Yeah the Czerka and the E5 they are teh hotness
Does anything in this CU make sense? No. I fear the dev's were pressured into releasing an immature,unfinished,unpolished product. Again.
I don't see how trying to give weapon certs to other professions is going to give them anything, all it did was wastetime making carbines noone is gonna use except the few people who were SL's in the first place. I think if they would have been thinking clearly they would have added more content for the professions instead of trying to bribe people to become thembecause of thecool weapons.They should have gave the professions more utility instead of handing them cool weapons. Guess that will be part of the profession overhauls they are planning, certing cool weapons. 
*edit* Jesus christnot even mentioning the fact that the dev's gave bounty hunters WAY too much in the first place. Plus the best carbine if the stats stay what i have seen them at. I say if they want the carbines they pick up carbineer. But i guess all the noob's whining finally got their way and MBH became the end-all of everything.
At least the elite still looks cool 
Don't mind me, im pissed because i worked for almost 2 years for nothing

Czerka corportion thanks you
As a Master of Carbines how could you ever expect to use exactly those weapons that you are supposed to be master at? LMAO Go figure ... SOE's idiotic un-logic

OK, I will take up this ridiculous topic again....
Each prof deserves unique, specific weapons that make then unique, right? Well what would you rather call them, a BH widget or SL thingy? Or would all you folks feel better if they were just called Pistols or Rifles? The PROPER logic from SOE is to give the other profs unique, specific weapons that fall under a current category of weapon so they don't have to write tons of new code for a whole new weapon style.
And how many guns can you use at one time? Yes we lack some versitility in damage types, but that can be done with our existing weapons....do we really need NINE Energy Carbines?
Have you even looked at the stats on all the Carbines? The Proton Carbine is a bit high but it is a Loot Schem Weapon so it will be a bit more rare and it is only a few % points more in DPS anyways. So do we really need to take the gun out of the hands of other people just to get an identical performing weapon? Sure doesn't sound fair to me.
Are you looking at the actual requirements for weapons now? The are based on COMBAT LEVEL and not skill boxes for the most part, so instead of just a handful of weapons we can use about 90% of all weapons in the game now.
For once I wish all the greedy people around here would think about the people on the other side of the fence for just TWO SECONDS......some just want everything with no regard to what they are taking away from other profs.

Master = master ... anything else is below.All that talk is just beating around the bush.
Nope, there is no reason a plain Master Carbineer should have access to specific, unique weapons from another Master Box like BH or SL or any prof you want to name.
And this is never changing so debating the issue is pointless, I would NEVER suggest that weapons be removed from other profs just to provide Carbineer with duplicate weapons.
The bottom line is the game must be fun for all players of all profs, and suggesting that ONLY a Master Carbineer can use ANY Carbine (which isn't exactly what you said but exactly the net result of what you want) is just not fun and fair.
. It's a nice looking weapon, it's Star Wars iconic... there's probably MBH / MCommandowho would die to have it... as usual the grass always appears greener on the other side.

Hey, if you want to use the EP-5 then feel free to Master Squad Leader. Be warned though, we were hit over the head with a shovel by the CU, but I'm not going to complain.. any little bit I can do to help a group is a bonus... and the EP-5 is a concession prize. Besides, the highest DPSCarbine I've seen so far is the Elite Mark II. It's a nice looking weapon, it's Star Wars iconic... there's probably MBH / MCommandowho would die to have it... as usual the grass always appears greener on the other side.
We have an Elite or E11 Mk.2
And the Proton Carbine is the highest DPS Carbine.....nobody can get one yet because it is a loot schem carbine.

That's funny. As a fomer Squad leader I was under the distinct impression that squad leaders wanted to be, well, squad leaders and not carbineers. Gosh, I guess I'm just silly sometimes.

I don't think TAFirehawk grasps the meaning of "master" at all.
A master of carbines is "THE MASTER" of such weaponry!!
A master of bounty hunting is exactly that ... he masters bounty hunting.Not carbines!
A squad leader leads squads,not masters carbines!
No other profession should have certs in carbines or be granted carbines above and beyond what the master of the carbine profession has.It's idiotic to say the least.
