Having just mastered carbines and gotten the bh carbine line a few days ago I thought I'd go pay a visit to Yavin 4 and see if I could dig up some BH armour, so here I am buffed up to hell and back hitting them with crippling shots every second when a master rifleman turns up and proceeds to kill off everything I'm fighting. Now here's the problem .. I can't compete with rifleman for damage so basically everything I was killing he got looting rights for, this proceeds to happen for a few more minutes before I get fed up and sod off. So not only am I fairly useless in pvp against every one but people with poor knock down defence I also can't PvE because everyone can out damage me despite a decent laser carbine and high rate of fire. Any advice on getting around this?

Unfortunately you have to wait until the Combat Revamp, there is nothing you can do for now.....sorry.

Yup, then the story will be different as we sit back and watch them get rag-dolled by anything bigger than a kreetle /chuckle

I was a Carbineer before I was a Rifleman. I must say that I am not very optimistic about the combat balance. Thunderheart even said that the purpose of the combat balance was not actually to "balance" all the classes against each other in combat, rather the classes would be balanced so that everyone would have a unique role to play. They may balance rifle speed so that going from 90 to 97 rifle speed won't triple your DPS with the most powerful shot but other than that, things will still be very unbalanced when it comes to looting rights. The only medium armor piecing weapon that Carbineers have is the laser carbine and a good one is around 100-500 points of damage. The T-21 is heavy armor piercing and a good one is about 200-600 points of damage. The laser carbine would have to do much more damage than the T-21 to even negate its heavy armor piercing to win in loot rights.
