Updated Ranger Missions?

[BR B-263-54]

As a Ranger can you now carry out the Wanted missions similar to what we see on the bounty hunter terminals?

Seems pretty stupid that the lawful good, lawman/woman faction doesn't get you to arrest suspects and instead wants you to gun them down but the merciless bounty hunter faction pays you more to bring people in alive.

Who told you that the rangers are lawful good ? Did you know that FC leaders are a council of evil corp leaders like Benjamin Bayu and Ron hope ? Its the wild west not some do gooder fantasy world

It's the brilliant Bethesda writing, they sure put a lot of thought into making the game immersive (not) :p

They are the "lawful good" faction as per the trope, that's exactly how they're presented.

Last time I checked bandits and outlaws were still often arrested and brought before a judge in the wild west - as per British common law tradition which is what the US operates under.

Remember when Benjamin Bayu says he doesnt negociate with pirates ? Thats one of the rangers bosses

I don't know how to tell you this but... This game isn't set in the wild west. It's not even set in this reality, as it's an entirely different timeline if you'd paid any attention to the story. So why should a faction there behave the way you expect them to when the game _literally shows you_ they do not act like that?

Only lawful, they operate under the orders of the FC council of governors which is as corrupt and evil as you can get

The game presents that they do act like that... I wasn't the one to make reference to the wild west the other bloke did! I answered in the context of his wild west comparison (which was incorrect by the way.)

The rangers make numerous mentions to people being arrested, they even question you as to why you didn't arrest Hope at the end of the Ranger mission.

The Rangers are also clearly based on the old west "lawman" trope, I'd argue taking alot of influence from the Texas Rangers.

Shove them out an airlock and the problem is resolved and forgotten, next.

Strikes me as an oversight at best and just downright poor writing at the worse.

Hopefully modders will sort this mess out.

I'd be total ok with Bethesda retroactively changing the game so the same mechanic is available to Freestar Rangers.

100% it's how it should be.

It wouldn't need much changing either just give them the bounty missions on their terminals aswell.
