Improved the power-level formula to give more appropriate weight to cyberware as well as to include combat skills. Everyone will see a difference, and it should reflect actual power more effectively.

This doesn't make people stronger or weaker. You will see the same results in combat as you always have. It affects gang points gains in wars (PvP) and XP gains mostly.

I always saw the lil XP bump we got from beating borgs as a nice way of balancing their slow healing time.

Interesting change.

Powerlevel reflects your potential strength in combat. The number is arbitrary on its own. It's primary use is to compare the attacker with the defender.

The code we had was flawed. Cyberware stat bonuses had too much weight compared to natural stats. Skills weren't included. This resulted in some odd results in pvp wars where two opponents who could actually beat each other showed up as one being more powerful than the other.

This issue caused some players to be next to useless in gang wars (pvp). This change should correct this issue. In addition, from what I am seeing most people are gaining a little more XP than they use to.
