I'm not sure I would allow for unlimited power (IE Built in weapon
systrems), 
but U could have High Str, reflexes, built in Combat Computers.  Or much
the 
like teh "staple" Cyberpunk runners.

Oh I figure any less then 10 to 1 ex-marine, would be to few.  :-)

Well, it sounds cool but it creates a lot of potential balance problems.

We have under costed items in DS 2 when things run to about what 7 to 8
systems (HVC, RFAC, HEL, MDC, HKP, DFFG, SLAM, GMS)  it would require a
lot of play testing to 'cost out' the cyberware stuff especially at
lower
levels where one uber character could really affect balance.  YMMV.

I agree that it will need to balanced, not real sure that at DS level 
Cyberwear, would be effective, well but for vehicle crews are fully
interfaced with 
their fighting vehicles.  And where I do have SG but have yet to play,
I'm not 
sure what it would take to see balancing in it.  But I wouldn't mind
seeing 
it.  

Have a Good One,
