I apologize for going off topic but...

What is a descrambler? Never seen a starredname like yours Drakenya, how didthat happen?

Also, is there maybe some placethat sayswhat merits all the name stuff? I.E. Name Color, Rank...maybe something else I'm missing...

back on topic:

If they made supression fire last LONGER it would be good crowd control.

an area KD would always be nice. Right now you need to be a Commando with a KD to do this....

I'd like to see posture change attacks again. I know posture means nothing, but if you were running at a guy, and suddenly go thrown to prone, would make you sit for a second, wouldn't it? *envisions a 'stand' macro being put on toolbars again*

And for the original idea:

If they made it a 2 second attack, or so, that fired about 8 bolts (4 shots/second) and each did about 1/4- 1/5max damage (before applying defences) I don't think that would be terribly imbalancing. Still do overall more damage than say, legshot or critical shot, but only if every shot hit.

So say I had a 1000 max damage elite carbine. Using rapid fire, I would get off 8 separate shots in 2 seconds that did 1/5 max damage a piece. That's 1600 damage (before modifiers [defences/accuracy, etc.]) So that's more than leg shot, certainly, but ONLY if every shot hit. Going against a defence stacker you might make 3/4ths the shots hit, which is 1200 damage before modifiers.

Not that bad. Couple it in with a 10 second timer, and you are looking at a nice special that isn't imbalancing at all.
