hi there.
i have ran into a problem regarding cyberlimbs and the devices you can build into them. you see, my character has lost his right forearm and got it replaced by a cybernetic lower arm. the problem arose when i caught sight of the cyberarm gyromount found in the M&M (p. 36). even though the arm could support the ECU in question for the device, the description staes that you have to have a full cyberarm in order to instal it. and this is really bugging me... talking with my friends about the problem, we reached the conclusion that the gyromount would need more room than a lower arm could offer (in spite of the 4 ECU) for the motor that has to propel the counterweights. the motor would have to be located in the upper arm while the mechanics and counterweights are councealed in the lower arm. now for my question: is there a way of working around the rules and somehow installing the gyromount in a partial cyberlimb? would this have an essence cost like some build-in devices have? or do you think the whole point about the gyromount having to be installed in a complete cyberarm is just misleading? thanks in advance. :) |
