[MAJOR UPGRADE][[ROBOTICS]] Cybernetic Augments

[BruiseCruise]

Since I don't think we can edit:

Bruiser's post goes a lot in that direction but I think having an injectoresque thing for robotics would be cool, but only for upgrades where it makes sense, like disease resistance that involves nanites killing viruses in your blood. Also item limbs that can be retracted.

Nanite chainsaw anyone? like literally your arm turning into a chainsaw, then forming back into an arm. I suppose emmaging would involve your arm falling off and melting or something. Item mimicry could draw power and sort of work like cyborg arms already work on cyborgs.

There's a lot of cool crap we could think of with augments and nanites.

Yea, I kinda realized that most of those suggestions are less 'hack n' slash' surgery and more like Cyborg Modules. You never really see your augmented body in E.Y.E or anything, but it implies that a lot of the modules are vaguely embedded under the skin or just cybernetic replacements of body parts like eyes and whatnot. As for Deus Ex, the original just had spooky-looking canisters of Nanite Dew that you presumably had injected by a medbot, but that made sense given the context of nanotech vs. cybernetic augments. Judging from the title it looks like we're going the Augment route first, but having some sort of nanotech in the future sounds pretty fun and interesting!

As for the augments proper, I liked the idea for the AED earlier in the thread. It would make it a bit easier to install augments without chopping the augmentee into pieces and makes it easier to add new things. As for limb and skull enhancements, though, I think it would be good to utilize surgery. That way it adds a sense of danger to becoming Robocop and enables people to become Aug Thieves kinda like that Chinese Gang in Human Revolution.

To be honest, though, having some Nanomachine-pumped Armstrong-expy sounds like one hell of an antagonist role, especially if it can be worked into consuming the station's power supply or something. I like these suggestions because Augments really have a lot of potential!
