And here it is. A spreadsheet showing pretty much everything you ever need to know about the 5 ranged combat professions.
MCommando and MPistoleer are tied for the suckiest DPS, of 12 with an Unsliced HAR/FWG5 using AcidSingle2/StoppingShot vs a Ranged Master (e.g each other) in standard 65% Base Composite. Note that that's so low that they could never kill each other. The Rifleman wins by doing 153 Mind damage per second using his damage sliced Disruptor Rifle. Of course, once he caps out on speed with a +8 Speed SEA he hits 379 damage per second with his damage sliced and powered-up T21 and Strafe2.
Note that there's no entry for Capped MBH, since he already caps with a 2.2 speed Scatter Pistol, and the Carbine Specials are similar enough to a capped Carbineer to not bother repeating.

Nice work! It is something I always suspected, and now we have hard data. Thanks for doing this.

Ah, no biggie. I'm glad I was able to do it on TC2, been ages since I picked up a Flamethrower. That and I was always too poor to use Rockets, I dropped before solo grouping became "the thing".

Hopefully it'll spell the doom of terrible Commando DPS ratings.
Although the Rocket Launcher turns out nice. Now to find them at less than 1500cr per shot.

Oh, and if Commandos are the "Heavy Weapon Specialists", then why does the LLC repeatedly and consistently beat the crap out of the FT? An unsliced LLC has a better DPS than a 35% Speed sliced FT!

Nice work. It would be interesting if the devs acknowledged whether or not they have similar spreadsheets for all of the possible professions with all the possible permutations.

Finally Hard Numbers!
It's one thing to beg and beg for help. It's one thing to explain our experiences and ask the devs what's going on...can we get help here.
BUT it's a completely different story when we can PROVE whats wrong and DEMAND answers/acknolwedgement!!!
I can just picture Garvin storming into SOE, slamming and old and worn out manilla folder onto a desk. Papers within spill out onto the desk and even over the side, "Here's your proof you SOB!..." **dramatic pause as onlookers stare in shock** "...Now may be please get busy and resolve this like professionals."
Sheesh...I watch too many movies!
Thanks a Million Razer! Let's hope all your effort payed off.
BIG Slainte' to YOU!

Good point, and if this is starwars, why the heck is some guy with a big stick doing more damage than i can with my flame thrower? why does a pistoleer miss more often than a TKA? and why havent the DEVs realised that combat has run amok and needs a serious reallignment?
