A few questions for a novice:
1: What is the best armor for a pistoleer?
2: How do speed mods work relative to a pistol speed, and how is that relative to an actual time (like is 1.0=1 second?)
3: How does Ranged damage mitigation compare to Ranged defense points?
4: What are some good combos for pvp, both short range and longrange?
5: When will we get dual pistols?

- What is the best armor for everyone? Composite if you can wear it. Ubese if not. Ubese can be effective PvE (especially against creatures) but not as effective PvP.
- 1.0 is 1 second - which is as fast as a pistol can be. For a detailed explanation of how the Pistol Speed skill works, check out http://killyourpc.org/swg/speedguide.html.
- Damage mitigation decreases the potential ranged damage by reducing the range from minimum to maximum damage, effectively reducing the damage you take (but you still take damage). Ranged Defense gives a chance to avoid the attack outright, taking no damage. I've read that each point of Ranged Defense equals 0.5% chance for someone to miss you.
- I don't do much PvP, but the best thing to do is KNOW YOUR ENEMY. Use the pistol that attacks his vulnerabilities (depending on his armor) then get your best specials in there. PistolMeleeDefense1 followed by StoppingShot is effective: the first knocks your opponent down, the second is our highest-damage special -- and you get a damage bonus when your opponent is lying on his stomach or back.
- Talk to the devs. I don't see this happening at any point in the foreseeable future, if ever. Just the needs to create hundreds of new animations (for people walking with two pistols) is reason enough to think they'll never do it.
