Are all Capacities Equal, eyes vs. ears vs. limbs Options

[Egon]

I like the idea of capacity ratings instead of the free essence holes that cyberware used to give you to fill. It make better sense. I think there is a problem however. There are ears and eyes that have a capacity of 16 but an arm only has a capacity of 15. Now I am not about to say you can stick a SMG in your ear, (ok you could, but not in the way I mean), but, what about a commlink. It has a capacity cost of 2. 2 of what kind of capacity who knows its not in the limb eye or ear section.

I think They made an error when they set up the eye and ear capacity in this way. I don't know if they meant to set up 3 systems of capacity, or the just wanted to keep the math easy, but I think they really should have made the capacity on the eye and ear less, and the capacity cost of the small gear less as well. This way capacity would always mean the same thing.

Here is a house rule that I think will make thing clearer. All gear not in the cyber limb section will have its capacity divided by 4. example:

cyberears rating 3 capacity 3
Audio Enhancement rating 3: capacity cost .75
Dampener: capacity cost .25
Select Sound Filter rating 3: capacity cost .75
DataJack: capacity cost .25
CommLink: capacity cost .5
