It depends on what the customer wants. Most say "whatever you think is best", at which point I fall back on what i do when building for myself:

First, it depends on the ship, and the capacitor, and to a lesser extent, the mass/energy available. But given a "normal" state of affairs, it goes like this:

the only upgrade I tend to use is the Quickshot. But not for "normal" circumstances. Usually, i don't use any of them at all. I experiment for min damage first-- minimum or maximum both give the same boost to the average damage, but experimenting the minimum up gives a tighter damage range than experimenting the max, yeilding less of a damage spread per hit and giving a much more consistant weapon in terms of the number of shots it takes to make a kill and so on. Next I move on to maximum, generally, unless I'm on a mood for a fast, slightly less damaging gun, in which case I'll drop the rest into fire rate.

On some ships, especially my A-Wing, I use the Quickshot. reason being that with a good capacitor, the A-wing's single gun will go on for ages before it sucks up all the juice. So, A quickshot to up the DPS, since the gun'll have a total surplus to fire from, and then damage experimentation as per usual.

the other upgrades are left to filling customers' specific requests.

• Laser Carbine: AP2 helps this baby out, especially against Jedi who have to wear robes and not armor. The huge min/max difference doesnt usually come into play because few Jedi take ranged skills to get ranged mitigation.


• Elite Carbine: With a good damage slice, you can get this to have a good min/max damage, so you will have a better DPS than most other carbines.


• Enhanced E11: Good for sticking an additional bleed on the foe.

Pistols:

• Scatter: AP1 is useful, as is the higher damage than the average pistol.


• DE-10: High damage, and AP1. Pretty expensive, but able to drop Jedi in a few shots, so the cost is worth it.


• Modified Republic Blaster: AP1 and good damage, and with a bleed DOT on it as well. Overall a good gun.

Remember, you want a good accuracy modifier so you can hit more often, thus giving the Jedi more shots to have to saberblock, and thus getting hit more.
