Why can't you allow Scouts to be actual "Scouts?" (see below)


Radar should be a skill gained through Novice Scout


  • All Non-Novice Scout will still have compass features, as well as waypoint numbers. The screen will only show a metallic cover with a symbol (based on faction, I'd say). They can still use waypoints, but will not be able to see them on the radar screen.
  • Any player with Novice Scout will gain basic radar function up to 32m radius and be able to see waypoints and lairs. Scouts can then advance up the Exploration skill tree to unlock wider range for the Radar, as well as the ability to see Creatures, NPCS, and PCS.
  • Ranger-Camo abilities should mask aplayer so they are undetected on radar.
  • This would make scouts actual "scouts," going ahead of a group and relaying back information about enemy numbers and placement.

  • Droid Engineers could create "Radar" modules for Probots and other droids. These modules would only work for Scouts. This would create a second Radar screen from the droids point of view, so a droid could be sent to scout farther ahead than the actual player, or a scout could watch over two areas at a time.

Guys,


Lemme clarify - this isn't a "request for new stuff" question.


This is a genuine "How does this work" type question.

Not asking for anything new here, just asking for what is rightfully ours. The ability to scout.

What is the reason camps disband when the owner gets into combat?


How's that?

With droid modules that can harvest now why is Scout even a profession. None of the things in scout are really needednow unfortunately.

Why do BHs have to be Scouts, instead of Brawlers?


Scouts - noble profession, messed up by whiney BHs.


Not that the brawlers want em either, but if a BH is a man-hunter, shouldn't they be experts in hand to hand combat also?

How exactly do wire mesh, glo juice and glo wire traps reduce resistance? I see almost NO difference in damage I deal after using one of these, and on examine, their resists don't change at all... not sure what exactly they're meant to accomplish.

here's my question.


Why introduce a droid that can harvest resources if the scouts are already doing that, some even rely on it for income.

You have to have novice scout to use that droid and if you have enough harvest modules on it you will harvest even more organics than you normally would. So the droid is actually a scout helper, not replacement.

Guys,


Really.


How many fricking times do I have to say this? THE DROID REQUIRES NOVICE SCOUT.


Now, can we get some non-smartass type questions? There has to be something that you guys want to know.


Right now, I've gottwo viable questions:


1.) Camping - Why do camps disband when entering combat?


2.) Trap resistances - what do they really do?


Do we not have ANYTHING else we want to know?
