Thread: A Master Squad Leader Camp type
i really like this idea, if it has do not preform any of the functions of a Ranger/Scout camp then it wont take anything away form them.
but instead of a camp, call it a 'fortifications kit' and there could be several levels for example
-basic trench (simple hole in the groud providing some increaded ranged defence)
-complex trench (better vertiion of the basic trench)
-Line of Defence (a barrier set up which provides both ranged and melee defence)
-Bunker (more improvments to melee and ranged defence plus SL skill bonuses)
-High tech defence station (more inproved Bunker)
and these are just some sugguestions. another sugguestion is a bunker or defence station could act as a cloning facility for the members of the group so if they are killed in the battle they can jump right back in... well that might be a bit too much but its an idea so ill throw it out there.
as long as they are call something other then camps and they do not preform any of the same actions that a camp does then i do not think rangers will have a problem with these.
maybe camps and fortification kits can be used in conjuction by putting them side by side or have the ability to combine them in some way is both a SL and a ranger are in the group, or if your like me and your a SL with the full Frontering tree, you could use both of these kits togeter to create an even bettertemporary stucture that would ahve the abilities of both. just something to think about. i dotn know if some of these ideas are posible to impliment but im going to throw them out there anyway
Well, as a Ranger/Squad Leader, I love this idea.
I really also like this idea and think it is a extremly fair idea for our profession, i hope that this comes into effect

As a squad leader who has not posted on the boards much at all, I really like this idea.
I have noticed that a lot of people think that it will make rangers mad, well in order to find out for usre, has anyone actually posted this idea in the Ranger forum to see what they think? Just an idea.

I am not wearing my asbestos underwear... But I agree with the guy who said call them FORTIFICATION Kits....
That makes a lot of sense in a name, Different name and purpose, therefor not a camp... I like...

Why should we try and please the Rangers? We shouldn't feel obligated to take sloppy seconds from anyone.
We have already paid the skill points and lost time gaining Survival 4. I can only hope we did this for a reason. Give us forifications. Make it different and complimentary to their camps. If we are happy, thats all that matters, IMO.

we should take the Rangers oppinions into consideration because if the DEVs do decide to give us these Fortification kits down the road, and the rangers do have a problem with it they will start demanding that it be nerfed, and personaly i dont like having something cool and then loosing it, so lets get it right the first time so that everyone is happy and nothing needs to be changed.
i went ahead and posted to the ranger board with a link to this thread

i think this is a great idea, maybe at novice the Bunker schematic becomes avaible, and then with different SL skills you gain more defense, better SL improvement,s etc, and then at master SL, gain Superior bunker or something really uber, this is one hell of an idea
cross-posted from the ranger board
I was talking about this with a friend the other day and we really liked the idea of having the two different types of 'camps' work together. For instance the SLs fortification would have walls and some defenses (we especially like the idea of having weapons that would have to be fired bya player). then on the radial of the fortification there would be an option that rangerswould seeto 'nest campsite' the nested campsite would provide the healing bonus and benefits of being in the camp to the fortification (andhave a visual, and maybe some special abilities that aren't available to either of the types solo)and would remain until the SL disbanded his fort.
It would also be interesting if the campsite and fortification had to be the same type.. so the HTFB could only be used with the top SL fort.
I would prefer Fortifications to be stand alone, that way we wouldn't need to rely on another proffesion, but we could choose to work with the other profession to make an incredibley helpful Combat/Healing outpost for Big Raids/Deffense of a Position/ Huge Battles etc...
