Emerald City & Lone Star’s New Security Ratings
Maded:
Aside from guesswork based upon reading through Emerald City and Sixth World Companion, I must have missed any direct translation of the older Zone Ratings to the new Lone Star security ratings. Can anyone pop those up here? Thanks!
Michael Chandra:

You didn't miss anything! The CRB doesn't talk about Security Zones in a corporate-specific way. It was boneheaded to change them for flavor in Emerald City.
It's bad design to rename game mechanics for in-universe reasons. Like if Ares weapons started calling their firing modes Justice, Double Tap, Stay Down, and Bullet Freedom and appeared in the Gear Section as J/DT/SD/BF. What a mess.

But SR does do that sometimes. Like the techno-color Matrix security of the first few editions.

Yeah, I was a bit harsh, but obvs they should have listed the equivalent next to it.
