This is something branching off from another thread... but I felt it best to go to a separate thread rather than continuing to derail the poor guys thread.

For really unusual characters there's the EVO Freak and Inhuman range of Cybersuits from lockdown. The idea being that they're used for anthro body replacement via cybernetics. They're alright as they are but Chrome Flesh added two things that take the concept further, Digigrade Legs and Balance Tails.

So I guess the question is is there likely to be new versions of Freak/Inhuman to incorporate these improvements? Or failing that, what would a Cyberware Bundle of this theme look like?

Short Answer... No. Longer Answer... the Lockdown Cybersuites weren't developed in conjunction with Chromed Flesh. Hence why those are the 5th edition Cybersuites & they had to change then to Augmentation Bundles in Chromed Flesh. Besides SpinRad Super Athlete (its just so good) all the cybersuites are not suitable for Shadowrun RPG. They work fine for the videogame where the customization is not as important not the plethora of other options are available.

You do know a lot of the stuff in the Cyber Suits doesn't actually exist in the game right? heck, even the Cyber Suits themselves don't exist in the game.

As for most of them being unusable... I'm sure many Deckers would like the Transys-Erika range. Someone looking to go cyborg anthro have the Evo stuff. As for the others, OK sure most aren't great for a street sam, but they're useful for other characters wanting a bit of an edge without munching too much essence.
