okay, the Snake Eyes cyber in R3 gave me an idea. what if you could get cyber implanted as a package deal? packaged cyber would take Stress as a whole--that is, if one piece of the package takes stress, they all do--and must also be upgraded/replaced as a whole.

i reverse-engineered Snake Eyes to get the price, and it comes out to be .8x essence cost (like alphaware), and .9x nuyen cost. use the highest availability and SI of the component pieces. the GM must approve all package deals; he's perfectly within his rights to rule that cybereyes cannot be packaged with hydraulic leg jacks. a good rule of thumb is that if two implants share at least one body area (head, torso, limb, etc.), then they may be packaged. this means that you could package cybereyes with hydraulic leg jacks, if you included bone lacing in the deal. GMs should, ideally, put together packages that are common in their particular game, and offer only those at the discounted nuyen cost; custom packages would cost +10%, instead of -10%.

so, opinions. is this fun for all the boys and girls, or too hot for TV?
