I'll agree with the rifle, it can be useful, I just preferred the pistol because it meant that I could be as careless as I wanted and didn't have to worry about supply issues. It did get pretty awkward when it was pistol vs. Trandoshan Tank but that solved itself by a quick rocket to the face.

Although one of my favorite tactics with a Super was to run in circles and jump around it, stabbing it all the while. The thing can't fight back when it's turning around.

For a Trandoshan melee guy, a couple of pistol shots and a quick smack to the face puts them in the ground really quick. Shields are strong enough to take on one or two safely in hand to hand combat, and if you crouch and get behind them, you can kill them instantly. For one with a shotgun, backpedal so they can't be accurate and do damage, and fire the entire time. Shoot the closest one first. The farther ones won't do as much damage. For one with a jetpack, shoot him there. The ones with rifles don't do a lot of damage, even in groups, so a grenade or two takes care of them.

Destroyers...yeah, I followed that example to the letter. Never mess with perfection.
