[Shiver]..That brings back bad memories...Some of the guys on my team
got uneasy..and ended up attacking a LS cruiser..Blew it all the
pieces..But ended up getting tagged be a drone and SWAT X2 showed up
on our doorstep shortly there after...UGH! My character ended up
doing 3 years..1 with good time...

I personally don't like any of these so called improvements..They are
all too damgerous..A PC can croak and not even realise he is injured
in the first place...No thanks...

In the short term perhaps...It might get a body through a single
conflict..But if they have to go on dialasys because they got bullet
holes in both kidneys..It doesn't really make for a good trade off..

Or any other kind for that matter..unless they are specialists..And
that of course means more -Y-
