Or just buy Guns-32 and DX20 (which is plenty of just about anything), save 160 points to buy lots of supporting skills (many of which aren't DX based) and advantages. My SF game has people with Guns-28-32 in it, and they don't need techniques, and in fact have ignored them in favour of just being better at everything.

Generally, I've found that being able to see when no one else can is pretty much an "I Win" button against anything that isn't an awesomely powerful supernatural horror of some sort.

Which is why having night vision of some sort and fighting in the dark is a popular move.
