I'd still do it anyways. Just need an idea of what kind of modification though...

[Empiricist]

It could screw the buyer yes, but it's still a massive step up from the status quo, wherein you'd have to kill Renen to be considered.

[Egan_BW]

Renen op pls nerf.

[Lenglon]

could you compare the current / past heavy genemodded pplz to you system and estimate what prices / differences you would do?

Eh, I'm mostly against it because it's really expensive for odds that are unknown. If it was custom priced then that would make it just right to me.

[Empiricist]

It's actually cheaper than the average standard genemod of each category actually. Seems like a pretty fair trade off, cheaper and custom in exchange for risk.

I don't understand how you can offer robotic modifications as well since your handiwork is terrible and aux only slightly above average. Should be limited to organic modifications.

Piecewise said those'd be Med. Who am I to challenge the glorious Piecewise?..

You know, I might just follow your advice, I guess. It would still be randomised, of course (and possibly slightly more difficult on Piecewise since there won't be two discrete options anymore, but a sliding scale), but perhaps price could be tailored to each case.
Edit: After answering the question below, yes, I think a tailored price would be best.

Sure.

Faith the Living Medic Box: roughly equivalent to a resupplying Advanced Kit + Empathic Gland. ~9-10 token equivalent?=5 tokens
(By the two-option system, I'd either drop a little features, or added some more. Such as, heh, fleshknitter-producing sack.)

Cog the Living Spaceship: equivalent to Mk III, give or take. ~10 t.e.?=5 tokens
(By the two-option system, I'd try to emphasize the tough skin that is already space-resistant; maybe lace with sharkmist for equivalent of in-built Sharksuit armor (possibly thicker).)

Nekarios the Spider-Ock: well, there is little to compare to, but I think it's somewhere around 1-2 t.e.?=1 token.
Personally, I'd buff the strength as well, to at least robobody levels (note that Nick was still in a semi-human body).
<...>
... Ooops, the trial has ended. It means that the real coolness begins. Sorry, gotta go reply there! Stay tuned for the Fun!..

[NAV]

Huh, so if you have high enough med you can operate on machines? I wonder if +4 handiwork would let you perform surgery?

[Nikitian]

I think it's more about them being "bodies". I'm not sure I could simply create a "robot", but a cyborg - yeah, I guess.

Also, I'm going to assume Maurice has magnetic clamps on his feet. Fits with the long stay aboard a ship without gravity, doesn't impact much, mostly for coolness - and I guess that's one of the few explanations how he could stay "at attention" before the Generals.

[Grunhill]

That's an interesting idea, also it takes away the necessity of inside fighting.

Renen is a good step up still... those modifications were due to him "killing" the Doctor.

And there is still Lukas that got altered... I think he is in stasis.

[NAV]

I agree that attaching a robot part to a human should be med. But attaching a robot part to a robot, or creating a robot part from scratch? That's pure handiwork. Any time one skill can be used in place of another it makes that other skill less useful. Same problem with Xan's body fixing robots using med. But if PW says it works then it works.

[Radio Controlled]

Last call for if people need something for their team or themself from the team fund. Newb teams have precedence of course, in case there's a lot suddenly.

Also, paris, would you mind if I buy 1 token worth of small cameras with the team fund and give them to Flint? Since he'd be the one placing them probably.

[Empiricist]

I have no idea what alien bukkake is

It's remarkably similar to a self-inflicted firing squad.

The only medical support team 4 has is Lyras fangs. If we have amputations we'll need medical support from another team. Since team 4's highest med skill is only +1, it makes sense to not hand off an adv medkit anyway. Will there be a free-floating skilled medic for cross-team major injuries?
