Hello peoples!

One of my character's is a melee fighter/bioware specialist. I've boosted her fairly well with bioware, but intend to take it much further with Beta- or Delta-ware. What I'm not sure about it what it takes to create a piece of bioware.

From Growing Organs/Clones, Augmentation p126: Cloning an organ requires a medical facility, a tissue sample, and a Medicine (Organ Culture) + Logic (6, 1 hour) Extended Test to get started. The actual growth time varies by organ, as noted on the Body Part table.

I'm thinking:
  • A medical facility and cybertechnology shop are required to manufacture bioware.
  • Halve the cost of the product as you don't need to pay for labour. Standard availability rules apply.
  • Roll an extended Cybertechnology (Bioware) + Logic (6, 1 hour) test until the bioware is prepared.
  • Glitches reduce the grade of the product by one level. A critical glitch kills the specimen.
  • Wait the number of weeks listed in the table in the Body Part table, Augmentation p127. Double this time for bioware above standard grade. The cybertechnologist must attend to the bioware daily to ensure proper growth.
  • The transplant is a separate expense and extended test, as per the Implant Surgery table, Augmentation p127.

Does this sound reasonable?
