Over the last few months I've seen the pistoleer lose its glory and sink to the bottom of the PVP ranks...simply because H2H fighters are too strong. I ask any DEV or anyone who knows a DEV or anyone who can resubmit this to a DEV....that a great Idea that could balance pistoleer is to allow pistols to be shot from vehicles. This even helps commando and bounty hunter. Anyone who uses a pistol. Sure it means a lot of people are going to have their vehicles blown up, but that's just the price you pay.
Now a pistoleer can surprise a target by zooming up on them and getting a few shots off.
I hope I get some support for this idea. I know I didnt think of everything, so if you have ideas of your own that would make my idea better, feel free to add them.

I would rather they fix our prof first then start on code to allow us to shoot from vehicles.

And then every other profession will want to be able to shoot/strike on a vehicle. Meaning you wont be on foot in PvP battles. So, every battlefield will look like a nest of killer bees. Actually, no, I take that back. It will lag all over worse than it would now. Imagine a server trying to keep up with all the very fast swoops on a battlefield...all shooting/striking..and then trying to send out that data for your computer to try to process it there.
Even on a very fast connection, with one of the newest computers out there, it would be just plain horrendous. the battle would basiclly be "who could survive the lag the longest without crashing."
So, I hope they don't allow shooting from vehicles. This game already has huge lag times in many areas. Throw that in.

Yeah, shooting from a vehicle means you can kite anything and not get hit. The 'on foot' at least gives some risk.

Even worse that the kiting...EVERYONE would be doing it. Then, you know there will have to be an accuracy decrease mod for being on a vehicle, as it should be. A person standing and shooting will have a much better chance to hit than someone in a vehicle moving.
I know people will say "Halo has it, UT has it, SWG could have it too1" You do understand that at most, there are 32 people at most on one of those games at a time. Why not more? Lag. Graphics loading. Now, look at any Base Battle. Do you see only 32 people there? Usually not. Usually many more. Even then so, even with people having high end systems, they lag.
