Canthe apprenticeship XP i've gathered teaching Pistols and Carbines for Marksmen learners be used to apply for Scout master... or does this require purely Scout teaching XP only?

Rather strangely apprentice xp is the same across the board, so you can reach master anything by training say Ranged Support I 30 times.

I would like to see the app xp requirement for the base professions halved to 300 AP rather than needing the same 620 that the elite professions use, to help stop having people stuck at 4444 scout/medic/marksman for weeks because they can't find anyone to train.

so, if i use the 620 general apprenticeship points i have to get master Scout, can those same poits be re-used to apply towards master Marksman as well... or will i have to earn another 620 for that one?

You'll have to get more APP points.

The good news is they are so easy to get! Everyone has spare combat xp laying around (well almost) and you can find someone who has some and offer them cash to teach them Ranged Support over and over again. It only costs them 300 combat xp per train and you get 20 app points for this.

I often find people who are not aware of this and we'll trade app points back and forth until we max out at 1200 app points each.

I'd like to see an alternative source for AP, somewhat similar to the way Combat Experience works for theRanged Support - 10% of any typeofcombat xp. One model would be granting 1% of any excess xp that hasn't capped yet. Another model couldaward5% of whatever xpwould be awardedwhen you arecapped at the fourth tier in a skill tree whic would definitely work well into a long term solution. Training other people for APcould still be kept around and be a more attractive, quicker method of gaining AP.

I find it disheartening whenever I walk into a city looking for someone to train to find at least two other people there training 4-4-4-4 in three professions, one or two of which are inevitably the only ones for whichI can train someone. I understand the precept behind the system - to get players to interact but, it just doesn't work in the long run. Eventually people will settle on their final character template, rather than hologrind a new one every other week, and there will be no one left to train. The mockery that is surrendering skill boxes to relearn them for APis an obvious sign of that. Hologrinding didbandage the AP system for a while but the system itself was doomed from the start and the switching over to a quest system forthe FSCSis going to result in peeling away that bandaid.

I would also like to see an alternate method of gaining AP points. I've been stuck at Novice Scout (4-4-4-4) for so long I am about ready to give up and waist my time on something more "fun". I don't usualy post or rant, but it is getting really frustrating trying to get AP points with so much competition for them.

I have spent to many credits travelling the galaxy looking for anyone to train; and yes help the newbies out also, mostly with advise as I spend most credits trying to find them. Just about everywhere you go the cities are either deserted (especialy Talus &Rori my favourite hunting grounds) or over populated with multi-masters. I couldn't imagine having to gather the 1240 points required for Bounty Hunter.

AXP is very tough for hologrinders and for casual players.

I would like a system where you can turn in regular XP for AXP. For example - I'm capped at 200000 scout XP. I would love to be able to turn that in for AXP at say 10k XP per AXP point. Or something along those lines.

I lkie that idea you can turn in your capped xp values for like 300 app this way you can "grind it" without having to find someone to teach.

I have almost always been maxed in app, cause I only mastered 3 professions, but it did take me a long time to get back to the max app inbetween.
