Quick question: can you install a Commlink (normally an Headware) in a Cyberarm?
Stahlseele
As far as i remember: yes.
Cyberware either has an essence or a capacity cost.
If the Piece of Gear has a Capacity Cost, it can be installed into a Limb for no essence Cost.

Yes, it has a capacity attribute
It would take up 2 capacity.

I was asking because there are some pieces of cyberware that can seem... funny in some limbs.
Like a biomonitor on a cyberear...

Ears and eyes do not count.
You can only put eye-stuff or ear-stuff into these.
You can NOT put anything that is NOT eye or ear stuff into eyes or ears . .

Good point: it's *limb* capacity, not eye or ear. smile.gif
Stahlseele
yeah, but introducing several different kinds of capacity was still dumb i say . .
you don't want something to fit in there? give it too much capacity needed!
one capacity for EVERYTHING and eyes/ears simply get less capacity than would be needed to put some stuff into them . .
And limbs get less capacity than a vehicle. And Armor is somewhere in between . . as are glasses, contact lenses, goggles and the such <.<
Yerameyahu
I dunno about that, but they could certainly have handled the various flavors of Capacity much better. Eye, ear, cyberlimb, visual/audio sensor enhancements, sensor packages, armor mods… each of these has separate and incompatible 'capacities'. smile.gif That's off the top of my head, there are probably more.

vision enhancement mods in a cyber leg. seems silly too though smile.gif
Stahlseele
Why?
You can get whole EYES in there . .
Don't tell me a Camera in a Finger or toe is silly enough not to allow it . .
Granted, there's basically no reason why anybody would do it, but still . .
Well, okay, so there's one reason . . filming up under womens skirts . .
Yerameyahu
That's not a visual enhancement mod, that's a visual sensor. wink.gif
