actually if they are in feign deathI switch to my most wounding weapon and let fly on them... they may be unkillable but they also will be black bar when they stand again ... generally it is better to die then to do feign death for any length of time in pvp as you at least can get back into the fight without lenghty healing time if you die
if commando light em up! you won't kill em butthey can't dodge or anything in feign death so you will hit and burn their bar black!

I am both Master Rifleman and Master Smuggler. I don't PvP much, but I do follow the Smuggler boards closely. The Devs have said directly that doing what you suggest is considered Griefing and your account can be suspended for doing it.
However, they have also said that Feign Death was not intended for PvP. Unfortunately (for you) it is not griefing to use it. So FD is an advantage for the smuggler in combat. And even though I understand how it can piiss somebody off, it IS griefing to black bar the person or their armor.
Really? Ok won't do that any more but it is currently an impossible thing to do anything but that. Seems very unfair and unbalanceing... I started doing this after a smuggler Killed me cause i though he was dead but only feigning. Hopefully they allow our posture up attack (a reason for Startleshot!) to force them out of that posture again cause the current situation is untenable. (btw: is it not true that during feign death your armor does not take decay?)

FD should be switched so it works for PvP - all everyone sees is Corpse of So and So, you can just stand up when you want. That way it's really feigning.
I didn't realize it destroyed their armour as well. Now there's no reason to stop pummeling them when their ham bars are black. LOL
/ui action toolBarPanexx
/ui action toolBarButtonXX
/ui action toolBarButtonXX
etc
/feign
That's what I would do personally.
Like I said, I think the Devs should just make FD make you look like a corpse. unattackable, and people can't tell if you're Feigning or actually Dead (well, maybe let people in your group see a State that says Faking or something). That's the ideal for everyone, and makes it useful in PvP.
