with the template I have decided on I have 4 points left over that I can throw into FS skills.
my speed before FS would be +120 and +132 after FS skills
or
Accuracy +230 and +242 after FS skills.
what do you think I should do? I cant decide. thanks for any input.

Accuracy > speed.
If you spend more time hitting what you shoot, then the target takes more damage overall.

At 120 speed you're set, 12 extra pts will NOTmake any visible difference (tested). Accuracy is critical, especially since so many jedi are defenders and you'll find yourself miss quite a lot. Even if speed made any difference, it would onlydrain your action even faster with that AC on your scatter.

Any accuracy over the target's defense causes a damage bonus for you. (120 ranged def vs 125 ranged accuracy gives bonus when using a gun) That said...there are templates out there that go specifically for this feature as it's quite possible to reach large numbers with a little template design and research.

Without going into much detail .. I calculated my template ( MBH + MC + SL 0404 = Accuracy of 255 base using carbines) in a group with my droid vs a CL79 NPC. Using various combinations of SEA's ( +25 Carbine accuracy / +23 Ranged accuracy ), SL skills ( rally +40 accuracy ), drink ( +175 accuracy ), and it all was VERY constant. It seemed VERY linear.
RESULTS:
IN ANY combination vs this CL79 ( static spawn same NPC every time ), 1 point of Accuracy = .38 damage ( give or take .01 )
Example: when I used the drink that gave +175 accuracy it yeilded an additional +66 damage.
It changed slightly when I tested it vs a CL78 (again same consistant respawn of the SAME CL78 NPC) using the same accuracy mods above = .4 damage per accuracy point. Reguardless of how high I stacked accuracy it was always the same .4 damage per point of accuracy.
I'm not a math whiz. So i'm sure this method will not meet some kind of testing "rules". However, it seems that you will do a set amount of damage per point of accuracy based on the difference in defensive value vs accuracy but the defensive values are unkown. CL give us a rough guesstimate? dunno. For me the higher the accuracy does not mean stellar damage. Well, not beyond my base of 255. Who knows maybe there is a soft cap, a point of diminishing returns. Possibly after 200? Where every point before 200 yeilded ALOT more damage. Obviously the weapon can cause variances. Its alot of info.
OK... I lied a bit more detail than I wanted to snore ya with.
Hope it sheds some light ..it did for me.

Wow! 
I am not good with numbers and details. It took me forever to learn the old system, that is why I asked. I am going MBH/MP/0404SL with FS accuracy, hopefully it is fixed but I don't think it is yet. 
Thanks foryour help.
