they attack different pools. Headshot3 attacks mind pool, conceal attacks all 3 so Headshot3 would take down a target faster than conceal shot.
What he says is true, but it is also true that Headshot3 has a 3x damage modifer and a 2x speed modifer where as Concealshot is 2.5x damage and 3x speed. So even if Headshot3 was a random pool attack, it would do more damage both because it has a higher damage modifer and a shorter delay.
For the reason stated above, Headshot2 (with the same 2.5x damage modifier as Concealshot) would also kill a target faster than Concealshot, but it would also do sobecause Headshot2, like Headshot3, also has a shorter delay (1.8x) than Concealshot.
Concealshot's strength is not damage (though the damage is not bad). It is the fact that an NPC or Mob will not aggro on you because of Concealshot (though they can aggro for other reasons -- e.g., you miss twice, they get too close, etc.). But you pay for this with the second slowest delay modifier (3x) of all our shots. Only Strafeshot2 is slower, and that shot is both Area Effect and twice the damage of Concealshot. But Concealshot is very useful because it does not aggro the target.

In the link stickied at the top titled "Important links, Guides and FAQs for Smugglers", you'll find the Smuggler FAQ, which contains a handy macro for grinding Spice.
For slicing, there is no macro, but the FAQ also contains all the info you need to get you through Slicing.
There's also a "Smuggler's guide to Pistol XP" linked in the same thread.
Good luck.

You can still unlock now, but if you unlock , you cannot use the FS char until Patch 10.
The quest based unlocking is due at Patch 10 aswell

Unlocking is not disabled.
If you unlock before Pub 10, you will not have to do the quests.

Hey all... i just started bounty hunter, and am confused. I am under the impression that i can not use a tracking droid, until i get investigation 1. How am i supposed to find my bounty from the missions, if i can use a droid? I dont just run around and look for him do I?

That correct, but it would be better if you max out your XP in investigation before u train, I have couple offriends who quit the BH, cause the train Inv. 1 and have to start all over agian.

After taking it slow to increase the antisipation, I finally got Inv III this evening and after a jolly evening in DWB, I took a mission to hunt a very prominent Jedi on my server. I used the droids, but I didnt really have to because I knew where he would be.
I found my mark, the time was right for an attack, I entered the Cantina he was sitting in, unarmed chatting with his freinds, I coolly walk up ready to unleash hell. I deliver a short message from my sponsors and hit the attack key.
Nothing happened.
He had no tef to me.
I got banned from the city. Jedi stayed put.
I waited outside an hour or so and followed the Jedi about. He logged out and back in at one point and I even did the same. Still no Tef.
What I am doing wrong?
Are there only certain locations I can attack a jedi? Or certain times?
Is there a secret command I must use?

The game is broken. Once you have learned this point, you have won the game and can move on.

Its a bug, delete and reget the mision. How embarising that must have been. By the way most PC cities have a BH term, and from what Ive noticed 100% of mi marks have a TEF if I do not have to travel so if they are in the city where I get the mission I have no trouble, although with this comes the risk of occasionaly the mission does not completing or xp grant upon the jedis demise.
