Thread: Stocked Carbines, a new trend?
At which point the whole idea is using FAS2 or Crippling shot exclusively [okay some Action Shot 1/2, occasionally Legshot2, FAA2, etc, but always a special].
thus the extra mind costs nobody cares about, but the benefits of a stock are without doubt.
(you dont get the visual effects if the gun comes out of a crate)

Nova, you are always welcome to shop. I am not sure if I have not got any new sliced carbines since your last visit though. What are you looking for? Could get a crate sliced.
I thinK i will also do some small stocks of accuracy modded carbines. Think some DH17 and some E11, not sure about the Laser though. Speed suck on the Laser so you would need to have 90 speed skill to fire at speed cap. But it might be useful against Jedis (even if Jedi block has nothing to do with accuracy, but might let you hit more often when kiting) for a BH/Carbineer with enough speed

Not looking for anything special though I am always on the lookout for nice DXR6s. Especially with stocks, scopes and damage-sliced. Always happy to pay a premium for high % damage slices.
I am not very convinced accuacy helps with landing the states but if you cannot hit you cannot land the states. Therefore,high accuracy helps land states but just not in the direct way many people think. If you are going to stock accuracy carbines, I'd recommend the enhanced E11 since it is a fast gun and you get the bonus of slapping a health bleed on the target while you are trying to apply whatever state you are after. One thing though, such carbines will clearly be a niche market. I'd buy them just for dealing with certain defense stacked templates (I prefer tg. I don't know if the average SWG player will understand. On the otherhand, those accuracy carbines will be awesome for leveling carbines since usually accuracy is a big problem. But again, not sure the average player will understand the subtilty.
The 3 guns I carry for PvP are that accuracy E11 you made me (its almost worn out of charges so I'll be in the market soon for another, especially damage-sliced , a stocked/scoped DXR6 with 192 min damage and a stock/scope laser you made with 423 max damage. If you can do better than these, I'll bring my check book

I use stocks, scopes, etc because they look good and make the gun very unique from everyone eles'. You get them at 1/1/1 or 0/0/0 HAM.
You realize that only you can see the stocks and scopes? Stocks and scopes only show up to the person holding the weapon.
There is a graphical bug.
They all have stocks and scopes too, you just cannot see them.

The one reasone why something might be stocked and scoped but you cant see them is factory made. When a gun is made in the factory the stocks and scopes are there but they arent visible. Only hand crafted guns show the stocks and scopes. Or at least this is what i was told by my guild weaponsmith.
Not entirely true.....I tested this just a couple weeks ago. The person I tested it with could see the stocks/scopes onceI traded it to him and then he gave it back, otherwise he couldn't see it.
As with most bugs and fixes from SOE, it is not 100% all the time so there are some cases where non-factory show and don't show.
BTW, my guns were Imp FF Stocks with crafted Adv. Scopes and Krayt Tissue.
