I understand the elite professions are now available on the blue-frogs. Has the pistol xp requirement for SL advancement been changed? And generally how goes the testing? Is there any news or feedback from devs about changing the pistol xp requirement to combat xp or to SL xp as it is now?

Not an SL myself, just cruising the forums reading about CU changes. But, the combat medics got their pre-req changed from pistols back to ranged support, according to a dev that posted in response to a thread asking for opinions on that matter. So, with the proper show of support for an idea, you could quite possibly get the change you're hoping for.

In the doorway of Glory he found Death who put his hand in hers and said, "Now, come home now."
"Soon," he said.

Exactly - novice SL should be based on combat XP, because it doesn't matter (or shouldn't) which weapon you use, it matters how much you understand about combat. It should be possible to have a melee-based SL... in fact, that fits in well with what I'm proposing as changes to Scout that would impact the path to get SL in a way that balances SL for ranged and melee combatants, and gives you some junior SL-like abilities from scout while you're training.

Take a look at it and let me know if you think it could work...
