I found this in another thread.

- Sand Storms -

Sand storms on tatooine should also be something you should avoid, remember in episode 1...they mentioned the sandstorms there to be extremely dangerous. Have that in the game too...being able to track the "weather" ....being out alone in the desert and suddenly a sandstorm approaches...with no protective clothing you can suffocate. People should try to hide indoors when its happening

Wouldn't it be great if this were true. And Rangers even Scouts could make a tent protect against the damage caused by Sandstorms. It would add to the dangerousness of Tat and make it seem a lot less the habitable planet it seems now.

I like this, except that everyone will dabble in novice scout.

Most people do, but for terrain negotiation.

Good idea mendy It would be smart if this was only applicable with ranger tents.

Though, it's only useful on Tat and Lok. What about rain? What did rain ever do? Hm... well ... i had this idea once.. for Colds.. but.. well..

Well I guess trying to keep dabblers out would be secondary to trying to keep tents useful to me. I doubt this would ever be added since in the very begining they've said that wind storms are merely cosmetic. And as for protection from the rain, heck our tents don't even keep the rain out. hehe.

I like the concept. I reckon it should at least bea Ranger perk, to avoid everyone dabbling in Scout. Also, I wouldn't want to spend a sandstorm in a tent that looks and feels like the Scout camps, they wouldn't hold.

I know in some of the weather should damage threads that people were talking about it being hard to code because of server lag. It would be a nice perk, tho. Any idea of keeping dabblers out or a profession is a bad idea. This game was intentionally made for dabblers. IMO, you should look at it along the lines of "how do I keep the dabblers from being too powerful (i.e. CH in the early months of the game)."

Not to be a troll, and I watch these forums a bit more now that my alt is a master ranger, but to tell you the truth I dont think the devs could handle the whining and crying that would go with having to go indoors for storms. Logically I dont know if it would work, but I really like the idea. Perhaps make Ranger craftable clothing to prevent the sand from getting everywhere. Like rain jackets, sand blockers (like wind blockers) masks, or anything.

I am with you guys in saying that Ranger needs something. I have seen about 4 master rangers on naritus. I think it's cool and has a cool title. No real use, but it looks to have as a title.

Definately be very cool,

However i think that if that were ever implemented (which i doubt) it should be the HTFB and the one below it. The roof would make it sensible to hang a screen from.

I cant really justify a basic camp having an invisible force field around it to protect the person.
