Ok seeing as symbiotes are normal bioware and not cultured can you get cultured symbiotes and have them work better?

I don't think you'd get more healing time taken off... Just less Bio Index (And they don't count themselves, so...), as well as a drop in cash.

You can culture symbiotes. However, this only lowers their bio-index cost, it does not make them work better.

it might make them work better indirectly, since total bio index has an effect on healing, first aid, and doctoring.

While this is true, according to the new errata the Bio-Index for Symbiotes is not added in when calculating those penalties.

Thanks chummers if I have more questions i'll ask.
Although it would be cool in
some cases if you cultured
certain bioware though
not all bioware that you got double the effect.
I say not all because the munchkins would love a +8 to strength & quickness for 2.4 bio index and for only the low low cost of 720,000

.
But anywho like I said thanks.

Aren't cultured tailored pheremones more powerful than the standard model? I don't have my books handy to look right now, but I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Yup. Double the effect.

Sounds like E.O.T.L.F has his wish then!

Plus the cultured cerebral booster are significantly better than the non-cultered ones. Same with Mem Enhancer.

Better than non-existant?

Psst, Machinae... neural implants are cultured already. There are no non-cultured versions.

Eh...Mem Enhancer and Cerebral Booster are only available as cultured bioware. That's factored into their cost and bio-index impact already.

And Sphynx is the winner of the sarcasm award!
I KNOW you can only buy cultured Cerebral Boosters (in the book), but you gotta know that they have non-cultured ones too. Heck, just use someone else's DNA.
sheesh.
I was being FUNNY. The idea of putting non-capatible brain matter in .... ? Hence my statement. The cultured stuff works better.
