Was only in for a short time, but did get a chance to look at the squad leader tree. Though I didnt notice any new specials, I did see some surprises (for me at least)
E5 Carbine (I think, may have been rifle)
Beam Rifle
Intimidator Pistol (Master SL)
We also get Assault Armor certification

Yup. We'll see more about it all as time goes on, but that pistol is very very nice. The E5 is a carbine so SL gets a rifle, pistol and carbine. It will combine well with any range prof you take. Plus the weapons aren't exactly standard faire so there are a few extra tricks you can pull with them (at least the pistol.)

I didnt get to look long enough to notice.
Since we get to use pistol, carbine and rifle; do we get the speed and accuracy modifiers in the tree as well or do we have to learn them from other trees?
Also, I didnt really notice specific Pistol Acc or Rifle Acc, Just saw "General Ranged Acc or Spee". Am I wrong about this or does this mean that if youre say a Master Pistoleer and a good shot and youve got a few boxes in carbineer and rifle are you still just as good a shot with rifle or cabine that you were with master pistoleer, just that you can only use the specials and cert weapons that you get in those boxes?
Or am I just totally wrong?

The General Ranged applies to all ranged weapons. Say you have Pistols Speed +40 and General Ranged Speed +10, you have an effective +50 with Pistols and +10 with rifles and carbines.
The SL weapons are pretty neat... but I think I like the melee & ranged defense and general ranged mods more! Effectiveness!
It's just a beam "weapon"

Very glad with the weapons, they are some of the coolest new ones out. Unhappy that our boxes are still pretty much empty and some of our skill icons aren't upgraded just yet. I'll have to dabble in pistols now to use that kick ass intimidator. I hope boost morale is changed, it STILL says wounds . I know we get a full revamp but right now i'm not really impressed with the SL stuff.

LordMaxx said himself in the pistoleer forums that the reason pistoleers arent getting many "new" weapons is that they have so many, currently redundant, weapons that are being redone to make them useful.
I'm pretty sure there are more pistols ingame than any other type of weapon, problem is most are anything but useful.

Yes... the devs are trying to push the pistol as the most recognizable weapon in the game.
It make sense given its prominance in the movies.
But it is true, the existing pistoleer pistols are being reworked so that each one will be more useful.

Yes, and from what I recall the weapons certed in the skill lines are the ones that show up in the Weaponsmith trees. Loot drops (even craftable drops like the DE-10) don't show up in the skill lines.
Personally? I'm a MP/MSL. I'm likely to take some carbineer with the SP I am going to get back from dropping medic and 14 from scout.
