If you get a cyberarm with a UCCP, can you detach it at the wrist/elbow too? Or only at the shoulder?

My character has a modular lower arm, and so far the GM has allowed me to swap out the hand for a hand-drone. He won't, however, allow me to swap out the gyro mount, so I had to buy an extra modular limb to plug into the socket whenever I need to not be holding.

Plug and Play. I´d say have fun, but how will you handle capacity? Decucting the capacity of hand/lower arm from the capacity of the whole arm? What costs are associated with a UCCP?

Go for your life, except at some point you should have to make a test for having it pop off when it takes a hit. For the sheer hilarity.

iirc, there's some discussion about this in the "ask the developers about augmentation" thread.

as i recall, the answers were: yes, you can detach a modular cyberarm at the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. yes, just subtract the appropriate capacity for the part you're removing (note: you will have to keep track of what accessory is in which part of the cyberlimb if you want this level of detail).

but look up the thread for more certain results

Actually, I was just looking at the book, and noticed something:
Aug, 45, "Modular cyberlimbs feature a universal cyberware connector plug (UCCP) just below the wrist, elbow, ankle, or knee joint, allowing them to be easily detached and re-attached."

They can't detach at the shoulder/hip at all.

well . . it IS an improvement as you could only switch out hands/feet in SR3 . . come SR5, you will be able to switch whole body parts on the fly *g* . . hrm . . technically speaking with cyborgs you are able to switch whole BODIES on the fly . . so why not . . most GM's will probably let it fly *g*

Actually, with cyborgs, the CCU is its body, beyond that, its just a fancy rigger.
