Advanced medtech rules. Toxins, drugs, and other chemicals.

Yup!

Something that makes cyberlimbs more attractive choices, because without the ability to affect movement rate and/or physical limit they are essentially expensive containers at the moment.

Yup!

Cyberzombie rules and background material.

... Not sure on this one. Ack. The background is touched on, but I haven't looked over the big stuff at the end yet. So... maybe?

Quote
Type O or similar qualities that allow a street samurai to pack more chrome into the WEAK FLESH! *ehem*

Yup!

More ware, though I hope that's a given :)

And Yup. So, maybe not QUITE a clean sweep, but hopefully you'll be happy. :)

So.. it seems the datajack debate has been answered... one of the cyberware bundles comes with 3 datajacks.

I'm not familiar with the Datajack Debate. Could you summarize it for me?

(Multi-jacks were normal in older editions. Each one was dedicated to a Thing after all. For instance, one for your Smartgun, one for your Cyberdeck, and one for your external data storage device.)

it's the debate about whether multiple datajacks should compound the noise reduction.

AH! I don't *believe* that multi-jacks would stack, BUT, there's now a cyber-ear mod that will.

So have 5e cybersuites been quietly put to pasture, and replaced with augmentation bundles?

Cybersuites popped up in Lockdown, just before the cybernetics chapter for Chrome Flesh was being wrapped up. I had no clue that they were going to be over there, so, a quick re-jiggering was needed unless we wanted another situation where the same gear was posted in two+ places with different rules. The easy solution was to rename the Chrome Flesh work, letting them stand separately from the Lockdown work.

Lack of communication from two different teams that almost got bad.

So, two different things with different rules that are similar to one another but not quite the same.

There might be Bioware Bundles in the future, but they'll need a ruleset as well, since the Augmentation Bundle rule doesn't work with them for obvious reasons. :) I'd like to create some more in the future, at any rate.

Yah; I was hoping for a full cyberlimb body, seeing as Lockdown played coy by offering full limbs with orthoskin, vs partial limbs with torso & skull.

So... I guess it needs to be asked.

Can a character gain advantages of both Adapsin gene treatment and Biocombatability (Cyberware)?

Sure Adapsin it outside the normal Availability, but for a street sam might be worth a Restricted Gear.

They Stacked in 4th but Adapsin was so new then that it was flat out denied during Chargen even with the Restricted Gear Quality. With how they restructured 'ware costs to be so front loaded & Grades being much cheaper as well as Adapsin not being so new... it stacks & can be gotten with the Restricted Gear Quality (yes... another piece of 'ware besides a Pain Editor worth getting)
