Ah, thanks.  Since the power is listed as "Rocket Man" in the Junker book, 
silly us, we did a search for the term "Rocket Man" and came up with 
nothing.

Once you do a search for the term "rocketman" (one word), it comes up.

Just as a note, in the servings list, it says this problem was noted 6/14/99 
and that it would get added to the errata.  That was...10 months ago.  It's 
not in the Cyborg Sourcebook's errata.  Ummm, is there some other list of 
more recent errata that we can reference that this change (and any others) 
would appear in?  If we could refer to it, then we wouldn't have to bother 
John and/or the list with those kind of questions.

Ummm, like this one.  What does the "Increased Damage" facet of Weaponsmith 
_do_, exactly?  Going from the Chainsword example a few pages on, it seems 
to increase the damage _die_ by one type.  But do the # of die involved make 
a difference?  It seems like raising a 1d4 dice weapon to 1d6 would be 
cheaper than raising, say, a 3d8 damage to 3d10 (as the Chainsword kinda 
does, although Extra Damage is also involved).

There seems to be no actual description of what this facet does in the 
Weaponsmith listing.  And there's no listing for it under revealed by a 
search for either Weaponsmith or Weapon Smith (the latter no doubt being a 
notorious Gun Spirit/builder guy working out of Junkyard ;) ).  Or under 
Junker: Weaponsmith, either.
