I am not implying that the certs for any new Carbine is set yet.....just saying expect to share between all the profs because some have pre-req's of the Carbine Line.
The 4th is Marksman

Got to keep in mind the new armor design too, with the energy levels. At most a single carbine could get 2 modes, still need another carbine for a third mode. So we can have several carbines of a same typer but with different energycombos.
I think you're right on track with this one. Expecially as damage types will be of limited significance in the future, it seems... at least according to this passage from the Armour Upgrade Overview:
How exact amount of damage mitigation that provided at each protection amount is something that will be looked at very closely in our Combat Upgrade testing. Based on these initial numbers, however, one can see that most of armor's protective value will be made up by general protection, while the specific protection portion will provide about 20% of the armor's value.
Sure, 20 percentprotection can still make a difference, but the energy levels will probably be the cutting edge in combat, from all i've read on the matter.
