Implants and bionics are common place in Star Wars Universe all throughout the saga. Why not make DE professions as functional and encompassing as it could be by adding a Cybernetic engineering tree to it ?

I dont think anyone will complain if Droid Contruction Techniques tree will get combined with the Blueprints tree. Have cybernetics tree offer things like limb replacements / implants (ie cybernetic leg = +Action / + Stamina)

What do you guys think ?

Yeah, I like that, but what happens when you go burstrun and your legs tell you *Low Power*? ;-)

No, no, no!

Cybernetics would give players an advantage in the game and therefore requires an experience grind and the player must spend skill points.

Now, a Cybernetics Handler profession *is* possible.

Only a DE could make them.


Only a Master Cybernetisist could apply them to another player.


The other player would have to have the required Cyborg skill to wear them.... which gets tricky if he ever surrenders that skill...

Bwahahaha!

Type "Yes" to surrender this skill.
Your left leg has fallen off!
Your right leg has fallen off!
Your right arm has fallen off!
Your right eye has fallen off!

I like the idea, though it would be tricky to implement. Something like bio-engineered clothing but since its more permanent and doesn't take up a clothing slot it couldn't have quite as good of effects.

I like the idea, but if such thing is implemented it MUST take into account Bio-Engineers too.


In star wars there are such thing as implants ( Luke's hand) and Cyborgs ( Dengar the Bounty Hunter and even Darth Vader!), but they werent only mechanics, they were engineered as cybernetics embeeded into organics ( hence the term Cyborg: CYBernetics + ORGanics).


So BioEngineers have a Tissue Engineering tree. If such thing as cybernetic implants come into place, it makes that they should be crafted using Bio-engineered tissues embedded into cybernetics created by DE's.


So ... well this open up the possibility of a new elite elite hybrid profession: Cyborganics Engineer perhaps?
