Converted from Phorums BB System

I've taken a quick look at a copy of CORPS at a local gaming store and read two reviews on it, and I'm wondering how much difference there is between CORPS and GURPS.

So far I can see that both systems have the same stat bias, where Agi and Awr or DX and IQ are what most skills are based off, higher scores in both will make skills cheaper and therefore lead to a lot of high Agi/Awr DX/IQ characters.

I'm seeing 1 second combat rounds in both.

I'm seeing 100 point characters recomended for both.

I'm seeing Universal/Omniversal used way too loosely, as both don't appear to be either.

I'm seeing a heavy modern day bias, not much support in the main supplement for Sci-Fi, lots for modern day and not as much for fantasy (although GURPS would appear to have more in that department).

There's advantages and disadvantages, which do the same thing.

Same naming structure (CO instead of GU).

Anyway, I'm seeing a LOT of similarities, some which don't matter so much to me and others which I wish were different from GURPS, and I'm wondering what's in CORPS that really sets it appart from GURPS.
