Yeah... We really need to see a T21 on Starsider... oh wait.. I did see one one a Singing Mountainclan Arch Witch. Too bad I couldn't loot it.(if I had survived). The stealth idea sounds good, not showing up on radar, kinda like mask scent for players, since Rifles max out at a range I could throw a rock and kill someone faster, than using my rifle. Maybe we could get that skill added..lol
As I've posted and seen posted before, the maths just don't add up
By the time a rifleman gets off 1 eight hit combo a pistoleer has time to get off 6 eight hit combos.
I don't want to be overpowered I just want to be competitive.

When I can go afk while running somwhere with my pistol at Marksman level pistol 3 and fight off a horde of creatures WITHOUT BEING THERE and yet half the same creatures when I AM AT MY KEYBOARD stomp on my face because I am using a rifle at Novice Rifleman (ok so it's not fancy but it's meant to be better than pstiol 3 yeah?)- it's a sure sign that something is seriously, totally, utterly screwy.
With all respect to the devs, I do think he should answer the simple question that has been posed - have you actually ever used a rifle? And not just now and then snap a shot off and then switch to pistol. I mean, really, really, really? You can be straight pistols, or straight carbine, seems to me that you canget by shooting at ALL the same ranges just fine on the move falling backwards off a cliff in a sandstorm - as a rifleman I have to spend skill points on pistol just to have a trust sidearm that attacks a darn different pool anyway. I don't mind the idea of having sidearm skills for a sniper type but no other gun profession needs to worry about having a secondary weapon.
Fix the accursed ranges. I'm a weaponsmith and I examine every gun I make very, very closely and I tell you that for the most part rifle penalties are completely ridiculous. I've made DLT20 rifles with +45 bonus to mid range but as that's around oh, 2 metres of leeway you don't get much joy there - a little too far or a little closer and you start moving towards -50. I mean come ON, -50? From +45? Laser rifles with -80 at point blank range? That is utterly ridiculous. And I can't even experiment on that range. That's right - I experiment on "range" and for every "great success"I get +1 per experimentation point. ONE RANGE. And at mid range only, no other ranges get touched. So best I can hope for is +10 range but sacrificing up to 40 DPS on the weaponframe. Ha! Anyway ... rant over. I'm going to start investigating more ways I can make better rifles but that DLT20a tooled up seems to be the best "sidearm" rifle I can make. Sad isn't it - the lowest rifle cert above a CDEF.
I understand the magnitude of QA'ing this product but sheesh.
By the way as for Commando titles - Grenadier is spelt Grenadier, not Grenadeer (Doe, a deer, A GRENADEER). And there is an "i" in Ordinance, it's not "Ordnance". As a professional QA person, I can tell you smalland stupefyingly simple mistakes like darn typos makes you wonder how much attention is being paid to everything else (god I hope I haven't typo'd here 
)
Rar!

Not a rifleman, yet. But close to it. Now I have have to think is this still the right choice.
