Not at all. I'm just aware of the engineering compromises that take place in the "all-in-one" hardware business.

IMO, it's rather difficult to make a very overpowered suite. They don't give *that* much discount which would allow any significant extras to be shoved in there-small ones yes. But if they wanted a particular combo, they could just take Biocompatibility: Cyberware and then just plug themselves full of ware to their hearts content.

Even having BOTH is difficult, since likely the suite will contain all of the ''big stuff'' (reflexes, etc), already. They can be made a bit twinky, sure, but I wouldn't worry too hard about them getting out of hand. I suppose if I REALLY tried I could make an overpowered set, but again, I don't see them being terrible.

If you think that's necessary, for some reason, to balance out otherwise overpowered cyberware suites, knock yourself out. But since there's absolutely no mention of any such drawback -- or even implication that it might be handy as an optional rule -- anywhere in Augmented, I can't help but wonder why you think it's necessary.

You're never too young, never too old, and never too cyberful to start your directorial debut! With MetaType's Director's Chair and Mitsuhmama's BlinkEdit software package, you can edit all the sensory data with a single thought, blinking out emotions, sensations, and even splicing your own mixes in! Just listen to Dan Zebrest, the hit director of Stalking Zero: "MetaType hardware made me what I am today." Whether you're making home sims, or working on breaking onto the world stage, MetaType's just the type you need.

> The editor is the only thing in this package worth a nuyen; otherwise, Zeiss does it better with their SenseSation line. Best to remember though, MetaType is really pushing the Gakuto on new moms and dads who want to capture every moment of their child's life. Never know what random wageslave is a walking camera these days - if you ever did.

So, I stumbled upon this again:

On the contrary, there is even a market for cybersuites with one (1) customer:

Oh, now that's a beautiful precedent. Good catch.

The Synesthesia Cybersuite: Brought to you by EVO, perhaps the worlds leading corporation in cybernetic sensor technology, this suite is for the sensory junkie. Featuring everything from thermographics to enhanced taste receptors, this cyber suite has been specifically designed to enhance your meatspace experience and widen your sensory horizons. Ordinary experiences pale in comparison to the high resolution sensations you will experience when you purchase the Synesthesia Cybersuite, it consists of:

• Sony Cybersystems TM430z Cybereyes (Rating 4) with eye recording unit, image link, flare compensation, low-light vision, thermographic vision, vision magnification, vision enhancement (Rating 3), and laser microphone (Rating 3)
• EVO Sublime Sound 439d Cyberears (Rating 3) with Audio Enhancement (Rating 3), Select Sound Filter (Rating 6), Spatial Recognizer and Increased Sensitivity
• EVO TaskMan Attention Coprocessor (Rating 3)
• Pan-Space Ultrasound and Radar Sensors
• Distinguished™ Olfactory and Taste Booster (Rating 5)
• EVO HD Simrig & Datajack
• Fairlight Caliban Comlink
• Built in Oracle Reality Amplifier

Please note that while the cyberears have no room for improvement, EVO has intentionally left room for modification in the Cybereye system, allowing you to further customize your reality experience. There are three capacity slots left.

Cost: 66160Y, 2.7 Essence

Custom cyber suite available to the mega rich isn't exactly proof that megacorps would mass-produce a suite with a very small potential customer base.

Custom stuff for the rich and famous is always profitable as you can bill all the necessary R&D from the client.
Mass-produced suite for a small potential customer base, not so much

I'd suggest throwing in an Attention coprocessor to facilitate the integration of the intensive information load generated by all those sensory channels.

Theres on in there already .

Oops 8( ! I missed it !

This package can make a solid base for a surveillance/espionnage character, but I wonder why there is an eye recording unit, because the simrig, datajack and comlink combined with the standard image link of the cybereyes already allow storage/recording of all inputs from the cybersuit.

Fancy that, Im making such a character now. I just figured Id post up what I'd put together for him so others might enjoy.

As far as the eye recording unit, its built in with all cybereyes.

That's maybe a couple months. For one guy. Corps would be churning them out like popcorn, and coming up with obscure packages for niche markets.



Or a good nano-fabber. Which means making a program for the fabber, but I can't see that being much more work than normal blueprints. Less, maybe, since you don't have to allow for assembly (it can be a monolithic piece).

And yeah, I'm surprised there aren't more packages that include skillwires. The books seem to pitch them as a popular alternative to education / career training. Integrating them alongside other items useful in the job market would make total sense.
