Trebal, I am right on the same page with you, mate. Since I got to MBH and found out it was gimped because someone forgot to put the "Mortal Kombat Online" subtitle on the box under "Star Wars Galaxies", I've stuck with my ranged template, anyway. There were days that I almost regretted it, but not enough to make me change. Same thing now, post CU and post Pub. 20. MBH/Master Carbineer, and anything along with it that will compliment those two skillsets. I refuse to compromise. I say "Keep your style, buddy. If you find youre style is not inherently as strong as someone else's FOTM template, find a way to make yourself as good anyhow." Being a bounty hunter is all about being resourceful.



You can run...
But you'll only die tired.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone's not after you.

I have always been about looks.. hell most of the time I only wear half armor, and half clothes cause it looks better... I still do fine... Dont worry.. im sure us Pistoleers will get some love soon... then we shall laugh at the FoTM BH/Rifleman

I am also a Pistoleer. I carry the nicest scatter and go after Jedi that are within my fighting range. Not Knights because Knights destroy me. They take me apart.


I REFUSE to respec myself into the perfect jedi killing templete. I just won't do it. I knowI could be better but Im a Pistols guy. I have been that wayfor over a year now. I know everything about them and I will never leave them.


Who here is with me? Being a BH is not always about power. Its about the way you get the job done and the way you look doin it. Pub 20 Is just not going to be good for me, thats obvious. But I will work through it. Who agrees?






I completely agree. Same about cybernetic arms: they may had something to your combat skills, but they just look AWFUL and RIDICULOUS. This is why I don't use the one I have, even if it could help me in being a stronger fighter.


I prefer keeping my character's integrity to being an uber combatant, and the consequence is that I adapt the difficulty of my missions by avoiding missions above 200k, since I know I can not complete them. Publish 20 will remove this freedom of choice.







I agree with the style thing, but I kinda like the idea of one cybernetic arm even without a skill bonus. I would like to wear one for a roleplaying subject that I could add to my bio, but I'm not willing to give up my really good Ubese armor (which I had envisioned my character wearing from the beginning)to wear it (how stupid is it that I cant wear both?). And I'd add that my character's integrity has to remain intact; meaning I cant compromise my character/ bio to make him stronger or I'll lose interest in the character and wont wanna play any more.

yeah I always pay more attention to the looks rather than the effectivness, that's why I prefer an advanced laser rifle over T21.

I totally agree. Style and Tactics > Power, and of course, exploits. The most fun I had recently was stalking a 225k Jedi. In a straight up fight, I'd lose... my weapon is less than 500 modified dps, and I don't wear armour. But I stalked this person for 4 hours until he slipped up and let his health drop to about 600. I have no desire to be teh uber or have the best pvp template - just to have fun and a challenge

Say no to the chassis dealer. He may seem like a good guy but that greedy Bothan sonuvabitch will rob you of your pride and your dignity

+1 for BH pistoleers! For the fun of it, during the post CU free respecs, I have gone to MR,MP and BH4000. It's fun, and I like the rifles, but I can never give up my pistols, not only b/c my character's name is ro-land deschain, but b/c I love the little guns. Since I'll have to use my token respec (thank God I still have it) to go MBH now, I guess I'll drop the powerhouse rifles again. Oh well. They are nice. But i love my DE10. que sera...
