Counterattack is supposed to be an "unblockable attack" can you imagine if everytime a carbineer counterattacked it actually worked and went past saberblock? Oh I can't wait for the combat upgrade to take effect. /cheer. Im going to laugh so hard at the jedi (/apoligizes to any jedi reading this, /informs them hes going to hunt them down later while ingame. )

But.. in order to Counterattack, you'd have to get hit with something.. and logically speaking, a ranged bolt (since melee attacks do bypass saber-blocks.)
And that would mean that Jedi would have to shoot at you with Ranged attacks? I'm a bit confused as to what you are hoping would bypass saberblock. A defensive mod like Block/CounterAttack/Dodge is independant of a Jedi's saber-block.

let me give you a scenerio.
but first. A counterattack is a defensive offensive mod. It is supposed to be an unblockable attack, meaning if someone attacks us, WE counterattack it. Thus we hit them with an unblockable attack.
Jedi equips saber
I equip ee3 carbine
jedi throws saber but i counterattack for 90points of damage!
Jedi hits you with saberthrow2 for 2000 points of damage!
jedi hits you with saberthrow for 1000points of damamge!
You shoot at jedi with kneecap shot but miss!
you shoot at jedi with kneecap shot but miss!
you shoot at jedi with legshot but he blocks the attack!
Jedi uses saberthrow for 1000 points of damage but you counterattack for 50points of damage
thus bypassing a bit of their blocking

Ah, I gotcha.
Yeah.. I see your point about how CounterAttack should be more useful than it actually is. Could be fun.

Unfortunately you can't base the resultant action of a Specialon the in-game description.....just like Fire KnockDown has nothing to do with FIRE, Counterattack doesn't have to be an unblockable attack returned.
As you have pointed out, it would probably be too powerful and we all know any little thing that MIGHT hurt the Jedi is immediately nerfed....

Have you been spending time in the BH forums? Cuz you're starting to sound like one. (trust me, it's not a bad thing)

Do you think only BH's have to deal with SOE's baby, Jedi? And remember I am a Corr that likes to be involved in everything

By the way, I've noticed counterattack (as an otherwise defensless Carbineer/BH) works ALOT, like 35-50% of the time against jedi.

No friggin kidding. Keep that on the down low. We don't want our last line of defense taken away.
