DAMN IT!!! I have not finished the stuff at HHH, that directly considers
this. Yes Bill, there probably should be some limits, especially with regards
to larger things (gyromount or power amp). We've been working on this offline
for a while now, but sadly only a teensie-tiny bit has made it to the web
site.

A thought we have had for "cyberlimbs" with regards to Anthroforms/Walkers
however. Consider each limb to have an "essence" equal to the body of the
vehicle in question. The limb can hold that much "essence worth" of stuff
before it has problems. Then, for every point or so beyond that, the usage of
that limb has a target number increase by +1, for ALL actions of the limb or
even devices within it.

That's just a start (yes, we have more, MUCH more, but it doesn't make much
sense when we try and describe it)
