The Devs told us long ago they would not give kinetic weapons to ranged classes. Asking for what they won't give is just foolish. That is also why I suggested a name change so that players would stop being frustrated by the Nym carbine.

Asking for HAM costs were quickly eliminated because that is going to be a completely new system with Special Cost coming from a different pool or pools entirely. So yeah that is way too much to ask, lets just hope they do one or two of these things we came up with.... In fact the last two are more of the optional variety with a greater emphasis on the first 4, which are hopefully easy except maybe the Counterattack rate.
And with Doc/Musician buffs, assuming those don't change, HAM costs are ZERO anyways.....

Not to burst your bubble, but there is a ranged kinetic weapon. The Striker pistol does kinetic damage. Recently I've seen them on vendors that give upwards of 150-200 damage (some, but not allof these are presliced). I do have a pistoleer on one server that has one at 2.0 speed and 160 max damage. However, it does have an AP value of 0.

Yes we all know. It changes nothing. They are not giving kinetic ranged weapons out.

While novamarine's list of suggested fixes does sound indeed very good, it would put us Carbineers at the top of the food chain, heh. Carbineer isn't great as it is.. but assuming that all those were put in.. well, needless to say, we'd tear through any template.Not that I'd mind of course..
I think of general greater importance are Carbine Speed and Defenses. The rest doesn't bother me too much..
Keep in mind that other professions will be receiving changes as well, so even if we do get these, some other profession may get something that can be stacked with something else to create a new FOTM.

Still not going to beat an equally equiped Rifleman with a T21 firing at the same speed as ANY Carbine.....or magically clearing the CM poisons that stack every 5 seconds....
And who says we can't be FotM.....
