The Jenquai Seeker (JS) is a Tradesman-class pilot for those who prefer the path less taken and want to discover the hidden strengths of this exclusive profession.
The main role for a Jenquai Seeker in group play is repairing shields, with some fighting support. Like other Jenquai professions, the JS possesses the Cloaking skill, a useful complement to typically lightly-armored Jenquai ships.
The Seeker also has a role as a builder. Like the Terran Tradesman, it can build almost every item in the game, including the Tradesmans' specialty of Component construction. The TT and the JS each lack a build skill, however: TTs can build shields but not reactors, while JSs can build reactors but not shields. The third class of Tradesman, the Progen Privateer, can build both shields and reactors, but lacks the ability to build devices and engines, which both the TT and the JS possess. For more information, consult Manufacturing and Tradesman.
The Jenquai Seeker was originally planned, but never implemented when Earth & Beyond originally went Live in 2002. Users of the Earth & Beyond Emulator may now experience and enjoy playing this profession!
