The changes/eliminations of ARS, Redundant Shielding and AGB were necessitated by the shift from a static damage chart to a customizable one. Much too difficult to point cost with the new version.
Advanced ECM was removed because I wasn't happy with the games of "one-upmanship" that it seemed to endorse...
