The stats talk about the Ares Predator 3 having an internal smart link that requires a translator program and a skin link or fiber optic cable. Fine, so a skinlink or play it as a throwback (SR5 Core pg 232) but I don't see mention of the cost of a translator program in any of my books. Any thoughts?

A weapon personality program is Availability 8, and costs ¥250.  That feels about right to me for a translator - not too expensive but costly enough you'd only buy it for a weapon you had a sentimental attachment to.

I'd cut the cost of the personality program in half, but increase the availability to 12 - because it really isn't going to be difficult to do, it's just that it isn't going to be on the market, so you'll have to find someone who can do it for you.  So Avail 12, cost ¥125.
