I meant, if you have earbuds/simrig does that record everthing you hear (and see, and smell and feel)?

(sweet, this is post 9, one more to go!)

To record what you see you need the 'eye recording unit' implant and to record what you hear you need the similar implant for the ears. The cyber replacements for each automatically come with those recording units and image/sound link. You can get those separately, but it's more essence friendly to get the replacement sensory organs.

One of the other attractive features of cyberears is that you can turn them off completely - there are sonic attacks, as well as critters with the paralyzing howl power.

Wouldn't you be immediately incapaciated anyways when you to lose all orientation and balance when you shut off your inner ear?  It's just not the sensation of hearing the loud sound that causes neusea and dizziness.  It's how the vibrations affect the fluids of the inner ear.  Since cyberears replace that part of the ear anyways, they should just make you immune all the time or the cybernetic equivalents are close enough to normal ears to be affected just the same.  There's also non-aural related effects (and I assume the ones that actually cause Stun Damage) such cavitation in human tissue.   

Paralyzing howl however I can't say. 

Edit- That said, honestly I'll be fine with dampeners be way more effective or having cyberears provide 2 points of dampening "innately" or the like.  The cyber replacements could use all the help they can get.

Can you not do that with earbuds?

What about a Simrig?  I thought that recorded everything?

(as an aside, do I always have to type a Captcha to post/reply on this board or does that go away after a certain number of posts?)

Nope. Earbuds are -not- microphones, they are speakers. A simrig, if you wear one, can record all your sensory input, or you could just get a microphone to wear to record audio information.

Cyber-senses however record inside your head, rather to an external device. Maybe it's paranoid, but I like that level of security. They automatically come with recording units that allow you to keep your information on the devices themselves, and you can set them to only be downloadable via a datajack.

Except when someone decides they need to get their hands on that data, it's a lot less painful when they steal your simrig than when they cut out your cyber eyes/ears

But, a Simrig will effectively do the same thing for all your senses right?  Can you build a simrig into a cyberlimb?

[Joush]

Nope. The implant simrig doesn't have a capacity cost.

Nope. The implant simrig doesn't have a capacity cost.

By RAW probably not, but it could be argued to be able to be put into a cyber skull. I know I'd allow it and probably assign it a capacity of 1.
