ancient forum can't handle colours

>Integrated Arm Blade, A sword but out of your arm! WHOA! (Exclusively antag item, thought it would be pretty rad) Probably 4 Telecrystals.

Interesting. I wouldn't be able to judge the price without seeing statistics on this sort of thing, but very interesting.

>Integrated Zeng-Hu Body Scanner, Too lazy to drag someone's dying ass to medical only to have them die in the scanning process? This alternative will save you 0.782 seconds! (CMO and Research Director exclusive, like the one the CMO has in their office but inside your fucking hand) Probably costs 5 loadout points.

Well, it's priced about right, but I'm not a fan of job-locked augments if only for the question of 'where does it go when they're off-duty?'. Perhaps on that alone it's best not added unless it were give an 'access-lock' like the HUD implants, where they are given no matter what you spawn as, but have no function without appropriate access.

>Integrated T-ray Scanner, Let's be honest, you don't carry one of those useless things around because it only takes up space. Now it's in your eyes, causes the near-sighted effect when toggled on. (Engineering exclusive, not much else to say) Probably costs 3 loadout points.

You could probably make this 2 points. I always carry one in the pocket as an engineer due to the versatility of it, but it's never a tool you truly need to do any work. As above, this is another 'who rips this out of you when you go off-duty and why' thing where it should just be access-locked in some way. On the other hand it's such a middling tool in it's usefulness you could probably have it all-access all-the-time.

>Retractable Protective Eye Lenses, Can't find your welding mask? We've got you covered with these protective eye lenses! Flashes do deal damage the augment when it is toggled on. (Protects against flash stunning, losing durability while doing so. Also protects against welding sparks without taking damage.) Probably costs 3 loadout points.

This, like the magboots, would be far far stronger than anything that should be available within the loadout. Would be a neat antag item! If ever in the loadout, maybe a Hephaestus exclusive.

>Night Vision Lenses, Want to play Tajara but not in the mood to make a whitelist? Here's 50% of their abilities built right into your probably human character! (Security exclusive, gradually causes eye damage if active for too long, about ten minutes, similar to Aut'akh eyes augments. Also prone to severe eye damage if flashed, two flashes cause total blindness.) Probably costs 5 loadout points.

Why would this be Security-exclusive? Everyone could make use of it, but given the strength it really should just be another antag augment. Antags would love this. Should certainly be mutually exclusive with the welding-goggles implant. If it's exclusive to anyone, let it just be a Zavodskoi exclusive.

>Voice Modification Module, Do you wear a suit? Do you think you're hot shit? Well if you don't have a full, smooth Eridinian accent you're not. HOWEVER, with this new voice augment you can mimic any accent you want AND at a relatively cheap price too! (Defaulted at Text to Speech, doesn't mimic crewmembers voices.) Probably costs 2 loadout points.

I like this a lot, seems like something very business-minded. Perhaps an Idris exclusive.

>Surface Temperature Module, a thin layer of electronics packed all along the major portions of your body just under the skin, functions as skin ventilation, allow you to increase or decrease your body temperature in warm or cold environments without a jacket! (Can increase and decrease exterior body temperature by a maximum of 15 degrees Celsius, gradually uses nutrients to fuel this process) Probably 5 loadout points.

This is so niche that I can't imagine it ever being worth 5 points of expense. I don't terribly understand the logic behind it's mechanisms either, but that's where the fiction of sci-fi comes in.

>News Caster Integration, Ever wanted to read the news but didn't want to use the newscasters like a peasant? Are you a journalist and not a lowly crewmember? This augment is for you! Capable of doing all newscaster functions with the exception of printing newspapers. (Description says it all) Probably costs 1 loadout point.

I feel like this would make no sense to be locked to journalists, especially given they're often the only ones putting out newscaster stories. If all-access, it seems neat enough, though a bit superfluous.

>Facial Adjustment Augment, Tired of your own disgusting mug? Shift your body to match another! This has LITERALLY NO LIMITATIONS except it does. (Exclusively antag item, changes the voice and body to match another crewmember like a changeling. Doesn't change gender) Probably 3 Telecrystals.

I dislike changelings and I dislike this. I won't pretend that I'm not being biased, but this would have to be extremely expensive to gain access to the strongest ability of changelings.

>Integrated Speaker, Are your crewmembers ignoring you? Maybe giving a bit of sass? Turn this baby on and scream in their faces to make them utterly shit themselves while also bursting their ear drums. Warning, it bursts yours too. (Exclusive command/QM augment, basically a megaphone but as an augment inside your throat) Probably 3 loadout points.

Another case of 'this shouldn't be job-locked, just have it non-functional without access'. This curiously sounds like it'd be fitting for an EPMC implant.

>Integrated cane, so you bought a telescopic cane huh? Well you're still a peasant until you've bought the INTEGRATED CANE! A deployable cane which can be folded and then shot into your arm for safe keeping! (Basically telescopic cane but augment) probably costs 2 loadout points.

Crippled old man has money to have a cane built into his arm but not to just fix his problem instead. Excusing that breach in logic, it's very neat, would be fun to harmlessly smack someone with.

>Gold Star Dispenser, Did your employee just break their back out, pouring their blood sweat and tears into the job yielding great profit? Give them this gold star dispensed from literally nothing, that'll make them love you. (QM and HoP exclusive) probably costs 1 loadout point.

Cue more of 'this shouldn't be job-locked, just have it non-functional without access'. Once more, this sounds weirdly like an EPMC implant - or perhaps a NanoTrasen-exclusive.

>Integrated Global Positioning System, Scans your local station position and pings it to your brain, allowing you to constantly know where you are! Leaving it on for too long can cause headaches though. (Description says all, headache texts ping you after it stays active for longer than 5 minutes) probably 2 loadout points.

This is far stronger than you give it credit for, but most people wouldn't know how to make good use of it. Perhaps a Hephaestus-exclusive to prevent shenanigans.

>Advanced Hand Sensors, Allows you to dip your finger into a liquid and discern its contents, very accurate! (Description says all) probably 3 loadout points.

Ah, the Detective's must-have. Very strong, but poisoning is so uncommon that I can't imagine people consciously remembering to use it. If you really wanted to avoid shenanigans you could have it locked to Z-H or Idris, but I don't believe it's flavourful enough to suit either.

>Hand Hypospray, Just deploy and attach chemicals to prepare! Works like a regular hypospray with slightly less capacity and longer injection times. (Can only hold 10 units and has an injection time of 5 seconds, fairly useless unless the user has not geared yet) probably 3 loadout points.

Why is the thermostat 5 points and not this. Very strong, would be a beloved antag tool, should probably be an antag augment.

>Integrated Recipe Database, Allows the user to wirelessly connect to a database of Foods & Drinks, like a cook book but in your mind! (Literally a flavor version of the wiki) Probably 1 loadout point.

This is so superfluous that I struggle to imagine why it needs to exist, yet at the same time I can't really say 'no'. I'd make a corp reg variant too, have them both all-access because why not.

>Optic Camera Lenses, Allows you to take pictures and view them inside your mind at any time! Drawback is, only you can view them. (Description says it all, ICly could possibly say you'll print the pictures when you get home) Probably 2 loadout points.

This would be cute if you could jack into a console or printer. Otherwise, while flavourful to a small extent, it doesn't really have any impact on anything. It also raises the question of how someone is inevitably going to take a picture of themself standing beside their buddies.
