Custom Rig is armor slot or brain data jack


Advice

If I put my custom rig in my armor slot how do I use it? How does this work?
Same question for the brain jack, I guess you use the wire to connect to a computer, but how does it work for the engineering stuff. I just can't picture it

I don't think it really matters. You have it and gain the benefits from it regardless were it is.

I guess, but what about flavor?

For Armor mod, I can picture something resembling a scanner from DBZ, plus retractable micro tools.

For the datajack/onboard version I'm imagining the computer guiding the body through different contortions and extrapolations that a normal person could not make while overriding pain receptors and the like, releasing endorphins as necessary to make the tasks do-able with little to no drawback?

Even if you install it as a datajack, you can still use it to wirelessly hack things. The datajack actually doesn't do much for you after that, except maybe give Computers bonuses.


For both cases.. i actually default with the idea of mass effect.. you make nanite/hologram/augmented reality viewing when you use it.


I imagine something similar to Master Chief's power suit. Theres must be some sort of logic board and AI processor by which Chief and Cortana interfaced, etc.

watch a video of an engineer in mass effect. The custom rig is basically your omni tool have it pop up a holographic interface as needed and works as basically whatever tool kit you require and as a computer.
