Looking forward to it. Taking the opportunity to start a Republic guild on Master Dar'Nala, as from what I've seen strong and active leadership has been what's lacking from most of the guilds I've checked out in SWToR.

Thanks for your work, it's a good summary of a lot of things I've been reading in different threads. I think that respectfully disagreeing with the OP and indicating why, with your supporting information, is great, and that's how we increase our knowledge of the game. Some of the responses in this thread are a little bit nit-picky and hostile to be of any use. We're all here to learn, noone gets a cookie for being the best trooper forums poster so focus on educating yourself and others, and not flaming over what are fairly unimportant points that are solved by improving your reading comprehension. Thanks again.

That's not necessarily going to be true. Blaster rifles would likely have much greater accuracy and usability, blaster pistols are much more practical for up close fighting, sniper rifles still provide unmatched precision at range. You wouldn't kick in a door with an assault cannon, you'd let the guys with the blaster rifles and pistols charge in first. Everything has its place.

Applying 2012 Earth logic to the Star Wars universe is bound to lead to frustration. I would imagine with an entire galaxy of resources to draw on, and technology to utilise, assault cannons are actually relatively light-weight, and ammunition is not limited by physical capacity to carry more 'cells', but rather a perpetually self-replenishing resource that needs only time without use to restore itself. Think of the most impressive technological advancements we are working on, then imagine that in the Star Wars universe they have been achieved and perfected. I also find everything is more awesome when I think of it like this

Thanks to 2/2 Deadly Cannon and Surge rating, your Demo Round crits should actually be much higher than 2x normal hit damage. That said, it would be very strange and poor design to intentionally allow this to happen. It would result in class stacking for ops that would be undesirable. I daresay that if this is the case it would be bugged and not to count on it, but thanks for giving us something to look out for!
