with friends, stay at 64m, rifleman does far more damage than TKM and if you run up to melee everyone will shoot at you and you will die. let the melee defense stack templates take the fire while you stand in the back and spam away.
against a ranged user, run up to melee range while spamming hs3 then dizzy/kd and continue spamming rifle.
against a melee, just run away and spam rifle.
TKM is not very useful as an offensive class because they only have light AP kinetic so they do crap damage to anyone in comp and nearly every high level mob.

Use Flushingshot to start with hoping to Stun some/all of them. Hopefully, you've got a friend to heal you so you can sit back and peacefully pick off your enemies' Mind bars. If someone gets close, put on your VKs(only if you're buffed) and go at them with your TKA skills. Keep in mind they have a HeadhitCheck the TKA forum fora nice CoB macro- you'll need it.
Multiple Enemies vs. Just Me
Running is likely the best thing to do. This doesn't mean giving up, but you'll probably be better off if they give up on chasing you. While running, try to land a Flurryshot 2(AoE Dizzy) so they can't burstrun after you. After that, you can /burst out of there. Or keep fighting(still running though- keep distance at all times). If you stay or cannot escape, follow up with a Flushingshot 2 for the Stun effect again. If you have Ranged Support IV, you can also try to force a posture down on one of them with SuppressionFire(note: this isn't very effective). Once through with all that, I guess HSs are they way to go until you're safe or caught. Should they manage to get in close, your Headhit may be the best thing for you after you KD/Dizzy whomever you can. Keep that CoB macro always running as soon as you unequip your rifle.
One on One
(What moves should I use, or what tactics should I use)
Flushingshot 1 first(or Flushingshot 2 if you can fire it just as fast). The Stun effect it gives, will delay one of their attacks and remove a lot of their defenses. After that, just focus on the Mind. I wouldn't bother with bleeds, but if you forsee it being a drawn-out battle, giving them one could help even if only to panic them a bit. Another thing to try is to run in and land a KD/Dizzy, then run back to 60 meters or so to use your rifle while they sit there and flop. This will depend on what you're fighting though. A Doctor or Fencer is going to be much harder to keep down than a Carbineer or BH(poor guys)
PvE:
What should I hunt that is fun? and that would help my guild? (ie guild hunts)
Peko Peko Albatrosses, Giant Dune Kimogilas, Gorax(how do you pluralize that?), Krayts of any sort, The Warren(anyone go there anymore?), Geonosian Biolab, NS caves, Anything humanoid on Dantooine(FS NPCs, Kungas, Mokks, Jantas)
NOW, if you have any other scenarios, please tell me, and help me bye giving me either more scenarios or just things/places to have fun with friends or just to have fun by myselfThanks all!
Go to anyplanet you want(easier ones if alone, tougher ones if grouped). Look under your POI tab. Go to every place on that list. Tons of interesting things to be found.
Hope this is a good start for you. It is by no means comprehensive.

rifleman pvp for all situations: flushing2 until it causes stun, then either hs3 or strafe2 until target is dead or stun wears off. hs3 for single enemies to a few guys (3 or so) because pool-specific attacks are faster than random and they can't heal mind, strafe2 for larger groups because even though they hitH/A mostof the time, it's an area attack anddoes more damagethan hs3 soit kills groups faster thanhs3.
before this delay crap, it was a good to switch to a high accuracy rifle for flushing2 then to jawa for hs3/strafe2 spam, and aTKA could switch toVK for dizzy/kd if enemies came up, but now you get killed during the huge delay if you try to switch in combat.
