Hi there,
While looking for another augmentations i stumbled upon an oddity. The terhertz radar sensor for drones is a device which allows you to wallhack everything up to several hundred meters only limited by the barrier rating of walls. Such a powerful spying device with high abuse potential is sensefully restricted so heres my question : Why is the cyberware version in the augmentation book on p36 not restricted? It is the same device just built into a natural metahuman body even the sensory output is redirectable to any trid or screen. So whats is going on here, any ideas why? |

Do you mean the UWB Radar sensor that lets you see through 1 to 4 walls and has a max range of 100m, and is vulnerable to jamming?
In Arsenal, it's 8R, and in Augmentation, the cyber version is 12-. Yes, it's quite a neat little toy. I wouldn't say it's dangerously powerful. It is odd that the Avail/Legal don't quite match up. Oh well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Typical frequencies used in UWB radar detection are too small (that is, the wavelength is too large) to generate significant currents in an antenna the size of a tinfoil hat, unless it's like a tinhoil Papal mitre.

I now have a burning urge to create a paranoid schizophrenic character who wears a tinfoil mitre and is referred to as the Tinfoil Pope.
