I don't wanna change the system so much as change any stats that I think
are wrong ... (no offense, Mr Szeto :)

Hmmm... Do you mean the Quality Factors? Yes, the thought occured to me
... as well as applying it Bio/Cyberware ... (anybody interested in a
Prototype Move-By-Wire system? <EG>)

It's great rulebook but I think some of the stats are off ... It's my
favorite SB, second only to VR 2.0

It'll be work and I'll have more time for it during the summer but, IMO,
it'll be worth it :)
I'm using RL physics to figure out the stats then I'll switch em to R2
and maybe modify a game mechanism or 2 ... I'll try not to as much as
possible though :)
