The datajacks level 1 through 4 are from Shadowtech, and Smartlink 2 is from
Fields of Fire.
The difference between the various datajacks is that data flows through them
faster the higher the rating. I don't think there is too much use for this
in the game, but hey it's nice background: "I've got a datajack(4), _much_
superior to you level 1" :)
The difference between the smartlinks is that a smartlink 2 gives you -1 TN
at Long and Extreme range if coupled to a range finder, gives only +2 for
making called shots (against the normal +4 -- whatever FOF says is a typo),
and generally feels better.
