I agree that stun damage is overrated and isn't the endgame that some people make it out to be, buton any "prepared soldier" as you put it jumbo, you aren't really going to do crap with any other weapon either. With something like an AP1 carbine, similar damage to a geo blaster you could break an imp PSG pretty damn quick spamming scatter 2 or cripplingshot and get some serious hurt in before they can equip a new one. I've had it happen before when facing a BH/smuggler/pistoleer spamming last ditch with a well made geo blaster.
That said...
I'd much rather see the option that nova suggested in an AP2 DXR6, which would do better damage in PvP (and would be an immessurable help in PvE) and would keep all of the idiot "stun is god" FOTMers out of carbineer.

Cant help but agree with everyone saying stun is useless. Our best PVP weapon isnt going to get too much better without AP2, since acid is the best PVP damage around, and the one we're most likely to be given more of, or at least a boost to.

If i could pick something..
i'd also take the E11 with the stunn effect/sound from the movie..
i don't care about stats or damage type.. i just want the effect/sound.. i think it'd be neat to shoot 'blue stuff'..

It would seem that TAhawk is the only one really with this. We don't need anything. Comp armor and buffs need to be fixed.Seems that that best geared win all the time. Barely any strategy when PvPing. Spam Crippling shot..... There is not much else besides that. You can land states and stuff. Doesn't make much difference. Everytime I KD someone, they stand right back up. Trying to land a dizzy is out of the question. I disagree with food and doc buffs. NO ONE, not even a jedi, should be able to solo a Krayt. When you see a Non Master Pistoleer solo one, it makes you just want to quit the game. If we had more strategic armor and didn't have everyone running around in comp, it would be awesome. Also no armor should go over 60% in my opinion. If we had some better specials, that would help. A bunch of them are useless and expensive. I don't want to take BH because I'm a Carbineer and CM. There shouldn't be a reason why I can't kick a$$ because I don't have BH line of carbines. No new blasters, new armor pieces that specialize in things. Wookies complain about the armor even though they start off with better stats, and BAM they get awesome armor. The devs are lazy and don't really listen to the majority of the players. And as for makiing the games like the movies, they ruined that when they said there would be jedi in the game. There are about 400 active jedi on my server alone. I only remember Vader, Obi-Wan, Luke, and Yoda in the movies. I think they even said Jedis were non existant besides them. Haven't watched the movies in awhile. If this game was set in the time from of Knights of the Old Rebublic, then it would be accurate.

This is after A New Hope, so Obi-Wan is alreay dead. So onl y3 Jedi around.
As for more guns, it is simply because we have fewer guns than the other 2 ranged professions. If I remember from one of the official sticky's/ vision statement, we only have 8 vs 14 for each of pistoleer and rifle.
I've forgot what other BS you posted and its too hard on my eyes to try and read it again. So whatever else you said, its probably wrong.

I am by far the only person that "gets" this.....but I tend to strongly voice my opinion 
It has been a few months, but I composed a nice starting list of things to balance the GAME, not just Carbineer......but that is over 1,000 posts ago so it is not easy to find 
Of course nobody at SOE listens to me, so no big rush to find it or make a new one.

Right now, a blast damage carbine. Kinda a shotgun type deal.
Need it against those 300k ham turrets... Imagine how much carbineers would be needed on base raids now, cripple shot with blast against those turrets = bye bye turret.

Cant be a "light repeater" of any kind. The T21 is a "light repeater". The slashed down version of the M60 that navy SEALs use would be a light repeater. One person instead of crew served.
New carbine?
Scatter carbine- light the scatter pistol only bigger. Can partial bypass LS (which the pistol ought to be doing).
Freeze carbine- SG-82 is sooo limited on what it can be used against with any effectiveness but yet there are still a select few mobs that are resistant to cold.
Boosted "elite carbine"- Its pretty sad when I choose an easier to make standard or krayt snub nosed DH-17 or a laser rifle over what we get at novice due to HAM and ease to make. Only real difference is AP1. Putting the average elite up into the 300 damage category without enhancements would be a big help in PvP and PvE. Remember I said "average".
Kinetic would be nice vs. NS but I hunt singing mountain clan since they ALL have energy resists and drop the same loot. Not much other reason to want kinetic. And NS are overrated.....
Boosted "E-11" -in the point of the timeline the E-11 is one of the most sought after carbines in the galaxy. Its range and firepower are so balanced out compared to other carbines and is a big reason the Empire supplies it to all stormtroopers. Even rebels loved this weapon until it later on when they came out with their own cloned "version" of it.
