]Why not give each limb an "Essence" rating?

Well, there's lots of stuff that doesn't have an essense rating that
you can stuff in a limb. So you'd have to assign each of those things
an essense rating...or, more properly, a SF (space factor) rating.
Example: You've got a Cyber limb with a SF of 10. Your retractable
cyberspur has a SF rating of 3, so it's fine. However, a cyberhand
only has an SF capacity of 2.5, so it can't hold a retractable spur.
(I just pulled those numbers out of my....um....ear, so don't start
getting all techinical using them. They're just to get the point across).
Sound like something somebody wants to write a bunch of material
on? :)
