<snicker> I just changed my ork sam/type thingee guy to a mage, figure its
easier (and more fun) than having him implode in a month when M&M comes out.
(Better than the troll golaie that was pretty much maxed out on cyber and
bio already, he would probably go with enough force to create a nice sized
black hole)

Which brings me to the subject;
Any idea on what suggestions were made for converting? or was it simply
"well, change the equipment and deal with the results"?
