Well that is easy to answer, it is the same reason we went 7 months with our name spelled wrong AND we continue to have 75% of our specials broken AND our best, working attacks at 0-0-1-2


NO LOVE FOR CARBINEERS



Maybe they will make up for it in the Combat Revamp.....


/slap self WAKE UP, this is SOE!!!

In defence of the devs: It makes a whole lot of sense for the Imp theme park to give an E-11 considering its "the" Imperial weapon in the movies. And you would think that the guys guarding the emperor would get something a little better than average. All in all it makes sense.

I'm guessing they didn't make the new weapon the Elite Carbine due to the larger number of people who are probably certified to use it (since it's only a marksman requirement.) Being the standard issue Imperial weapon also probably has something to do with it.

Dont forget too that Carbineers are rewarded with a pretty decent Carbine for completing the Nym missions whereas none of the other weapon handler classes get any kind of weapon loot whatsoever.

Hey, fresh Master Carbineer here. I just went out and bought a new Krayt DH17 Short Carbine.


Attack Speed: 2.1


Min: 156

Max: 422

Wound: 29.6%


-25 @ 0m

+50 @ 25m

-80 @ 64m


Health: 59

Action: 71

Mind: 58


Already sliced.


What I am wondering is this a pretty good carbine for mostly PvE? Spent a little bit on it, so I am just wondering if I got my money's worth.

Yes, nice damage.


Laser has AP2...but for being a Krayt DH17 that's awesome.

That is REALLY awesome, mine (6 months old) is 107 DPS and this is 138 DPS!!!!!


Not sure what you paid, but well worth it.


As far as SPEED goes, you will cap this weapon at +81 Carbine Speed....so a 1.5 speed weapon might be more DPS....all depends on each person to what weapon is better

Nice piece, a bit slow for my tastes, but still very serviceable with a 32% speed powerup.

My best Krayt DH17 was 1.0/98-234 after a 20 something percent speed slice.


The lack of AP is kind of hurtful, but its a great day to day PvE gun, since the great Pub 5 nerf stripped all but the really nasty stuff of any armor.


I wouldn't go hunting on Dathomir with it, but you should be able to rock and roll on Yavin, Dantooine and Endor.

Speed of a weapon needed for each character is different. To me anything under 2.5 speed caps ALL Specials, but to somebody with +60 Carbine speed, they need a 1.0 weapon to cap.


So the only way to compare weapons is to offer up their raw DPS..... {(max + min) / 2} / weapon speed
After that you have to know at what point you hit the speed cap....+60 caps at 1.0 and +85 caps at 2.6 for example
