I'm a little curious if/how people can run Empathy Software at 5 or 6.
What I'm seeing: Cybereyes/Glasses: Limited to rating 4. (Goggles can go to 6 but negotiating with goggles on seems so off that I can see the empathy software responding with "Thinks you're a freak"). Commlink operating system: Semi-Limited to rating 4. (It can be modded with a threshold/interval of System Rating x 2 and 6 months. Um... Yeah...) Optimization: "Only Common Use (p. 226, SR4), Hacking (p. 226, SR4), Autosoft (p. 240, SR4, and p. 112), and Simsense programs (including BTLs and skillsofts) may be equipped with program options." No luck there. Am I missing something or is empathy software pretty much capped at 4? (I'm sure I'm missing something. I still haven't figured out how the sample Hacker got his Erika Elite to a System 5.) |
