Okay that's the same situation I was wanting it for "the only if I had more dice to roll situations."
Well, if you look at the list of skills Neural Amplifier Nanites help with, there are not too many in the combat arena.
You've got Intuition:
Artisan
Disguise <- need dice here since it's countered by Perception which has lots of cheap bonuses
Interests Knowledge
Language
Navigation
Perception <- pretty key
Shadowing <- also need dice here since it's countered by Perception
Street Knowledge
Tracking
and Logic:
Academic Knowledge
Aeronautics Mechanic
Armorer
Automotive Mechanic
Computer
Data Search <- Everybody loves [blank]
Demolitions -> Disarming a ticking bomb, no. Calculating placement to maximize damage, sure, why not?
Electronic Warfare
First Aid <- Everybody loves [blank]
Industrial Mechanic
Hacking -> Makes basic stuff like probing and cakewalks easier, but won't help you when you're hacking on the fly or messing with the serious stuff.
Hardware <- essential for B&E
Medicine
Nautical Mechanic
Professional Knowledge
Software
So, it's a lot of help for a truely reasonable pricetag. You don't need this for start-up, but it's some choice gear to pick up along the way.
