As per title, I have a Krayted T-21 rifle with 630 max damage, and after looking at the stats on the blue froggie T-21s it puts my rifle to shame(
). Will my rifle be adjusted to post-CU stats, or will this rifle just be utter crap and be binned for the ADK?

If u go to the TC and get a t21 from the frog, its 825max damage. Better then ur krayted T21. I assume that ur T21 will be better, since its krayted it would be around 900 to 1k so ur rifle will still be uber i assume. But we dont know yet how they are going to adjust it post CU.

I haven't looked at jawas, but unless they have some amazing extra damage i'd try and get $ before this hits. Jawa will be energy, with electricity - no guarentee that the devs just won't change the Stun stat to energy and call it a day though. If that happened you would have a regular crafted t21 most likely.

I have a feeling hte weapons we see on the frogs in TC5 are the very best a 12 point Weaponsmith will ever make without special addons... Don't expect them to be the norm in the actual game..

This makes no sense... There is no way that the devs would hand out the best possible weapons for testing. The frogs would hand out weapons with average stats so that all levels of players could be effectively represented by testing. Not to mention that beta testing using uber weapons would only make for using poor weapons an impossibility.
Frog weapons are average, current weapons will be modified so that they fit into the CU as they are now. This has been commented on by devs countless times. A poor/average/good/exceptional T-21 will still be poor/average/good/exceptional T-21 after the CU. Sure, you can doubt it all you want but lets save our breath and see what happens. I'm so tired of all the doom-and-gloom that's going on regarding the CU.

aye good guns will still be good guns.... they just might not have an amazingly high advantage over other lesser quality versions...
think that point mostly applies to the legendary and exceptional rifles though.. a good loot crafted 21 will still be significantly better than a good normal 21 post CU i would imagine.

Well if that is the case then the best weapon in the current game is a POS compared to the average weapons. I got a TUsken RIFle that does over 600 points in the TC5 now. IF that is average we are talking a 1200 damage weapon. Also didnt the devs say the Exceptional weapons are going away?

yes and no.... you forget that AP is now gone (which increased the damage done by the 21's stats considerably)... and that rifle has lost all its high damage AOE specials...
exceptional and legendary weps going? that would be a shame... balancing.. but a shame.. everyone has to have some item they crave/dream to get hold of... tends to keep you interested in the game.
the lack of good loot to go for in SWG has often been an issue.

as has the reverse... to much good loot lately has been a issue. Remember this game is not just about Combat types - it is also about the crafters and the entertainers (well unfortunately not about the entertainers lately T_T) so loot must be held to a level that allows the crafters to have a participation in the game. The original goal as stated in beta1 and beta2was that the best stuff in the game would be player crafted... we have come a long way since then but it was and still is a worthy goal.
