 take 55.  And, what does that mean?  For 55 XP, players can buy a second
 Power Package.  Granted, it's arguing semantics, but I've already had it
 pointed out by two of my players.  (They wanted the Tough and Flyer

    You forgot the tricks.   Yes the power seems light but don't forget on 2 
(or 3) successess they can make their hack untraceable, which in the day and 
age of computers is very powerful.
    Yes maybe it is not a good player package (I run shadowrun and I do use 
deckers but only if they can do something else too) but it is nice haveing an 
idea of what such a person could do.   After all look at what hackers are 
doing now and then think what Delta hackers could do.
