Carbineer Archive

The best new carbine IMO would be an electricity carbine.

The Devs are not going to give us kinetic (and it wouldn't offer us anything if they did) and they are not giving blast to any profession that currently doesn't have it. Stun is such a mess right now that I doubt they will give that out (and AP0 stun is useless against most PvPers). That leaves cold and electricity as the only options.

Jaim had a good point. I didn't have enough time when I posted earlier to fully think through your post. I'm sorry if I seemed to be rude. Ok lets break it down even further going from your description into what you'd be seeing in SWG,

ok

AP: Light - this is a repeater made to litter a target with a lot of blots very quickly.

Speed: I'd say some where near the snubnose.

Dmg: hmm tough one. I'd say maybe +50 to an elite carbines dmg on both ends.

Dmg Type: blast or maybe heat since the metal bullets fired at that speed would be very very hot.

Accuracy: I'd say in the negatives, however if the devs would do a little coding....burst shotswould be very accuracte however full autos would be very inaccurate.

Ham: near the elite's hams

As for the concusion rifle I say give that one to the commandos. Its a heavy weapon and not a carbine.

Nice Ideas MasterTexiria, I think the most important part about the Imperial Heavy Repeater is that it would fire yellow bolts. Im so sick of seeing red bolts. I love any weapon that adds more variety to the game.

Is this reply gona get a one star too? I have a feeling someone just doesn't like me or something.

I'd prefer Electricity or Cold. Stun is very passe` and a smart Carbineer doesn't need it. Kinetic is even more commonly resisted than the commonly resisted types we already have.

Blast or cold would be cool, as many people stated stun would not be given out, giving how hard people ride that for PvP, heat we already got, energy and acid we got in spades, electricity was a big N-O and frankly if elec is that important go pick up BH, you get fun carb specials too!

hmm maybe we could get the carbinite (sp?) from JK2:MOTS that could do cold dmg though bhs would throw a fit I'm sure.

I would want this one. No doubt.

Anything that can do at least 5% damage to a nightsister would be fine by me

Cold would be cool, the Krayt-killer carbine.

But personally I'd most of all want to see a electricity carbine. Chances of that is slim though... IIRC electricity at the moment is limited to two heavy weapons the LLC and the commando thingie I've never seen in use.

That's more restricted than Kinetic. (remember striker pistol and Tusken Kings Rifle)

Cold on the other hand... hm that's just the SG-88, right? The games most elusive damage it is then. Wonder what we have the biggest chance of getting? My money is on a new Energy Carbine.
