So, everyone probably knows there have been rumors about the enhanced ranged speed FS mods not working. I even heard that the melee speed FS mods were giving speed enhancements for both. So I asked a CSR and was told that it was working at intended. This leaves me to conclude one of three things.
1. The CSR does not know what he is talking about and just gave the same old answer.
2. It is working just perfectly.
3. It is working as intended but it is not working as players expected it to.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue or has anyone been given any other sort of official word from CSR?

CSR's don't know.
QA's sometimes know, or can find out.
devs usually know, or can find out, or can recode it.
if you have a question, bring it to the forums... let the vets answer it as well as they're able... let the correspondent answer it... and if a dev happens to answer, you're set.
right now, melee speed seems to add speed to melee AND ranged attacks.
ranged speed does not appear to be working (though I've heard rumors that it DOES work for commando heavy weapons).
don't ask CSR's... unless you don't really want to know the answer.
my apologies to the CSR squad... but too many among your number have caused too much damage and confusion over the last year for players to expect anything but automated responses that don't touch the issues that are raised in chat, in tickets ingame, and elsewise.

Has there been any dev statement whatsoever regarding this problem? Even a "we'll look into it" would be better than silence.

for FS ranged accuracy works melee accuracy works ranged defense works very well melee defense works very well. melee speed does not work. i swing my lightsaber in default attack mode at 4.7 which is the saber's swing speed. so it figures that ranged speed also doesnt work. i dont have that FS line.
if there is some OTHER meaning to ranged and melee speed that they havent bothered to clarify that is a different issue.

oh one other other thing. the devs MAY be looking ahead to the combat balance and ranged speed and melee speed may be functioning on a modifier that doesnt exist yet but will after the combat balance. this i think is far more liekly a scenario than it being just simply broken. same with the crafting modifiers.

FS Melee Speed most definately affects pikes. I am a can of whoop ass now that I have the full line, it's a very noticable difference. Master Pike is only +75 speed, and the extra +12 makes a huge difference.
Can't comment on the Ranged Speed, since I'm mostly a melee template.

Well what that tells me though is that with the ranged line I should notice a difference if it is indeed working as intended.

I proved conclusively in this thread that Melee Speed is affacted Ranged Speed.
