Thread: Why do elite carbines suck?
Laser carbines did rock 
. I had a few sliced nice.
67-300, 2.6 Speed.
101-379 3.9 Speed.
On Tarquinas Laser Carbines before slice and no powerups ar 49-280.
Elites are 100-200 range.
DXR6 runs 130-210
EE3 runs 110-190
However, now with the addition of damage mitigation, elites and DXR-6's just got a bit of a boost while the lasers took a bit of a hit. Of course, that's only in PvP, but that seems to be the case.
I use2 carbines: Elite andEE-3
The Elite got a speed slice and now is 2.6 or 2.7 and his damage without powerup is something like 110-197 or so close to that.
The EE-3 without slice is speed 2.7 dmg 87 and the max dmg near 190.
Both are so good weapons, the best thing u can do is to use the elite at 40m. range and the EE-3 27m. range and u will see how good they work.
About laser carbine, i see that near almost all people are using it except the few master carbineers i saw that used normally a dh17snubnose ( krayt ) that is a godly weapon.
The best a carbineer can do is to have 2 or 4 different carbines and use ´em depending the situation.
Anyway the elite carbine should be better, maybe a stun damage instead of energy will be the key
