Carbineer Archive

Hi folks,

I am interested in providing some specialized carbines for the carbineers in my galaxy and need your ideas and suggestions. Is there a particular configuration for a gun that you've seen or would like to see? Any carbines that could be specialized to a particular creature or opponent? How about PvP, What carbine works best for PvP?

Any and all ideas and suggestions are welcome. If you have ideas with our without looted components, that's great. Any input is much appreciated, thanks!

Carbineers really have alot of speed issues, even at Master Carbineer with the highest amount of carbine speed enhancements (+25)we still need a 2.7 speed weapon to hit our 1.0 speed cap. So to cater directly to carbineers you should focus on lowering weapon speed as much as possible. That being said however, i am willing to wager that there are as many BH/Carbineers hybrids out there as there are Master Carbineer's with no BH supplements. And about 50% of the pure carbineers are unaware of the speed issues.

Probably the most in demand weapon is a Laser Carbine with an Adv. Stock with most players strictly looking for damage. This weapon is the primary choice for almost all players that use carbines. Most of the WS on radiant have both a stocked (damage) and an unstocked (speed) variant available for sale.

DXR-6's and Elites are probably the next most popular variants available. These will mostly be for PvP use, so if there is anyway you can enhance the min damage, try and do that. Again the models with scopes and adv. stocks are going to be more popular because of the higher looking damage. Against stocked and unstocked variants are reccomended with an emphasis on the stocked.

EE3's are also something a lot of carbineers look for since it is one of the few weapons in the game, and the only weapon available to carbineers, that does heat damage. I probably wouldn't bother with non-stocked version as these weapons are fast compared to other carbines.

Another weapon which is nice to have available is the Enhanced E-11. I understand you asked for no loot weapons, but they don't require any special components only a limited-use schematic, which are a dime a dozen on most servers, you can likely find schematics on the bazaar. They are basically the same weapon as an E-11, but come with a built in health bleed.

Also on the topic of loot items, i think carbineers are the prof that benefits the most from the Form-fitting stocks from the imperial retreat, so you may want to keep that in mind if you ever decide to sell carbines made with lootable components.

One of the best weaponsmiths on Starsider makes Laser Carbines with the following:

4 Base Krayt Tissues (30, -0.3)

1 Imperial Form-fitting Stock (from themepark)

1 Advanced Scope

w/ experimentation on condition (since people tend to powerup these with a 33% max pup.)

These weapons usually end up being in the 2.7 to 2.8 range with about 340ish max damage, and trust me, they sell like hot cakes, regardless of their price (she puts em at 800k a piece.)

This is probably the 'simplest' PvP krayt Carbine a pure Carbineer looks for.

How about some more "hand-made" carbines. I love those hand-made carbines. lol

Master Carbineer/BH

always a good idea, the hand-made carbines are some of the best looking guns in the game
