This discussion back to June 2003, September 2003, and I could list more and more. Maybe it goes back even further. It certainly picked up again after the ROTW expansion.
So I'll just say, it would make prefect sense for a DE to be able to make these so of course SOE doesn't give them to us.

It's been dicussed a little bit. Now, the cybernectics would have to be useful, otherwise people would never buy them. Just off the top of my head, here are a few ideas crafted cybernectics could do. I don't know if they already do this stuff because I've never used one before.
1. Allow user to become stronger or faster while using the cybernectics is melee combat causing more damage.
2. Allow user to fire ranged weapon faster
3. Allow user to "plug" their ranged weapon into their cyber arm resulting in more pwoerful shots
4. Allow user to always use "Burst Run" with cyber legs attached
5. Damage dealt to cyber parts would not affect total health of user.
6. When grouped with other people who have crafted cybernetics, each persons own cybernectics is increased by the number of people with them in the group. More people, more powerful
7. Crafter with cyber arms yields better results
8. Cyber legs could be "plugged" into a vehicle allowing the vehicle to move faster than normal. More legs attached, faster vehicle goes. Works same with mounts, but rather than "plugging" into them, provides a small shock yielding the same results.
Each of these abilities requires a battery to run. Battery dies, power diminishes. Simply replace the battery, and the cybernectic "powers" will work again. Droid Engineers build them. Doctors install them. When doctor installs the cybernectic, they also give it one battery. Battery must be replaced by a Medic. Possible change could be battery sizes,such as small, medium, and large. Each providing power for a certain period of time. Small is the shortest time, medium is between large and small, large gives most time for powers.
Just a couple of ideas.

DEs should be able to make Cybernetic arms, using components from Armorsmiths (to increase the resistances) and possibly other master crafter professions (to add special abilities).
DEs should have several styles to choose from, and also get the ability to customize the colors.
Devs: please read and give DEs something that isn't bound to the Creature Handler code!!!!!

For over a year before Cybernetic arms were put into the game with ROTW, DE's were asking for them. I find it very disheartening that when they were put in, they were given by NPCs.
