I don't like the fact that they added beta and deltaware bioware. Cultivated bioware was supposed to mean it was cloned from your own cells, and thus was an exact match to your physiology. I don't buy their explanation of better protein-matching, etc.

On a related note, compare deltaware wired reflexes 3 and cultivated (which it is by default) synaptic booster 3. They do the *exact* same thing. Synaptic booster 3 costs 1.50 Essence and 240,000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) . Deltaware Wired Reflexes 3 costs 2.5 Essence and ONE MILLION (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) , more than four times as much and for 5/3 the Essence.

On a related note, this would make Type O System a worthwhile quality as it would be the only way to get Deltaware bioware (because your system accepts it more easily), and it would make it MUCH easier for Infected with the Regeneration power, since the deltaware-only rule for their implants would be amended for bioware and they could get implants cheaper and at character creation. Surgery shouldn't be too difficult with the ones which have Allergies; just expose them to the allergen while you have them cut open, then remove it so they can heal. Presto, instant recovery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
