As much as I'm disappointed with many of the rules and concepts in SR4, some of the gear has merit. Indeed, some of the gear not only has merit but is unavailable in SR3.

It's time to change that. Propose pieces of gear from SR4 you want in SR3R and we'll hash out rules for them. Keep in mind that nothing's likely to be finalized here until all of the rules relevant to the gear are sorted out, but it'll give something to do while letting ideas stew on other areas of the system. Note that I'm not as concerned about getting the exact same item as I am about achieving a similar effect (for instance, Item 1 below uses an Autosoft in SR4, while I don't much care if it does or not in SR3R).

1) Smart Firing Platform (SR4 page 311)

A portable tripod with a drone brain and combat autosoft costing ¥2,000. Allows for a 180-degree firing arc (maybe too generous? Makes bookkeeping easier, though I'm still inclined to go with 120 or so) with 60-degree elevation (should probably reduce this as well—for reference, vehicle turrets get 45-degree elevation, 75 with AA capability). Any gun can be put on top, though it needs to be smartlinked.

Any thoughts on how to do this? I'd like to keep the price for the platform itself low, under ¥10k if possible.

2) Miniwelder (SR4 page 327)

Granted this one's not so much from SR4. Proposal: take the tool laser eye-mod, reduce the price, slap a conceal rating and a weight on it and call it external. By canon you can only get tool lasers for your eyes.

Maybe it's all a plot to help Ares sell cybereyes.

Any thoughts? Other gear requests?
