I'd also disagree with the idea that the PE is a JoaT. They may draw their potency from more areas than the other classes, but that means they require a higher degree of specialisation.
If there is a JoaT in NC, it's the Spy. They have enough skill points available that speccing recycle, vehicle use and/or hacking (and other skills) does not impact their viability as much as if a PE were to do the same.
I probably did go a bit far with the dragon drugs though.
