Granted, but you'd think a discreet nod would suffice. To me, it's more as though the stormtroopers are saying, 'Hey, isn't that Agent156? How are you? Doing some undercover work for the Empire, I see. Yep, good old undercover Agent156. Hey, everybody, it's Agent156! And on some secret mission, too!'
I mean, as far as I know, yellow-dot critters don't check maskscent. (Do they?) Because it seems like the same thing.
