Ok we have all three and aside from sniping we everyone uses repeaters…. Why well they easily trump rifles and pistols in damage and attacks.
My solution is kind of simple, make repeater attacks relative to combat levels.
If you are 1-30 combat well its like a rifle to you 31-60 1 extra attack. This can keep doing till 140+ where you get all 6 attacks. Even if you don’t like the level setup you can tweak it.

We had that. It was called second/third/fourth/fifth attack.
Things are fine as they are. What needs to happen, is the ruling government needs to start policing repeaters. If they don’t want to, it’s their own faults.

You cannot snipe with a repeater. Rifles/pistols don’t suck as much as you think they are. There’s more to combat than "Stand here and exchange blows" and "Come on, guys! There’s 5 of us and 1 of him!"

I don’t really see any upside to pistols aside from RP factor.
Even the duelist feat is worthless due to the damage cap on blaster shots.
Maybe if ranged weapons had a to hit modifier based on distance.
-Pistols are most accurate in the same room and approached
-Repeaters are most accurate in the same but NOT approached
-Rifles are most accurate when snipingSo unless there is some hidden to hit modifier which is not disclosed in the help files (hidden game mechanics piss me off BTW) then I don’t see how pistols "aren’t as shitty as we think they are"

You mean like knowing when to flee and heal, knowing to not use your shield in the begining of battle but to save it for when your low on hp or when to flurry and when to bash also knowing. Fact is people only use repeaters very very few players use pistols or rifles. They need a reason to exchange besides sniping.

I am not totally certain on all of this, but if 95% of the mud is using only repeaters there is probably some balance issues to work out. Just like how 95% of the mud uses only MSTR datapads.

I use a rifle and pistols, never a repeater. So far been the winner in combat I have ran into.
