There probably should be a way to buy Alpha grade cyber at Delta prices but have the cyber made to appear a different type of cyber.  You could establish a rating system for the camo cyber when people attempt to check it.  It would make it cost prohibitive for most things except what you really needed hidden.  Seems like there would be a market for such things out there.

I believe that Deltaware is already much more difficult to detect, isn't it?

Each grade of ware requires +1 threshold for detection by a cyberware scanner.

The real problem is that you cannot oppose a cyberware scanner, so you are at its mercy

 My point was that since it is impossible to hide cyber one hundred percent then masking it as a more innocent cyberware would be a valid option.  If your a spy posing as a visa clerk you want your spur to never show up in your travels unless you bring it up.  Also be a way to make improved smuggling compartments.

Delta grade is also not reallh designed specifically to be 'stealth' as much as better, essence friendly, and more reliable. I used the delta cost as a baseline for price for integrating a camouflaged cyberware feature, function, or entire system into a larger system or alike system.  It would seem that there would be a market, at least by intelligence groups, who did this.

Are there bioware cyber weapons comparble to those available with cyberware?

If by comparable you mean better, then yes.

Cyberware weapons are basically rubbish.

Some weapon systems are not world shaking powerful but are very useful, espically when using poisons, nanites, or back up weapons.  They are just pointless when picked up on scans and made as weapons.  Surely someone has worked on ways to camo these systems for security penetration purposes.

Yeah, and then better sensors come out that makes those countermeasures inadequate.

It's like tanks and anti-tank weapons.  :P

That's a fact.  Hasn't stopped people making tanks and anti-tanks but vicious cycle is acknowledged.  Could be worse and be like ECM and ECCM spiral.

Easier to update a tank and ECM than it is to update a person.  :P

OK, sorry KI.

Easier to replace an AGENT than to update him/her.  :P  (Dystopian enough?)
