I think some of the greatest weak points are actually in magic items, 
especially the Flesh armor enchantments, and Reverse Missiles, and 
self-powered ones in particular. Having those on all the time, on 
people who are also quite skilled, makes them able to handle many 
normal-range opponents with very little risk, even if some critical hits land.

So making those nearly unavailable can help a lot.

The to-hit curve ending at 16 is another issue. Being stingy with EP 
can help that.

In our case, it was partly the power issues, but moreso the lack of 
detail and possibilities. GURPS helped us in both areas.
