That is, unless you were going for a full cyber body?
1.5 essence for a "shell" (not a replacement) that still comes with physical stats of 3, which would require 99% of runners to pump more money into it to get the stats to match their physical norms. Torsos do have a decent amount of capacity, but you can't put actually useful things like hydrolic jacks or gyromounts in them. Well, I guess you probably could, but they wouldn't have any use. You can pump it full of armor, which I believe the max would be 10 points, but even then it would apply to the 1/5 rule for cyber armor, so you'd get an unimpressive +2/+2 for the expenditure. I guess it's great if you want to add 1 point to your condition monitor and put in multiple free internal air tanks... |
