Why wouldn't you allow it? It's not abusive. It's really more flavor then anything else.

Actually I thought the RAW was extremely well written, maybe a bit too restrictive actually. An eye placed anywhere other than in an eye-socket took some TN penalties to tasks coordinated sole-ly by that eye. (Whereas in RL the brain isn't at all picky about what kind of sensory input it gets, typically after a week or two of use the new way of looking at the world is almost 'turned on' like a switch and your brain accepts the new input as if that was the way things have always been. There are huge strides made in using ultrasound to allow the blind to see, even though the current set ups are incredibly crude compared to what existing technology could likely build, users are able to distinguish knives from forks and tell how many fingers you are holding up.) |

I don’t think getting around rating limits buy installing multiple copies of cyber wear is cheating. Your paying the essence again and the cash again. And its not going to be useful as often (how often would you not be able to just swap out your 2 max level programs)
The biggest problem is that they would conflict with each other. Instead I would allow an implant that runs rating *4 rating points of activsofts for twice the price and twice the essence. Availability +2. I see no balance or logical reason not to allow such an implant Edward |

Though you can have more than one datajack... skillwires run through your entire nervous system.. to attempt to put more than one set would encourage signal crosstalk and maybe even nerve damage... If you want to look like an epileptic going through a grand mal fit - sure, but I don't think it'd be effective.... |
