One other thing, as you may not have noticed not being a major 4th ed-er; Ultra Tech is the weakest most rushed book second only to the copy paste that is Magic. I think the way it set up Cybernetics is wonky and easily abused compared to nearly all other R.A.W. book advantage set examples.
Kromm's suggestion of what the -70% includes and how to decrease the problem is great. But it doesn't say how to increase it and stay balanced.
I like magic-tech settings sometimes, but I don't think just slapping a +10% Magical on it is balanced.
