Hello everyone, I got few questions about cyberware.

Hello everyone, I got few questions about cyberware.

Hello everyone, I got few questions about cyberware.

1) If you already have a neural interface (let’s say data storage), do you need to go under the knife to install another module (like remote control) ?

2) Why cybercoms are not a neural interface module ? Same question for tactical compuer and skillwires

3) Can you connect to the matrix with cybercoms like a smartphone ? Or is it just like a radio transmission ?

4) Jack in suggest you have to plug yourself into the system physically , but remote control suggest wifi exist. Is there two kind of networks like in these days (wireless and wired) ? In this case, do wireless more oftenly used and wired is used in very secured areas ?

  1. The fourth question is addressed somewhere in the book… basically, it’s explicitly left up to the preferences of the group, and the tone of game they’re running. Personally, I assume it’ll vary with the job… some systems you can hack from a park bench near the facility, while others are physically detached from any public network, so you’ll have to get in and plug in (or at least send the infiltrator in to set up a relay)

  2. As to cybercoms, I think of them as voice only… basically a radio unit hooked up to your aural nerves, with a microphone attached to your jawbone. For smartphone-like functionality, that’s what you want the neural interface device for…

  4. 1) It depends on your world. The different NI modules might be a physical piece that is added to the NI itself. Or it might be that a new chip is needed to be added to the Neural Interface. It could also be that it is just a software upgrade. worse case scenario would be that you need to install a second NI because they are one and done. The other question is if you have a single interface with different software and it connects via a cable, would you need multiple ports.

    2) they connect to different parts of the brain than a NI.

    3) yes but it only allows an audio connection.

    4) It depends on your world.

  6. Preference does play a big part in this aspect of the game… Hamish has deliberately left a lot of the details blank, to allow groups to decide their exact flavour of cyberpunk…
