My 5 million cred De-10 will be hanging on my wall. Im going to make another crappier one just to screw around with, maybe ill tell people that its AP2 and then they will get so scared and not want to fight me...probably not...

well, I found a great use for the DE-10 tonite. nightsister rangers and elders. both had only 25% resists to energy, but 100% resists to everything else but lightsaber. so the DE-10 has become quite useful for me at least.

O come on this gun sucks!!!! A krayted RB is better as it is actually firing once per second with AP1, it looks cool wow so does the geno blaster which still isnt that great considering the schematic almost never drops and requires all looted componentry. Rifleman get a stun weapon with AP1 and they dont have to loot it or pay millions for it. They also get a T21 thats also a cheaper weapon and fire them both at the same speed as us.

As for the cost of a DE-10, I agree, don't waste your money.
You can always go camp the first room of the DWB with your speeder parked at the entrance to escape any aggro'ing SBD's, and the Black sun chaps are no problem for Pistoleers (granted, you'll be out-damaged by anyone else there but try not to go at peak hours to be sure of some loot).
Rinse and repeat this for a few hours and you'll have yourself a schematic and barrel, unless you're really unlucky.
Then you have to get some Krayt tissues and that's not really a job a Pistoleer can handle with any speed, you could kill it, but it would take hours, by which time it'd have been kill stolen from you. 
I ended up buying two Krayt Advanced Power Handlers for a good price, but saved a lot of money getting the schematic and barrel myself.

True, the DE-10 could have been better, but the combat balance will actually do something to help it along. I know that it sucks that pistoleers got screwed into basically getting a weapon that won't be very good for a few months, but this gun isn't too bad. If the price for one wasn't outrageous, and it could be fired faster, it could be much better. Unfortunately, one of the main problems is that riflemen have much better weaponry, at cheaper costs and more readily available, and that seems to be one of the major complaints.
Bottom line, this could have been a better weapon, but it still has potential. For now, it's really not worth the time, effort, and cost of getting one, but I'll hold my final judgement until after the combat rebalance. If it still sucks then....well, then I will have to look more closely at WoW.
