Thread: Another idea: Who needs houses?

What if when reaching the level of Master Ranger, we were able to craft a "Long Term Field Base Kit" ... That being a permanantly deployable camp that can act as a house does now (ie. we can place furniture and items inside it).


The camp would be "home" to us, uniquely craftable and deployable by us, and would set us apart from all the generic houses that litter every other planet.


Maybe with some healing properties along with the longed-for creature repellant qualities, we would be able to pack up this camp into deed form as we do a house and place it on just about any planet we pleased. I see it as a large tent (about the size of a medium generic) with an enclosure around it with chairs, tables, etc. (which can be interchanged or customised). We would have our own homes, genuinely Ranger-ish and different. This would work in tandum with or as an alternative tothe idea of a Hunting Lodge ...


What do you think?


All comments welcome!

I think that you are on a good idea here.

we have for a while asked for a "hunting cabin" temporary, lot using, and deployable anywhere... it would heal wounds and battle fatigue...

however, my main critique is with your idea being a permanent structure, it steps on the toes of architects who are truly the masters of permanent structures.

My main wish for our camping skills would be experimentable modular camps.. (take a look at the outdoorsman proposal) and you will see some great ideas in there that closely resemble some of the things you have hit upon.

thanks for posting

Well how about incorporating some materials that only architechs can make. Then maybe less toes will be stepped upon. But untill we get some form of housing that can be placed on an advanced planet I shall sleep on the ground up in the mountains of endor

booyah! Someone else boosting the "Modular Camping" idea. I'm telling you, this idea has me excited like no other idea. The idea of Trap Launchers is awesome, and I love the new ideas for camo and a First Strike. But to tell you the truth, the idea of a High Tech Field Base Kit with a rocket launcher would just make me sooo happy. That and I think that Rangers do need moreinterdependance. This would also benefit other proffessions. A camp with a stage module that allows an entertainer to heal BF and do buffs right there would be awesome. Imagine a camp with an Tatoo Parlor mod that allowed ID's to do stat changes while in the wilderness and also do the image changes quickly (NOTE: This is a NEW idea for a module, so maybe we should add it to the requested modules...i just like the idea of every type of class having a module)


anyway, that's the idea i love. The "permanent structure" would be cool...but I agree, it would step on the toes of the Architects. It WOULD be cool if we had a semi-permanent structure like the camping lodge. A structure that could be fed more hide, bone and metal to maintain (rather than creds) would be ideal. This structure would still have a maximum lifespan (so people cant' dump massive amounts of crappy hide into the structure to make it permanent. This would act a resources sink even as a semi-permanent structure, and would ensure buildings made by Architects are still the only permanent structures.


Just my two creds.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.
