Just curious: Which career book would YOU like next?

[DrNate 37]

The title pretty much says it all. Now that the Hired Gun book is nigh (well, it's not super nigh, but it has been on the boat for 47 days). Anyway, now that it is nigh, I'm curious to know which EotE career you'd most like to see covered by the next book. If you'd like, you can even make two votes. Which career would you like to see next, and which one do you predict they'll do next?

Just FYI, the remaining choices are: Colonist, Technician, Bounter Hunter, and Smuggler. 

 

I'm shocked that Bounty Hunter wasn't one of the first two released, so I'm guessing that it will be next. However, I'd prefer it to be Colonist. 

 

You can also, if you'd like, tell us which Career for AoR you expect/wish to see first. 

IIRC, those are: Ace, Commander, Diplomat, Engineer, Soldier, and Spy.

 

I predict Engineer, but I'd really like it to be a book for Commanders. 

 

What do you think?

Like you, I'd like to see colonist next.  Only to give people more incentive to play them.  They are my hardest sell.  After that I'd like bounty hunter, tech, then smuggler. No particular reason for their order, it's just the order I'd like.  That said, I'd bet most of these are already done and just waiting for the "right time" to be announced and released, so I'm guessing my opinion will hold little sway in what is indeed next.

Smuggler.

[Colyer 100]

I want it to be Colonist, and I actually predict either Colonist or Technician next. I have in my head, for some reason, they'll alternate between the more combat oriented classes and the non-combat oriented classes meaning Explorer->Hired Gun->Colonist or Technician->Smuggler or Bounty Hunter->Remaining non-combat->Remaining Combat.

 

But the divide between combat and non-combat careers is pretty arbitrary to the point that I may just be making it up. So we'll see.

[Droma 9]

Bounty Hunter

[djplasmid 7]

Technician!

[CaptainRaspberry 1,190]

Colonist or Smuggler next. As for AoR, I'd like to see Ace, but Commander would be cool, too.

[MaddockKrug 71]

Technician or Colonist, because I enjoy playing supportive characters a lot more than role-specialized ones ...

[Col. Orange 1,664]

Bounty Hunter.  Mainly because I'd like to know how it should be done, rather than my "blunder around trying (and failing) not to make a fool of myself" approach.

[bsycamore 18]

Colonist or Smuggler

[That Blasted Samophlange 6,926]

I would like colonist as well... mainly to see if my predictions of entertainer, herder (animal companion themed) and (sector)ranger come to fruition.

[kaosoe 7,580]

Technician. Specifically for the The Outlaw Tech. Scavenging and building stuff needs to be expanded.

Colonist. 100%...

This is by far my favorite career so far and I think a book tailored towards them could have some surprisingly good background information.

I hope they spend some time with this.

 I think I want smuggler, it's an obviously important book to the setting.  They should make it double sized.  Outlaw tech is my favorite class but I can wait for that.  My guess bounty hunter would be last..?

[NicoDavout 195]

Technician with a guide to repairing, modifying and droids.

I don't think Bounty Hunter will be last. It's too popular. Unfortunately, my guess would be Technician goes last, since that class never seems to get the love it deserves no matter the setting.

[Union 430]

Didn't get the last one, won't get the next one.  Far too thin on useful material.  The main content is the filler art.

[Fgdsfg 1,017]

Technician or Smuggler.

[Orjo Creld 224]

Jedi/ Sith

[Jamwes 643]

I would love to see Colonist as well. However, I bet they go through the ones they made cards for because they think those are the sellers, which Colonist wasn't one.

[GmMichael 55]

My table would currently benefit from Bounty Hunter, Technician, and Smuggler books. 

[CrunchyDemon 264]

Bounty Hunter.

 

Playing one, I find it more challenging to expect the GM to run Bounty Hunting adventures.  I think I would know how to play such an adventure, I've certainly built my PC to, in my mind, be effective at its role.  But the GM typically has their own idea for the adventure, and they're typically catering to an adventure suitable for the whole group, rather than one specific PC.

 

Besides... I'm not sure what percentage cut from a bounty is fair to give to one's non-bounty hunting partners.

There are talent tree cards out for all 19 EotE specializations now, so if "has refernce cards" is a criteria, everything is fair game.

No such careers in EotE, so probably no career splat books for them either for this game. So wrong game to want it for, you're looking for Force and Destiny coming 2015 (beta later this year I expect).

 

As for my preference, I'm on the Colonist wagon for some reason, not that I'd mind a bounty hunter or smuggler book next, or perhaps even the technician. I think some more Colonist options would really improve the career's popularity.
