This is in my opinion: Combat really needs to improve. Changes that were said that have been made in the 15.1.1 Patch does not seem to have made any difference as what I can see. Mainly it seems that I can not attack more than 3 settlangs until I do no more damage even getting killed from a level 1 settling is very annoying. Also I had 5 fittings in my riffle and now I have only 2, 3 have disappeared and the condition on them is still 100%. The firing action is also to slow. the main fact that damage is reduced to almost non after firing weapon for a few secs takes away the ability to engage higher level mobs and bosses, weather this is intent or in defence.

I'd recommend posting your thoughts though on the official forums. It's all a work in progress.
That having been said, rifles are meant for burst damage. They consume a ton of energy but also heavy damage. Ideal for soloing single mobs or dealing damage quickly, but not ideal for multi-mob encounters.

They have more important things to worry about than combat right now in my opinion... I still wish they would of released the game or atleast no wipes, some people don't want to spend a year testing just to have a wipe, I know that's beta, but people get bored from MMO's today.. So I did some testing and now I will wait for the wipe..
But from what I seen the UI is not very good, needs a ton of work they need to hire someone who has a clue about the UI, that thing is annoying. and way dated..,
The UI is a placeholder ... coders GUI
Someone will be hired to redo this during the Beta polish iterations.
