Does anyone have the stats for Delta grade cyberware, it is mentioned
in several of the novels and sourcebooks (PR for example). I know
that it is supposidly more concealable than even alpha or beta, but
what is it, where do I get it and most importand how much does it
cost, both in essence and nuyen.

Or is it one of those things that only the opposition get ??

On a lightly related point, how long does it take before cyberware
becomes available in alpha and beta such as that in the Biotech book??

I believe Cybertech will have rules for delta-grade cyberware, but that book
isn't out yet :(

Do you mean to ask "Is the cyberware from Shadowtech available in alpha or
beta grade yet?" I think that depends on the GM. I would rule that it is,
about 3 years after it came out those shadow clinics would have had enough
time to copy and improve it, IMHO.

FASA basically say - not at startup. But after that i agree with
Gurth GM discretion. If you dont't want PC's with this stuff keep it
very rare. Just remember that alhpa, beta and bio ware are the
Sam/mercs, answer to the magicians diving for the Grimoire so play
things fair.

Check out the Tir Na Nog sourcebook pg.152. To save you time Delta class
cyberware is about 3X the cost of beta class due to their organic
nature. Keep in mind this is not bioware but cyber stuff developed by
those nasty elves in faerie lands. In addition to the incredible cost,
it cuts essence costs by 50%. The book doesn't list damage resistance
TN, but because they organic in nature you might be able to compare them
to bioware with some mods...
