Ah yeah, I was very reluctant to put good skill enhancing armor attachments into armor that would just be useless ina week or so so I had some special stuff made. With slice they are 90% resist all 50/13/30 encumb. I felt pretty good about putting the attachments in those.

I found players who sold them and bought them for exorbitant sums.

Someone told me that there is a max cap for speed and for accuracy. Is this true? I heard it was 130 for both is this also true?

Not sure about accuracy, but speed is hard capped at 1 second. You simply can not fire anything or hit anything faster than 1 second per hit.
You can have all the speed mods you want, I'm not aware of a hard cap. However, getting above 100 (in most cases) is pointless, as you'll hit the 1 secondspeed cap with almost any weapon.
Like I said, I know nothing of an accuracy speed cap. I'm sure though, at some point, gaining accuracy with a specific weapon specialty is probably pointless, as you can only be so accurate.
Accuracy stacking will probably be eliminated with defense stacking, but I'm not sure. After that, its a moot point.

I am currently 0004 pistoleer and a newly aquired novice bounty hunter 0032.
I am wondering at what point do I drop the speed line of pistoleer. I know there is a 1 second cap,
at what point do I hit that.

Please no de-pantsing!!!1
I am not in this for dabbling, just looking for more content. I was a TKM master smuggler and had the speed line for smuggler specials. Bounty hunter was always something I wanted to try out.
I do have one other question while I am here though. Are the BH missions just and exerecise to see If you can outdamage the mark? I am so used to being able to Low blow and panic shot anything. I know there is a knockdown in the carbine line. Is it worth it to keep novice brawler for the warcry?

I would dump it and go for the carbine KD/Dizzy. They do a far better job at putting the enemy out of the fight. However the Ham costs are crazy so get a nice low ham carbine to do your specials on then switch for power damage when they take effect.

First in response to your initial post, the way to tell you're hitting the speed cap is to go into the options menu, go to the chat section, then turn on the option that puts timestamps on messages. Then fight something with your weapon of choice and see if shots are coming out every second. If they are, you're hitting the speed cap. Just be sure to test it for specials too, not just basic attacks. Also try it with some of the slower weapons you still use.

BH missions are exercises in 1) prediction in terms of guessing where the mark is headed and attempting to cut them off 2) controlling the target to prevent them from being able to effectively damage you while hurting them in turn and 3) patience as even without the nastier bugs there's a lot of waiting in terms of droid updates and all the shuttle trips you'll be making.

As only a pure Master Pistoleers would I hit the 1 sec speed capwith myspecials? Or do you have to pick up BH pistol tree to get it?
Thanks.
