I have some good tissue, 190 x6 and am getting a good WS to make a weapon for my new template. MBH/MRM
Ok so --- I been told the best rifle out there is ADV laser , BUT adv laser max damage at 1180 right ?
A Heavy lightning Canon at 1150? + 80 elemental damage which equals 1230
Do ADV laser typically get beter sac and speed then the lightning canon?
i appretiate all comments!!

I could be convinced to go with either the trando or the lighnting cannon here.. i'd favor the trando since the lightning cannon's special damage still seems to be somewhat buggy (at least in the limited tests i've done). I'd choose one of these because of thier higher effective minimum damage... if you go with the trando though wait until you loot some components for it that will really emphasize this advantage 40/40 at least..

The Advanced Laser Rifle (ALR) caps at 1,184 damage (crafted OR sliced). It does not care how you get there, but either via crafting with uber tissues or slicing with an illegal core booster....when you hit 1,184 on an ALR you damage capped it. Granted you then add a damage pup, which takes it higher, but the crafted/sliced damage cap is 1,184.
Now with that said, you can get the min damage higher (no cap) which will contribute to your damage pup adding more max damage (damage powerups as a percent work off the min damage). The problem is with uber tissues you don't have to experiment damage that much...which keeps your min damage lower as well.
I don't know much about the Heavy Lighting Cannon. I do know by making it you limit yourself to always being a BH. At least with an ALR you can use it with ANY profession..............no requirement on it. Same as the Trando Hunting Rifle. A crafted Trando Hunting Rifle will have the same stat limitations as the ALR.
You might save your tissues until they fix the borked looted scopes. You might be able to add a +50 or higher accuracy bonus to your weapon assuming they ever fix those scopes. Right now they are bugged.
ALR or Trando gives you the most flexibility long term for weapon use. Just experiment them to 82 SAC, max out damage, and then craft the rest into speed. Toss a 12% speed slice on top of that (as long as damage is capped)and you would have a smokin rifle.

Of those two choices, I'd go with the Heavy Lightning Cannon.
Purely because of how cool their shots look now.
Do you regularly change your template? Or will you be sticking with it long term?
Either way, you'll probably want to go for the ALR (or the Trando, if it doesn't have a certification other than level) because if/when you find something better, you could always sell off your old rifle, or pass it on to a friend, etc.
If you get the HLC, the options are a bit more limited.

Go for the trandoshan Hunting rifle 1-b i thnk it is. after slice and PuP it does cap until 1353+
Avd. Las. Rifle, caps at 1182 iirc, and after slice and PuP caps at 1292
I have a HLR with 1082 max dmg, 82 sac, and 2.6 speed unsliced. so not sure what the cap on that is i have some slicing stuff so i will find out tonite.

Go after either a HLR or T21, master-certed weps have a hidden dmg multiplier.
