Star Wars Galaxies: About T21 changes

On the Official Dev Board Holocron made a post to clarify what is happening to the T21 Rifle.

So yesterday I passed along this math to the design team:

With a max damage slice, and max starting stats, the T21 DPS can be liberally estimated at (400 average damage / 8 speed). Again, this is assuming a -spectacular- slice with starting stats far beyond anything presently avaliable. A similarly uber Scatter Pistol could manage an average of over 120 damage with a 1.5 speed (speed slice). 120/1.5= 80. The T21 DPS, on the other hand, would be 50. If you'll concentrate for a few hours, you will come to the startling conclusion that 80>50.
