The few times one of my players fiddled around in the matrix, he already
seemed practically invulnerable, even though he was using a standard deck
(Fuchi-4 or -6, I think), and using the basic SR2 rules. No matter how
hard we tried that decker dogfight, nobody got hurt...not even one box of
damage...and you're saying that a feedback fuse would prevent damage even
further...
