Uh....

Maybe this question has been asked before, but (in theory) could you hook a
tactical computer up to senses provided by the adept power "Improved
Senses"? From what I can tell it should work.. but I thought I would ask for
a second opinion.


Thanks,
Travis "Aristotle" Heldibridle

Yes, you could because EFFECTIVELY (key word) the sense enhancements provided by
the Improved Senses "powers" (One per type) would be able to be used in
conjunction with a tactical computer, although it still depends on which ones
are useful. Personally, I don't consider the tactical computer to be all that
useful in and of its own accord with only the sense ports, because only a
handful of senses are effective at any one time.

Normal Sight - Usually
Thermo Sight - Sometimes
UV Sight - Sometimes
Normal Hearing - Only if you don't have LoS
Enhanced Hearing - As above but a greater frequency range
Touch - Rarely, if ever
Smell - As above
Taste - Not at all

You might be able to squeeze an extra rating point or two out of the enhanced
senses, but your main boost is going to come from the orientation system.
