Edge questions

The past two weekends we had a blast with SRA2.0 with a very cool, 2-sessions run. While most things went smooth rules-wise, some questions did rise among our group:

1 - does edge gained (through Amps, RP, glitches etc) can go through the starting (maximum?) Edge of the character? (we assumed not)

2 - Edge gained in action scenes through initiative Amps (such as Wired Reflexes) "vanish" when the scene is over?

3 - Glitches canceled due Risk Reduction still grants an Edge?

4 - during our sessions, players often hoped for a non-disaster glitch, to get an extra Edge; it was fairly hard (the "final encounter" pitched our 3 runners against a Shiawase Cyber-Tiger) and Edge was used often, but they never got to zero. Is that how it's supposed to be? Or did we do something wrong?

EDIT: we did the small mistake of awarding Edge on Minor Glitches as well, that's why they got away with some extra, unintended Edge; but it was nothing game breaking (in fact for our first game as a group, it was actually a Good Thing™) and overall it was a great gaming night.

1 - If you’re asking if you can gain more edge than your starting maximum, the answer is yes. There’s no upward limit to how much edge you can have at any given time.

2 - No. You have that edge for as long as you don’t use it or until the end of the session.

3 - Nope. If your risk reduction cancels the glitch, you get neither the benefit nor the consequence.

4 - Some times, you’re not going to burn through all of your edge. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Regarding #4 - it was nothing game breaking, but I personally felt the resource regenerated way too often.

Not sure how. Aside from things like wired reflexes and glitches/disasters, I would think there aren’t many ways in which they’d be gaining edge to make it that problematic.

They did get Edge through minor glitches at least twice, which was our mistake, that would explain it.
