I'm currently Master pistol/BH pistols IV/smuggler0040/novice commando/ and was gonna do novice tk, HOWEVER. With new enhanced force senses, like increased range accuracy, speed, defense, melee defense, and vehicular control, i dont know what to do. Anybody else though this through and came up w/ a good template?
P.S. Im not wanting to become a jedi, just become better w/ my pistols

By your template it looks like you're 100% pistols...which is good. But, you'd be wasting skill points by taking the ranged speed line. You're already beyond the speed cap, so the extra will do nothing for you (might change after revamp...just have to wait for the docs in a couple of weeks). I'll be going for accuracy and the defenses.

Hey Everitt – they have some decent ‘how to’ guides stickied (well, it was last I looked anyways) in the Test Center forum under galaxies. They’ve got a couple good ones floating around the Jedi board too, will explain what you need to do to get to the village (at least by player theory), what quests to do for what you want, etc.
I've heard that the FS skills are supposed to go above and beyond the cap as well, but I've no concrete proof or verification on that...

I am looking to augment my skills with melee & ranged defence, ranged accuracy & speed, luck, vehicle control, and repair. Possibly the survival tree of Reflexes as well for the extra terrain negotiation and scouting ability.

Talking to one of my guildmates, it sounds like the Enhanced Ranged Accuracy isn't working right now. Not sure if anyone else has more on that or not.

Well, I had the same template as you, but do hope to unlokc Jedi someday, but didnt want to fubar my template to much in the mean time. What I came up with was this.
I had 1 free unlock. Now unfortunatlly, although it in no way shape or form helped me or will anytime in the forseeable future, I had to unlockranged speed tree with it. If I didnt use it as my free one, I would have had gaps in between villgae phases, cuasing a prolonged time on my ability to unlock Jedi. No thanks, so thats 1 I took.
To take that speed I dropped novice commando. Hardlly ever used a LP so I figured it was the least important. Although I hardlly used it, the times I DID use it I found it extremlly usefull. Shame, I really miss that thing now.
Having now gotten enhanced ranged accuracy 4, I see no difference currentlly by having it. However, I think this kinda goes without saying, in the fact that before I got it my accuracy was so high I hardlly ever missed . . now its higher and I uhh. . . hardlly ever miss . . ( ?! ) . . lol its ok though this one will come in handy in a little while.
its ok though this one will come in handy in a little while.This leaves me 4 skill points left. The next 4 phases I will be doing all of reflex, as there is very little in there that doesnt help at all ( as in most others there are things I dont want, and thats a different Force XP type to work on. )
After this I will be in pain. I must drop, as far as I can tell of all things . . master Pistoleer 
Yes it will make me sad, but I see no way around it. I could drop BH pistols down instead, but I use many of these specials in PvP, torso shot being at BH pistols 4, and its an opening shot for me.

In the end I will drop Master Pistoleer and Pistoleer acuracy all the way down ( Pistoleer 4044 ). My accuracy will be alittle lower then it was when I first started, I will lose a cert (/cry) , some speed but still be capped I belive, and +20 dodge ( ouch ), yet still reamin over all as effective as I was before hand, with faster foot speed, faster veh. control, and a HECk of alot more Ranged and melee Defense then when I started.
If anything, I urge all Pistoleers to take a look at those ranged and melee defense FS boxes. Sure you still wont come anywhere close to a defense stacking template, but we are not about that, we are about pistols, and those two branches can really help ALOT in PvP.
P.S = After I unlock my 2nd slot, my 2nd character is going right back to pistols
I hope this ramble helps in some way shape or form.

this is kind of a noobish question, but what is the pistol speed cap?
