Nice to hear from The Great Nova....even if you didn't really say anything there
I have made my picks but until Devs launch the whole thing, I'll just keep them to myself because things on their end still might change. There was a hint that 5 from each profession might be too much for their mini-server so I am not saying anything until things are 100% conrete.
I am sorry I didn't say anything but sometimes I feel I should say something, anything just so people don't think I have gone MIA.

Even Rifleman are happy to hear that "They aren't being nerfed to oblivion," the word all around is every combat class will be important, and good with what they use. A true concept to get rid of FOTM's is on the rise.
There might still be FOTM with respect to 1 on 1 dueling. However, it is very clear that organized groups will want a wide range of professions. A group of FOTM would get rocked by a diverse group. Further, when "ideal" groups are mentioned, a carbineer is always included. I am pretty excited to see all this on the sandbox.

There's a huge PvP event on Eclipse going on -- and I'm helping the Rebel Defenses, trying to fish out all the MCarbineers I can....make for some nice shocks to Imperials
But you're right, there will always be an FOTM, a stacker style...etc etc. But after the CB anything should be possible in PvP, which is a great goal.

I just wanted to give you all the frustratingly vague update that stuff is still ongoing. Correspondants can't say even a peep but I want you to understand there is more information flying around in the last week than in the last 6 months. Big changes are coming to the combat system. Many look very positive and will make for an exceedingly interesting and tactical combat system.
I think what I can say is that Carbineers are being given a solid role andbecause so much is changing our top 5 issues aren't just addressed, they are irrelevant. Hopefully the Sandbox will be up soon so that we can #1 say more and #2 see how this all plays out.

Good to hear Nova. Where you at the summit yourself or did someone else go in your place?
I was a bit worried that you had not posted anything after the summit. Was thinking maybe you were not as excited as all the other correspondants and thought the revamp was not that great (and I know you are not the type that will cheer happily whatever the devs do)

I am glad to hear this is coming. I like the carbine, and can't wait to see it more effective.
I have long since believed that the way to go in SWG was not to nerf things down to a bottome level, but to raise up things to a higher one. This is good news if it is actually implamented!
