Date: Mon, 13 Jun 1994 09:08:28 +0300
I have a street sam who has a high knife throwing skill(9) and i want
to ask if there is a way to adapt the "normal" smartgun link so it can
be used to lower the target number of the knife throwing skill?
(there is a precednce in a book that deals with sports,news and music in
Shadowrun world (I can't remember it's name) the perecedence is a system
called smart ball for basketball.)
what will be the essense cost of such a system ? does it have to be
installed separetly from "normal" smartgun link? ....

Re: Shadowbeat, Smartball Technology, pg. 60, it requires a ballistic
computer plus cyber-eyes. I'd go with 0.5 for the computer (as per
smartlink) and make it a 0.1 add to the cyber-eye (as per rangefinder)
myself for a package total of 0.7 if your Street Monster doesn't have the
eyes already. (Should be some way, probably Beta or Alpha ware, to put
the ballistic function into the regular smartlink I or II. Say,
Smartlink (whichever) Plus, for 50% higher price.)
