that said the proton carb is nice and i do kind of like the clone carb from boba fet as it is the only weap ive seen that fires a blue laser......would be nice if they let ws change things like that (or smugglers) after all ship weapons can be changed i think
Nope, ship weapon effectscan't be changed. We can craft either red or green blasters. The only time the beam type/color comes into play is when reverse engineering. The RE'd weapons will have the look of the first weapon we put into the RE tool.

I have a proton now, its sliced for lvl 3 damage and lvl 1 speed/critical hit. With a pup it has 1080 max dmg which hits nice, but the SAC remains at 85 which is too high for the speed i can fire it even fully action buffed. If you add even a small SAC pup, the accuracy takes a big hit since it starts with zero accuracy bonus, so you end up with -10 to -20 accuracy or worse.
If you can get 4 high (170ish) kryat tissues theres no question, go for an E11 MKII. Have the WS cap it on SAC (should be 73 I think) and damage (1065) . You then have the option of slicing for speed (since most points would have been spent on damage and SAC the speed will be a little high) or if you feel you fire it fast enough with a 2.5 base speed (thats the area it will come out at) you can add some critical hit slices.

I have finally got a anti decay kit trying to decide which of these Carbs is best for pvp an all. I know the proton is a viable weapon as are all 3 however with the best slice possible on each of the 3 an the proper PUP which one should I use the kit on? I like the skill mods on the greivous so leaning towards it but any input? Which would be the best slice per gun?
with a good set of tissues you can easily surpass the stats on both of the loot weapons you mentioned. My elite is 431-1062 dmg and a sac of 82, with a 12% speed slice it has a base dps of 375 and a mod dps of 575. using a sac pup to get the sac down to 67. if I put a speed pup on it the dps is 887 and I fire 1 time every second according to the combat log. so I assume that means I am speed capped or darn close to it.
I don't recommend the Grievous Striker since it has high SAC cost for a Carbine. Not worth the extra range cost, considering Carbineers have the potential for very fast attacks.
As others have stated on the thread already, a well made Elite or E11 Mk.II Carbine easily surpasses these loot / reward Carbines.
However, to get a top of the line one of these crafted Carbines, it WILL cost you alot of credits.
With this in mind, the Proton Carbine is a very viable Carbine to have as your primary Energy Carbine. Why?
+ The quest to get it is VERY easy and quick.
+ If you have some money to burn, a Proton Carbine can be purchased relatively "cheap" nowadays.
+ The stats of the Proton are still respectable. Good overall damage and decent SAC. The only big negative is a lack of an Accuracy Bonus.
+ Not expensive like a top-of-the-line E11 Mk.II or Elite Carbine.
"If they can be fooled, they can be killed." my striker is 688-1201 sliced and puped....just for something to go by. Plus the 10 acc and melee def.
*and I also never have a prollum with sac...i think mine is(100*). And I'm very fast firing every second only skipping a second every 3-4 shots.
