Edit Reason: i keep thinking of new things to say

I like the new ranged interactor a lot. It's a clearly desirable and helpful utility no matter who you are, with a reasonably common downside (and easy counter).
It also made me consider something: I like the downside because it's something that, in a lot of instances, someone else must impose upon you. People using brain wi-fi to make toast at a distance or whatever aren't going to get inconvenienced by flash vulnerability, which I think is a good direction to go for these sorts of thing in general. The downsides should be punishing mostly in situations where you're abusing your cool toy as opposed to merely possessing it, like how a nerd with a juiced cyberheart can speed around the station all they want, but it's not until they start causing trouble that they'd ever have an EMP grenade chucked at them.
