>>Description: The AT (AnaTargeter) is a Software Package offered by Challenger
>>Systems. Prerequisites needed for usefull application of AT include cybereyes
>>and 5MP of head memory. .
>>Essentially, the AT overlays a color-coded "map" onto a potential
targets body
>>(Bipeds only). This map shows the attacker where the most vulnerable ares are
>>on a humanoids body. The attacker can act accordingly, striking according to
>>his needs, either to disable of kill, or maim.

Interesting... this should require a smartgun link and a display link to use.
I also think the file size is way to small. It should be roughly the size of
a specialization skillsoft of more than minimal level.

>>The package costs a mere =Yu0.

As other said this is way to cheap.

>>Game Mechanics: When using AT the Force of the weapon (gun, hand, or other) is
>>increased by 2 (for both physical and stun attacks)

Increasing the power doesn't sound right. How about reducing the target number
modifier for called shots? Afterall, it might show you where to aim, but you
still have to shot the target in the right area. This just helps you with
figuring out the right area.

See Ya in Shadows,
