Chargen sound like a very well thought out system.  Greatly simplifies on
the complications of CT.  I wonder though, and truly novice characters.  Do
the rules have any way to choose only 1 or 2 career packages?

One thing on the damage:
    "I like this because better shots are more likely to hit center mass and
do more damage."

Firing at center of mass is intended to maximize the chance of hitting.
Where center of mass is on the targets body may depend on cover.  It won't
necessarily be more damaging.

Otherwise, the combat system seems a little abstract for my taste.
Personally, I *like* moving miniatures around on a map.  :)  Same for the
world detail.

I might have to pick this up some time, for the chargen ideas if nothing
else.
