Carbineer Archive

Well... carbineers ( correct me if I'm wrong here ) only have acid, heat, energy damage types.

Pistoleers on the other hand ( albeit another fubar profession ) does have stun, acid, kinetic, heat, energy, and isn't there even a cold pistol?

What I'd honestly love to see is a stun carbine with very low damage... to kinda balance it out.

I could see a stun carbine with like 4.0 sp and 90-190 or so damage. Or even a lil higher, maybe 110-220 or so...

retired Master carbineer here, i was just taking a look in here for old times sake and saw this thread. TA is right the diffrent dm types subject has been beatin' to a level passed death. To throw my 2 credits worth in real quick.

Dont worry about the damage types right now, wait untill after the Combat Upgrade/revamp/whatever and see how things are then and afterwards decide on what would be best for this prof.
I can understand the points about the Sluge thrower using projectile munitions and thusly being classified as a kin dm weapon BUT right now it would be pointless to have: 80%-90% kin resist armor and buffs would turn it into a bb gun.

All I'm suggesting is that you leave the subject alone and their for keep your options open for after the upgrade so you wont get stuck with a dm type that might be worthless in the end.

I think the only thing to be a less chance of happening than a Kinetic Carbine......a Stun Carbine.....

The Stun Carbine Horse has been rezzed and beaten so often it should be groggy for about a year.....

Well, TA. Could you then please ask in the Corr. forum why the Devs have decided that we don't deserve the same variety in dmg types as the other ranged professions?

It's not because of our speed is it?

Maybe our DPS?

Not much point in asking WHY to them....it won't change a thing.

I am pushing to get one of our current weapons changed before the CU, but that isn't very likely.....so you will just have to wait until the CU hits TC to see all the changes, sorry.

Or if you get into the closed beta you could see the stuff, but the NDA will still be in place until it hits TC.

as far as another damage type, stun or kinetic just doesnt seem achievable as has been said. but what would be cool is either a cold or electricity type... but heh we can all be dreamers right?

You should check out the FAQ for the link to the Carbineer Issues and Status thread......I have asked the Devs for another damage type via the Nym's Slugthrower

You can always dream heh. But it's not going to happen, because one profession can't have all damage types. They even took away riflemans kinetic damage weapon (the tusken rifle) and changed it to energy.

We still dont have stun my friend

It would boil down like this. The devs would tell you they aren't going to devote any energy to any combat profession outside the CU at this time. Then they'd tell you that post CU, you'll be better off than you are now regarding everything. And thats about the only answer anyone is gonna get out of them that they could communicate to us.

They aren't saying anything because they don't want the feedback right now. When they are ready for public feedback, you'll be able to see whats up.

And as our correspondant has said in many more words, FAT CHANCE! If you go and buy some decent stun armor you'll realize just how sucky it is.

Hey TA, whats up with asking for a damage type change through the slugthrower. You're supposed to get it turned into a schematic first THEN ask for a new damage type. Then again, forget damage types. Either get the slugthrower or maybe even the elite some AP2. If theyswitched the AP2 off of the laser carbine to another weapon I wouldn't shed a tear.
