The following is a summary of the poll results. Keep in mind that this is not necessarily a true representaion of the SWG Pistoleer community in general--just a summary of those pistoleers who happen toparticipate inthis forum and chose to participate. Still, hopefully it's a halfway decent cross-section, despite the relatively small sample size (24 people responded). I re-ordered these in descending order (with the percentage of people who claimed a given template in parentheses, rounded to the nearest percent). Also keep in mind that because the categories are not mutually exclusive, the percentages will not add up to 100%:
(88%) Master Pistoleer
(79%) Master Marksman
(75%) Bounty Hunter Desperado (BH x/x/4/x)
(42%) Medic (Medic x/x/x/x)
(38%) Force-Sensitive (any branch unlocked)
(33%) Smuggler Rogue (Smuggler x/x/4/x)
(21%) Commando (Commando x/x/x/x)
(13%) non-master Pistoleer (and not working toward master)
(0%) Bounty Hunter pistols less than full Desperado (up to BH x/x/3/x)
(0%)Smuggler pistols less than full Rogue (up to Smuggler x/x/3/x)
There are so many ways to look at various combinations of these results too, but here are thefew that I found enlightening:
(71%) Master Pistoleer + Master Marksman
(63%) Master Pistoleer + Desperado
(42%) Master Pistoleer + Medic
(33%) Master Pistoleer + Force Sensitive
(29%) Master Pistoleer + Rogue
(17%) Master Pistoleer + Commando
And some other combinations:
(25%) Master Pistoleer + Desperado + Rogue (the all pistol specials template)
(8%)Master Pistoleer + Deperado + Rogue + Commando (the all pistols template)
So to summarize... It seems that pistoleers generallyfindDesperado(and/or Master Marksman, which is a prerequisite to Depserado)to be the most popular compliments to our profession, followed by Medic, Force-Sensitive, Rogue, and Commando, in that order.
It will be interesting to see how these template preferenceschange after the CURB. My prediction, if the Devs do a good job of making Pistoleer a more stand-alone profession,will be that Rogue will become more popular than it is now, though I doubt that it will ever be as popular as Desperado simply because Bounty Hunter is such a popular profession in this game. Some people are only Bounty Hunters because of the pistol speed/accuracy mods (and specials), but many others are Bounty Hunters because they like to hunt Jedi.
Thanks for the paricipation, my fellow Pistoleers.

================================================================================
Original message follows:
I'm becoming increasingly curious what the templates of most pistoleers are, so I decided to take a poll. I will summarize the statistics when the poll is finished, and I'll try to remember to repeat the poll after the CURB for comparison (this will make a good baseline to see how the CURB affects our profession). I'll keep it running until whenever the participation fizzles out.
The results I am interested in seeing are how many of us are:
1) Master Pistoleer
2) Master Marksman
3) Bounty Hunter Pistols 4 (full Desperado)
4) Any other level of Bounty Hunter Pistols (xx1x thru xx3x, but NOT full Desperado)
5) Smuggler Dirty Fighting4 (full Rogue)
6) Any other level of Smuggler Dirty Fighting (xx1x thru xx3x, but NOT full Rogue)
7) Commando (Novice or higher)
8) Medic (any level)
9) Force-Sensitive (any FS skill branches unlocked)
I don't need to see all the numbers for which skill boxes you have--please just post which categories above apply to you (e.g., say, "I am # 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9" - which is my own template, incidentaly). With the exception of Medic and FS, I'm restricting the poll to professions/lines that directly use pistol skills or some type of pistol (I'm including the Launcher here even though it's not technically a pistoleer weapon). I am therefore not interested in Fencer, TKA, etc.for the purposes of this poll. If I left out any that anybody feels is directly relevant to Pistoleer, feel free to add it.
For those of you who have not yet completed your template, please post the template that you are working towards (and indicate that you are not yet there in case I decide to summarize those results separately). Thanks for participating!

well, I have several pistol builds on several galaxies, so.... lol. I'll just reply with respect to my "main" galaxy.
The Doctoleer is 1) and 8)
It may be a little unfair to disclude fencer as the dodge stack is really nice. At least 2 of my other builds use at least some fencer for defensive stacking.

I can see your point. There are several other professions that I could have included for stacking considerations though, and defense stacking is supposed to go away with the CURB anyway, so I wanted to draw the line somewhere and focus morestrictly on pistoleer skills. Feel free to post if you are a fencer though.

1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9.
Just have 4xxx Commando right now to grind three branches of Force Sensative XP - FS Ranged and Melee Defense, and FS Range Accuracy. As soon as those three branches are filled I'm going to drop all of Commando and re-pick up the Desperado line and some more medic. Still deciding whether to go Rogue with that at the expense of some medic.

For a long time I played MP/Desperado.
I just recently dropped to 1/0/4/1 Pistols, w/ Desperado.
I'M SORRY!!!!!! I'm a sellout, I know!!!
The CURB is coming, and I plan to go back to MP roots then. 
P.S. Please don't ask what I dropped MPistols, Novice SL, and Medic 2040 for...

1,8,9
Master Pistoleer
4/0/0/4 CM
Novice Doc
Novice Brawler
FS Ranged Speed, Melee Defence, 2 boxes of Ranged Accuracy and 2 boxes of Melee Speed
...cause ranged speed is broken and melee speed does all weapons, when they fix ranged speed I'll drop melee speed for ranged accuracy, or ranged defence... have 12 sp to put into FS skils, so three lines.
At the moment my template is PvE group support, poison stacks, heals, state cures and tanking mobs when the melee tanks fall down or need help andas second line of defence to stop the fragile riflemen getting stomped.
