Oh, while I am at it....

I would support this over a new carbine

Firstly, I appologise for my slightly short post 
But iv been using carbines for 8 months, and the best carbine I have found is the EE3, the nym slugthrower is fairly weak as it cannot be crafted.
The only new gun that us carbineers have got is the Enhanced E11, which has a nice bleed attack, but we still lack a solid damaging carbine.
There are very powerful pistols, rifles, Hvy weapons, Swords and pikes, but no carbine.
The reason why the number of my posts is low, is because there are very few problems with SWG, and i think they r doing a good job 
But I feel that it is my duty to point out things which I feel should be improved. (e.g. another carbine) and i honest do not find anything 'silly' about using the forums to suggest improvements for the game.
Be positive, and consider what I have said, becuse in every carbineer's heart they feel what i do.

actually we just got a lot of help...check out the Bounty Hunter forum. With a fraction of the SP we can get loads more accuracy and speed.

/nono travenwatts;
Just to be very clear, the BH got lots of help not the carbineers. I personally am helped in no way by this change, as I do not have the SP, and I am a carbineer. Inthis helps the"I am a carbineer who dabbles is other stuff" group, which is a significant portion of the carbineer population. But this is not a *carbineer* enhancement and should not be taken as one, as a master carbineer will not feel the effects of this change (let alone a lowly 4000 carbineer 
).
).I hope the new reduction in the atrocious SP costs will help the BHs. It's just a patch until a more serious re-examination of how BH works (in regards to jedi and smuggling), but a very useful one with many repercussions (most positive).

Of course it is not directly a carbineer enhancement, butit will helpmany carbineers. For instance, the carbineers that have not spent all their money on SEAs...they can now spend a little SP in BH and get loads of speed and accuracy. Then, there is some SP left over to get some defenses where as before speed and accuracy was all we could get.
And I do know this is just a bandaid until the combat revamp.
Ihave not currently invested any points in BH, but I am seriously comtemplating it so i can stop wearing my +6 speed belt and trade it for a PSG. I haaven't added up the SP, but I know that I will get to keep pistol 0040 and will drop some of the 4440 fencer that I have. Just haven't made up my mind yet.
This is probably the most unorganized thread ever but its 5 o'clock and I am in a hurry to get out fo the office.

One problem I see with this change is that it now appears that getting 0400 (or whatever) bounty hunter is more SP effective than getting master carbineer. maybe get novice carbineer for FAS, anda hair more for FAA too... or however the SP pans out (I'm also in a hurry and haven't done the math). Actually, never mind, as to get BH you still need to master marksman so it's not as drastic as I initially thought.
However, suffice it to say, I'm somewhat concerned by the carbine skills breakdown comparing BH's with Carbineers. Even if this is a problem though, this however can (and probably will) wait for the combat revamp. And a Master Carbineer, or a Carbineer/BH could probably speak better to if this is even a problem or not.
I just hope the devs realize the implications of the SP change, as I just envisioned a new rather dangerous FotM which I won't mention here to avoid opening a can of worms...

Well I understand much better now, you are using the worst weapons a Carbineer has......geesh an EE3 and Nym's.....ICK /puke
A DXR6, Laser, and Elite are absolute must haves along with an EE3 on those rare occasions. And yes the new Enhanced E11 should be thrown into that mix. I honestly and truly feel sorry for you playing Carbineer for 8 months in such a horrible way when there are much better guns than the EE3 and Nym's for goodness sake......
And because of you are a total noob, I will "holster" the Carbineer Flamer.........for now.....
