[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 3594014, member: 1225"] I like the new system (I vastly prefer it over the old system), but I think it could use some improvement (e.g., improving how you handle low-probability of success shots -- the drop from "1-in-3" to "no chance" is too steep; and the "impossible shots" with Edge are, IIRC, a little too easy with the rules as written). Unfortunately, it'll probably take another edition/revision to do it. The hacking rules do have a lot of vague areas, and really should account for the hacker's attributes, somehow. It's very easy for a starting PC hacker to have all his most useful programs at rating 6, leaving little room for growth. (When we were actively playing, I had more detailed ideas on what I saw as flaws with the system; but we haven't played in 9-10 months, so it's all faded. Maybe we'll get back to it, once they put some books out, and everybody but the mage has some place to spend nuyen & Karma. :) ) [/QUOTE]
