I am not sure I understand your argument. Are you saying that that a carbine is not a submachine gun because of the type of ammo used? Or are you saying that it is not one due to some other reasons?

Thanks for your comments. I needed to understand your reasoning behind the smaller group of eight. Could you give me some of your thoughts on that please? I wanted you to keep in mind that I have left out some information to protect my plan but your input is most valued and will be considered carefully and seriously.
I wanted to take the time to thank those that have sent suggestions to me in PM’s. Your support and ideas are wonderful, amusing, and devastating!!!! You have been underused for to long and that is about to change. I put up a public notice to all!!! We will change everything. We will cause new rules to be written once we are done. All your bases are us!!!!!

/raises hand in agreement
Until then I favor using the imbalance to blow the opposition out of the water in group engagements. Then after the balance I look forward to blowing the opposition out of the water using better tactics.

Carbiners were infact scaled down rilfes..
Napoleon and Britan wanted their Calavary to use guns but they had trouble carrying those huge rilfes so they used a basically half sized rilfe *which was a carbine* then the most popular Carbines later on in History were the
M18, M40, Tommy Gun or Thompson and the ppsh. Which in their times excelled at Urban combat but did poorly on the field.

Since I don't use specials much unbuffed I often do mission Calavary style on my dewback when I do missions that don't quite require buffs. Although I recommend accuracy while moving skill attachments when doing in Storm Troopers they seem to run like little girls.

I am starting to wonder what all this had to do with A Galaxy Far Far Away.....

LMAO. They must be talking about a galaxy farther, farther away than Gorath, because I've seen more civil war in Canada thanthat which I've seen on Gorath.

I really have no argument with your comments on the GCW. It seems even on the most hardcore PvP servers that everyone is distracted by this or that. Very few players can get enough support to participate in the GCW if they are interested. What do you think is the reason for this? I am very interested in your opinion.
It's really quite simple... The PvP system in SWG is down right horrible, and even after many attempts to fix it, SOE keeps coming up short.

But do you think that it is so broken that it can not be salvaged?

Given the fact that we are sitting at 16 months after launch and it is still horrible, yes. I'll tell you my biggest reason why as well... Games evolve. Technology evolves. Over one year later, there are new games coming out that are made with better technology. Why should anyone stick around and keep playing a game that is notoriously bad in the PvP area if they consider PvP the end-game content and make it their ultimate goal? I for one am not going to. For those that shun me for "not sticking it out" or "giving up," you are very wrong. I have stuck it out. I am not giving up on SWG. I am not bitter about the game (though I would have been much happier if changes we were told were going to take place last January actually did). I am simply evolving into the next game I plan on playing for the next year to come.
If I touch an electric fence, I get zapped. If I touch the fence again, I get zapped again. Sooner or later, I am going to learn not to touch the fence. So, rather than try and climb over the electric fence SOE likes to call a core game system (which is the REAL reason there is no balance in the game) and try to get to the other side (a balanced game), I am simply walking away. My coarse now has a new heading.

That is why the devs are creating a whole NEW combat system. Like one of the corr's used the analogy of a rusty old shed, instead of repairing it, it was much more effective to tear it down and make a new one.
