New medical feat

Expert Surgeon: Lvl 135

Basically the idea is for an expert surgeon to be able to remove old tech and install the new stuff. Characters always get cybers era 1 and then if they make it to era 3 could be left out of cool new developments.

I thought this could make it so you simply remove the old machinery during surgery

Other requirements could be having cyber adept, a new medical based coprocessor attached to a datapad in your inventory, and then the regular cyber stuff.

I’m here to repo your organs

I would say it’s something that could replace cloning since no one seems to want it back in the game.

I would definitely reenact REPO: The genetic Opera. I would RENT cybers and if they missed a payment, I would get my merchandise back.

I would agree to this over cloning. F cloning.

Goes without saying that you would have to ensure that the stat and level changes reverted back to their pre-cyber levels if you remove cybernetics.

The only way I’d be okay with removing and upgrading cybernetics:

A. There’d need to be a cap on how many you can have. Maybe four of various types, but not every single kind.
B. There needs to be a penalty the more you have. Four is the max, but isn’t really possible unless you take a hit somewhere else.
C. Cybernetics would also need to be able to break and require repair.

Being able to upgrade cybernetics is ridiculous in the first place but there’d need to be a lot of constraints placed on it.

You guys definitely make some good points, I wasn’t thinking you would actually be able to keep the old cybernetic that was removed, more like it would be junked as the upgraded version went in. I’m just spitballing here, the real idea is to give the medical field something unique. Everyone seems to hate cloning, so there isn’t really a reason to be a medical main.

Other med feat suggestions are welcomed, or more critique/thought on this one.

I disagree with zero on this one, however I think it would be better, as seryb said about getting cybers in era 1, and better being released in era 3, an added command to the same skillset called replace_cyber or something to be able to supposedly ‘upgrade’ the cyber and gaining the additional stat and level bonus. At the same time, removing a cyber should be limited to those cybernetics that do no affect stats(example: Aqua Lungs, Bioplug, etc)

Too twinky, Sky. Adding on more bonuses at zero risk is something I will never support.

No-one appears to be looking at the abusive possibility of just installing a cyber, leveling, removing it, re-installing cyber and leveling until you get stat gains.
