Shoot for the eyes and other unarmored-type spots. ;)  There's a reason your 
typical Shooter should have +10 to hit, not to mention the +2 more for the 
Goliath's Size factored in...

Well, that is a kinda interesting point.  If you've already got an 
established campaign, the players have picked the Deltas (and their power 
packages) that they want...ummm, what good does new power packages do 
_them_?  Do we really want players rushing out and saying, "Hey, I just got 
Defiants - I think I'll be a Bomber now!"

Unless you have a relatively high turnover in your campaign (through death, 
player boredom with a PC, whatever), keep in mind that most "new" power 
packages are mostly a tool for the Guide.

(Although the idea of a group of PC Bombers - and nothing but Bombers - 
kinda amused our group...)
