yeah. the more i think about it, the more it seems like cybernetic vision mag should only be useful with smartlinked weapons, or partially useful with reflex/laser/magic voodoo sights.
the only way i could see cybernetic mag being useful is if you came up with a new piece of cyberware, some sort of sensory processor that would allow you to focus your eyes independently but still collate the visual data they take in. that way, one eye could keep the sights in visual focus, while the other eye zooms in on the target; the sensory processor would allow you to combine those data into a workable sight picture. you'd still take a hit, though, since you really need both eyes for depth perception, but i'd probably allow such a system to reduce the using-iron-sights-with-cybernetic-mag modifier to +2 or so. |

I believe the TN at Extreme Range with a Smartlink/Rangefinder combo is 5, not 6. |

I was so happy to find that combo in my last game I almost peed.

Vision Mag 3 with an Extended Laser Sight gives you a (base) TN of 3 at any range. |

Great, now he's gonna make a mess on the carpet. We just had it cleaned. This is why we can't have nice things!

Up to 500 metres at night, and 150 during the day or with reasonable lighting, right? |

The extended range one is what, 500? Buying the standard for anything bigger than a pistol is like buying a smartlink 1.
