2. I decied to pistoleer/melee defense lines in there.
3. Started pvping until reaching good rank (I hit 1645 rating alot of it from solo pvp)
4. (the part most of us long for) Getting speed/accuracy capped through skill tapes so that we can drop BH lines and go Carbineer/Doc or Carbineer/Fencer or what not.
I found many follow these patterns. Do you? And how many have hit the "final stage".
1: i was BH then went Carbineer then dropped Bh and now Im BH again lol
2: I went pistoleer for the stat defs not the melee they didnt seem to help much altho I tried it becuase I have a ton of Combat xp hehe
3: I dont pvp much and when I do its base raids/def so pvp ratin means nothing to me
4: speed tapes I havnt seen much of altho I do have a few carbine accuracy/acc while movin tapes and some basic stat def tapes
My stage is final as Im not droppin Carbineer but all the rest is supject to change hehe

Exactly my pattern, actually. Started as a BH 0400 Carbineer.. back then the SP cost for BH was higher, so I could only use Novice Medic, but had I had the SP, I would have taken the Pistol Tech line... all the while learning tactics and earning enough credits to cap out all Carbineer stats on tapes, at which point, I defense-stacked with Fencer/pistoleer.
It's really the only logical progression that is PvP-viable at this point. 
I also recommend this route for anyone who is serious about being a PvPing Carbineer. Learning our strengths are great, but learning our weaknesses by progressively dropping BH and adapting to the current state of the game (defenses and Jedi), coupling that with Carbineer..
.. well, you've got yourself a prime PvPer right there.

Ill proly switch to the pistol tech line now that i see the melee mitigation2 dussnt really help too much heh.
by the by... whea do acc and speed cap?
Addy, havent gotten tha chance t'fight yew yet... Soon enuff im sure.
I'd definitely recommend switching to Pistol Tech in this instance. State defenses in the 40s and 50s are better than Ranged/Melee defense in that region.
A 4.0 speed Carbine caps at 90 Carbine Speed.. considering most if not all Carbines are in this range, you're ok with your current template. Were you to drop the BH line, it would mean getting +30 Carbine Speed in attachments / FS skills ormodifying your weapons withkrayt tissues, speed slices, speed powerups, etc.
Accuracy has no known hardcap.
I can usually be found roaming Theed or Cnet.. or just shoot me a tell in-game if you ever want to set up a formal duel. I'm delighted to see another Carbineer on our server, heh.

Duelin I hate heh, but ill have a go atcha jus t'see whea m'skills are at vs one of the top carbineers on SS. I still think Uncrow has tha top seat in that class tho heh, havent beaten him once...

Uncrow is definitely one of- if not the -best BH/Carbineers on Starsider. He has some pretty sick Carbines, and it's amazing to see how well he makes MBH/M. carbs work for him.
We dueled using Carbines only and no DoTs.. and after about 10 minutes.. we called it quits at a stalemate, heh. I can't say how it would have turned out if we'd used DoTs (he also has some pretty nice ones), or if I had used a Stun Baton against him.
He's primarily a Jedi-hunter though.. which is why he hasn't dropped BH to pick up some defenses in order to be more PvP-viable.
