Heya im on Tarquinas-Tattoine-Bestine at the moment and have a E11. I just qualified for a Laser Carbine but can I find one.. not a sausage! Does someone know where I can get hold of one? If so can you send a ingame email to "man-train"


Pretty please!

Your carbine with the increased speed will pump out more dmg in a fight. Let's call your weapons A and B. A is the carbine with 2.5 speed and B is the weapon with 3.5 speed.


The avg dmg/shot of weapon A is 103.


The avg dmg/shot of weapon B is 128.5.



Now we figure in the speed factors:


For carbine A 103/2.5 = 41.2 dmg/sec


For carbine B 128.5/3.5 = 36.7 dmg/sec


That's 4.5 more dmg/sec. Doesn't seem like much until your party walks into a lair of mountain squills and thefight lasts about 6 minutes. In that case, weapon a would do 4.5 * 60 * 6 or 1620 more dmg.

The type of fighting you are doing also needs to be taken into consideration. For instance, for leveling I use a 228 damage laser carbine with 5 sec. attack speed. The reason I use it, is that every 3rd shot or so will hit for 800+. So I run up to a group mobs and fire (3) AOE DOT's. One of them usually hits 800+. Then the DOT will tick 800+ over the next 2 min. If you add it up that is enough damage to drop a 5,000 hp mob in only 3 shots. So for damage vs. time to get XP it is my fastest gun eventhough I have others with more damage/sec.

Man, this is pathetic. I have a pistol that does more damage, is faster, and has way lower HAM costs than the best carbines. I can spam special moves untill the cows come home with that thing. With a carbine I'm half dead after an encounter where I never take a single hit.

streg...maybe on paper they seem to be weak due to speed and HAM but once you get burst shot for 1200+ damage you will see how powerful we really are.


Laser carbine


18-218


3.6 speed sliced


bla blah blah bla

its all that matters. What are the stats on an imperial E-11 you get with faction points?

MadBarbarian:


I don't know if they have changed or not recently, but I am pretty sure the E11 from the perks officer is as follows:


40 - 80 damage, 4.0 speed.
