I think they went about it all wrong... Cybernetics should be something you can choose as extras, like scars... not as a race... if it was a race, like it is now, i would expect cybernetic arms and/or legs
My 2 cents... Slicing is for people who dont want to craft... Take 2 mission skills (they all have pros an cons) and Slicing and you dont have to bother crafting stuff... Not everyone likes that you know o.o I do tho... So go the recommended skills!
How does it work when two troopers walk into a bar and they both have a class quest there? How does the story aspect work? Do they have to do it twice? One at a time?
