Hi There!
I am Nikeleye, I have been a Carbineer for a while now, it being my only Combat profession, I am 0301 at the monet and was wondering about a few things I have read on this forum...
1) How do we inflict states? Is it a random roll from using specials or is it commands we get granted at high end Carbineer skill boxes?
2) What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Krayt modified Carbine?
3) Are there any speculations or hints that we will get a good amount of "revamp" in the Combat Balance?
Any help will be gratefully recieved.

I hate to sound like a broken record and mean no offense by this statement, but those answers are not simple one word responses.....but they are covered in the FAQ
Go Read The FAQ
But I will say we are probably the most "balanced" prof, so don't expect me to be pushing many Carbineer changes....many larger problems exist in other profs, Rifleman for example. Beyond that I am not allowed to speak about the Combat Upgrade.

Ok, I will read it, thankyou.
About the combat balance, that is probably what most of us want I should think. A more balanced game, better for all.

You would be surprised how many people DO NOT want balance....*cough*Rifleman*cough*

I think that the so called "Melee Stackers" would go this way too.
I agree with it being used for a Solid PvP character, but it should not have such an advantage over PvE myself.
Also one thing I hate(Riflemen should be with me on this one) is that when a Master Pistoleer is good, then there are those that also get the BH pistols tree and the Smuggler combat tree, this is a massive amount of Pistol Skills, where Rifles and Carbines get only one master profession (and Bh Carbs for Carbines).
You dont have to give anything away, but has this issue been discussed within the Combat Revamp community?

It had been brought up on the Pistoleer forums a few times, and the closest thing to an official Dev word regarding this issue was the concensus that most of Star Wars action revolves around Pistols in the SW Universe, and the game was hence tailored accordingly.
If you think about it, Pistols and Carbines are really the only ranged weapons you see in the movies on a regular basis.. so it's really a matter of trying to stick true to what fans are already familiar with.

"You mean...Rifleman aren't supposed to be easily speedcapped with best damage, best accuracy, best damage type, best AP in the game?"
- quote from a Rifleman friend of mine on Eclipse, he was being sarcastic, even he understands the greater issues the game faces.
