Nothing for Pistoleers I'm afraid, but here's a transcript anyway. Mostly jedi and bounty hunter stuff, and some "are you really going to fix things? The delaying of the Combat Balance has us really upset" questions, with predictable answers. Probably the most notable new information is that JustG mentioned they were looking into innoculations and area heals for dealing with Combat Medic poison/disease. It's worth a read, anyway.

they completely blew by one very important question, failing to answer it, and that upsets me.
Brannoc - *Deceit* Being able to hit mind is probably the biggest incentive on what professions to take in pvp. What plans are there to change this and how soon would we see them?
not even an attempt to answer it.

It slipped through the cracks and that disappoints me. I sincerely doubt development would intentionally sidestep such a hot topic for the community, when they have addressed it openly in the past (I know that isn't what you are suggesting).
For those who don't remember, Mind damage will be "removed as a special damage type," which was a confusing announcement but itmeans that it won't be so special anymore. It will be on the same playing field as Health and Action. If you read between the lines, that probably means it will be easier to heal than it is right now.
Furthermore, they are looking at reducing the effectiveness of targeted shots in general. It's all part of the greater picture they are trying to put together for the CB.
As for when, that's kind of up in the air. If it is decided that it is something that needs to be done (or can be done) before the CB then it will be, if not it won't be. The criteria and the schedule for what will be done when is a little fuzzy at this point.
