Then again, if you combine all of the combat styles associated with engineering in the lore, you've got something like nine or ten specs worth of material. Everything from gunslingers, mech pilots and airmen on down through sappers, apothecaries and artillerymen. Do they all have the "technology" theme? Yes. Is the technology theme broad enough to contain several classes? Also yes.
But again, nobody's asking for four or five tech classes. One would be nice.
