>What are the vision modifiers for someone using eyelights?

The blurb says they give you enough light to see by when you're using
low-light eyes. So maybe with LL you don't get modifiers, while without LL
you'd get the Partial Light modifiers?

>Can eyelights be installed in non-cyber lowlight eyes (orcs or elves)?

The text says "in the cybereye" so I say that rules out installing them into
organic eyes.

>Is the cyber interface needed to activate the gyro arm?

I don't think so. A gyro works on its own, without needing outside control
(at least, I think it does :). Still, the text talks about cyber-controlling
your gyromount...

>If hooked to other
>built in devices, do you need one interface per device?

Probably.

>Eye lasers. Why all the different types? once you have a laze, can't you use
>it as a designator or a tracker (if it is bright enough)?

The tracker is a limb-control device, not a laser built into the eye. I
believe you need a laser designator in your eye, and if you then also get a
tracker, your arm will point where you look.

That is good to know :) One thing to remember, BTW, is that the people
making the shadow comments not necessarily know what they're talking about
(of course that's just an easy way out for FASA if they've goofed :)
