Someone has this for sale on my galaxy trade. How is this possible?
I think the current offer is 2M, with that low damage though I don't see the point.
But for curiousity sake, how would this be done?
Here are the DPS stats for that weapon without a PU (assuming it is a 16% Min/32% Max Damage PU). I allways compare my weapons without PUs for consistancy purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speed: 100+ (i.e. BHs)
Max DPS Special: Crippling shot, 2760 DPS
Target w/No Armor, PvE: 4312.50 DPS
Target w/ Light Armor, PvP: 862.50 DPS
Target w/ Light Armor and Ranged Mit 3: 402.66 DPS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speed:85
Max DPS Special: FAS2,1587.45 DPS (Crippling Shot = 1.88s Reload @ 1472 DPS)
Target w/No Armor, PvE:2480.39 DPS
Target w/ Light Armor, PvP:496.08 DPS
Target w/ Light Armor and Ranged Mit 3:315.81 DPS

Conclusion:
It's not worth millions in my book.Granted, it has a great HAM cost and the damage numbers are nice (it would takeabout a +90 tissue and a 28% damage slice to equal that damage with a player crafted laser, or a +65 tissue and a 32% damage slice), but the condition is so low that I'll break that thing in less than a few weeks of heavy PvP. Against ranged mitigation3, I allready have a DXR6 that out performs this laser. It would be quite easy with good tissues and a good slice to better this laser.
The 5.0 speed makes it usefull to only Bounty Hunters, and is a killer to any carbineer with +85 speed or lower. A non-BH carbineer (even one with +25 in SEAs) should never even consider buying this carbine. I have 3 Krayt weapons (a laser, an elite, and a DXR6) that all out perform this looted laser in EVERY DPS category.
Personally, with the current weapons I allready have, I wouldn't pay more than 100k for this laser.

Your numbers are confusing me Eisman....
Without PU I get40/684 damage and subtracting a 30% damage slice (thought this was the max, maybe 35% is) it becomes 31-526 damage. Now a basic crafted Laser is around 50-300 damage and you can add some for components besides the Krayt Tissue....not sure as it has been so long since I got a "basic" Carbine. But even if you could add Stocks/Scopes to get to 100-350 damage, you still need a +176 Krayt Tissue to equal the max damage of this Loot Laser Carbine.
Or maybe I am missing something.....I have been in "outer space" in JTL
Yeah, I messed those numbers up (just the ones about tissues and slices, the DPS numbers are still correct). Like I told TA in game, I confused the 2.7 speed on my lasser for a speed slice, when in actuallity I used a FF stock on it. Thus, this ups the value of the looted laser a bit for a BH, yet the fact still remains... in the hands of a non-FS, non-BH carbineer, this carbine is pure crap. Buyer beware, and know your stuff before slobbering over the max damage.

Probably a Loot Carbine with that low of HAM.
Or you can get close to that with 150+ damage Krayt Tissues.....I calculated this at one time and with a powerup 900 max is possible.
If I was a BH with their speed, I would drop 3-4 mil on this easy
on my server thatd go for 10 probably..maybe more depending on condition
