If you only skimmed through V3 you are missing a lot of the potentials.
a) Strip the universe, keep the rules
The Fuzion rules engine is an updated and modernised version of CP's Interlock killing many of CP's problems like "Special Abilities". The Version in CP3 is tailored for Cyberpunk so it differs from the free version on the Net (available in Print from RTal) quite a bit.
Using the rules engine with the CP background was how I started my transfer from 2020
Mine the Book
While some of the concepts in the book are hard to stomach (Whaleboys, Desnai, Crash/Book-eating virus) most are useabel. And the same is true for quite a few concepts like the self-growing city, the scattering of the net etc. We had nanotech in DeepSpace (one of the Mars bases) and quite a few of the new cyber gears make a lot of sense (i,e the Nomad stuff)
I'd say "ditto" but that would lack imagination. I think most of Pocket's beefs are mine as well. I like the system for the most part. The Reefers, Riptide, and Desnai are not good ideas (my opinion only, by the way), I also don't like the Datacrash nor do I like the "paper eating virus".
Now rather than "piss and moan" and say "v3 sucks" and what not I plan on doing something about it. I am going make my own universe using the Fuzion rules. Upon completion I'll be putting up on my Yahoo Groups site. If anyone is interested in my finished work I'll be putting up a like somewhere here. It will be free and R.Talsorian Games will be given proper credit. I think I'll even add some elements of Dream Pod 9's stuff as optional rules.

Well everyone, wish me luck!
