Cybernetics are implanted enhancements that provide negative and positive bonuses to character or NPC skills. These bonuses will never make a character or NPC's skills above 5 or below 0.

Cybernetics can be installed and uninstalled pending some restrictions, but you can only have one cybernetic installed at any given time.

The following things are required to all be true before any install/uninstall cybernetic operation can proceed:

• Patient - The character or NPC upon which the operation will be performed
• Doctor - This must be a Character that is part of a medical faction
• Laser Scalpel - Required to be held by doctor
• Cybernetic - The patient must have the cybernetic that will be installed equipped.
• Location - Must be an entity with a medical room, and owned by a medical faction.
• Ships/Vehicles can not be moving whilst a cybernetic operation is started/being conducted.
• Medical Room - Patient must be located in a medical room.
• Healthy - Patient must be at full health to start.
• Assistants - Only up to 5 are allowed. Can only be a Medic NPC or Medical Type Droid.

The process of performing cybernetic operations consists of two steps: the preparation and the operation itself.

The preparation is a simple process that will perform the following steps:

• Kick from Party - Removes the patient from any party they are in.
• Sedate the patient - Turn the patient unconscious for the duration of the operation.
• Remove Equipment - Strips all the equipment the patient is wearing and sets it on the floor.
• Pay the cost - The cost of the operation will be paid by the Doctor's faction.

The operation procedure is where the doctor and any assistants will actually try to install or uninstall the requested cybernetic. There are risks involved in the operation:

• Unconscious - The entire duration you will be unconscious and thus vulnerable.
• Theft - Since your equipment is on the floor there is a chance someone can just run away with it.
• Failure - There is a chance that this operation will fail and might have to do it again.
• Faulty Cybernetic - If the operation suffers a critical failure, a faulty cybernetic will be installed instead.
• Death - For NPC patients, instead of a faulty cybernetic, they will be killed.
• Revived - After the operation is over you will be revived and have only 1 HP so will be vulnerable for the opportunistic person to take advantage of.

There are a few activities that can interrupt the operation procedure. These activities are listed below along with the consequences of the actions:

• Arrest - Arrest of the Patient or Doctor will immediately abort the operation and revive the patient.
• Death - Death of the patient or the Doctor will immediately abort the operation and revive the patient, unless they are the one that died.

You can determine your chance for success by using the below formula:

The difficulty to install a cybernetic. The lower the number, the harder it is to install or uninstall

	Name	Install
	Cyborg Metallurgy Unit	30
	Cyborg Electronics Unit	30
	Cyborg Weapons Unit	30
	Cyborg Close Combat Unit	30
	Cyborg Ranged Combat Unit	30
	Cyborg Engines Unit	30
	Artificial Arms	30
	Artificial Eyes	30
	Artificial Legs	30
	Faulty Cybernetic	5

A cybernetic operation lasts for a certain number of hours, determined by the following equation:

While undergoing a cybernetic operation, the patient will be Unconscious for this entire duration.

The doctor that is performing the operation will receive XP, upon the completion of the operation. More XP will be given for a successful operation.

If you fail to install/uninstall a cybernetic implant another test is performed. This test is to see if you have a critical failure, in which case, there is a 10% chance of rolling a critical failure.

If critical failure was rolled, then the cybernetic implant that you were trying to install/uninstall gets damaged and becomes a faulty cybernetic. Faulty cybernetics are defective cybernetics that have been fused to the user making it difficult and expensive to remove them.
