Cybernetic upgrades..

It would be grate to be able to get cybernetic upgrades like in cyberpunk...

please expand on this suggestion as i have no clue what you mean by this

Pretend for a moment that "cybernetic upgrades" were one time purchase items which added a flat +% to a given stat, and that you could upgrade each stat multiple times, but that these upgrades would be very expensive. That would be a Stat Enhancer.

Short answer, we basically already have that, they're just not called "cybernetic upgrades", and they take the specific form of parachutes, boxing gloves, skateboards... I don't remember the other one... but yea...

dumbells?

Did someone say Cyberpunk?

But seriously though, while I would want to like this idea, Torn is still somewhat based on the current world. We currently don't have augmented limbs for combats.

the best thing we have IRL is body implant garage door openers and light operators. we also have those balance enhancer things, but those are put in the brain...and none of our torn brain surgeons is legitimate enough to touch my brain for something like that...

lol Yeh, I ain't letting them touch my brain.

HI yes i see the upgrades to balance stats...
the idea of cybernetic upgrades wold be something toconsider as our world real is changing now as well and the cybernetics will come in play at some time soon ... now we have people with cyber legs and arms eye enhancers and so on...
Giving this additional option to players would be something interesting new...
thought that would have to be balanced as well if you have to much cybernetics on you you loosing other stats ... as in Cyberpunk (humanity points) so when upgrading player need to think what way he/she wants to go and on what costs... that would an alternative for people who would decide to stay of cyber like peoiple have now choice of not taking drugs...
What do you think about this?

ps sorry for the speling... and I love the game as it is now... just looking a bit in to the future ;-)
