Haven't actually gone for a test-drive yet, but I'm pleased with what I see. There are no earth-shaking changes, just tweaks, and usually to the good (like, a 60-pt. Flash is Body-count on 12d6, and that's how many segments you're Flashed, instead of it being 6d6 and Phases which means low-SPD people get shafted).
One thing I'm not sure about, and maybe this was in the Big Blue Book and I just missed it, is what they call a "Multiple Power Attack". That is, you can fire multiple attacks with one hit roll, as long as they're not in a Multipower (or EC, either? I forget). That strikes me as four hundred kinds of b0rken. I suppose if it only works for characters who don't have their powers in a Framework, it gives them a cookie, but who the hell builds characters like that?
