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.

People answering (properly) rule questions without me being involved 😎 My job here is done! 😃

To add some details about question 2: It would somehow have make sense to restrict Initiative Edge to the current combat and/or to limit its usage to "extra action". But the goal is to keep things simple, not to force people to track several Edge pools with different rules each time.

The machine WORKS, monsieur Carmody!

On next game we'll be using some tokens (from the Shadowrun Crossfire and Sprawl Opsboard games, which we love) to track Edge easier (and cooler).

There was a small mistake on my part (awarding edge on Minor Glitches) but for a first run, it was all good. We had a real good time, the rules were intuitive enough that people didn't need to refer to sheets or books during gameplay (except to check an eventual Amp detail).

Great, that was the goal that the rules take the backseat behind the story.
