Does the essence cost of titanium bone lacing seem high to anyone else? Aluminu
m is ok at 1.15 essence, but losing an additional 1.0 essence for putting 5kgs
more metal seems ridiculous. The body's systems wouldn't really react worse to
one metal lacing the bone than the other. I know that there is a question of ga
me balence, but wired reflexes 3 cost "only" 5/3 the cost of wr-2 (this is the
highest increase ratio in SR, other than bone lacing). Putting tit. bones on th
e same scale would have them costing 1.9 essence, which should be balancing eno
ugh, after all its only +1 body and +1 ball. armor. What do all of you it net-l
and think?

Thanx,
Jeff
