I was in the ackie cave the other day looking for the +5 ranged def rings. The cave was all mine for a few spawns and i was happy. Then i see the blue dot comming in...grr heh. I notice that he is using a flame thrower...
The next spawn hits and we get about 10 of the buggers to pop. I bust out my FAA2 attacks and start racking up the damage on them. Turns out i got all the loot rights. Then the good spawn hit in the last room...the one with the harder mobs. We both rush in and he even gets the first shot off as i was bussy looting the bodies. Still i crank out FAA2. I win loot rights again hehe. Then we start to talk.
him "**edit** how come i cant loot these"
me "im out damaging you"
him "But your using a carbing"
me "you must be missing"
him "but my flamethrower does 1k damage"
me /shrug "sorry man"
He left...had he ben a reble i would have offered him a belt or robe i had gotten recently but meh.
/cheer for carbineers :0) Were not as bad as people like to think

I usually win loot rights at Fort Tusken or the Geonosian cave unless there's an organized group or someone's hitting the targets with the AoE bug. Firing 6000+ damage crippling shots on the speed cap and never missing tends to do that.
Great job though! I camped that cave long enough to get two rings and I never want to see the inside of it again. It always sucked to see a blue dot come on the radar right before a respawn. Was nice to outdo the Bruce Lee wannabes and send them packing though.

hehe, nice. 
I went into the Warren for the first time last week. ("The Warren? Hello and welcome to 3 months ago!" I know, I'm a slacker.) I was laying the smackdown with FAA2 on the groups of Imps & Teraud Loyalists & cyborg huurtons, too.

You know what you need is a macro...
Name it AutoLoot and stick it anywhere in your toolbar:
/loot
/macro AutoLoot
You might want to throw in a "/pause 1" in there, but many times you can get the loot quickly without having to do it manually and wait as soon as the targetted MOB dies. I use one that is like this:
AutoHarvest
-----------
/harvest hide (or bone, meat)
/loot
/pause 1
/macro AutoHarvest
This macro helps on those Krayt hunts or Fambaa's so I can get both the loot and resources.
I also have a macro in my toolbar called "DUMP!!!" that stops any running Macro; it has just one line in it: /dump
Anywho...good job on outdamaging the Flamer...a lot of people underestimate the Carbineer...they don't realize that Carbines are powerful weapons...what makes the Carbineer weak has been the broken specials and ham costs...and half the problem will be fixed soon.
I dueled a swordsman not too long ago and beat him with a DH17 Shorty and a Laser Carbine. I hit him with a /chargeshot with the DH17 then switched weapons and hit him with /crippleshot...after that it was a matter of kiting and spamming /fullAutoSingle (for the stun/blind effect) and /scatterShot2...with a quick stop occasionally to hit him with a /chargeShot or /actionShot2 (posture down) to keep him honest.

Yeh i got a loot command mixed in on one of my specials. Thought about looping one but the sound bothers me and if im using aoe attacks it will only loot my target. And most of the time im not close enough to loot wen they die. I have my action shot 2 macroed to loot all harvist meat and deathblow lol. Yeh wen i actualy use the command it spams me a bit but it frees up a lot more hotkeys.
