Rules Clarifications and FAQ
The Tech Level for the Alliance is 7.
Equipment, weapons, armor and cybernetics from MKZ use the prices in that book with guidelines as listed in Starblade Battalion (p. 130-131) and when there is a conflict, available at the SB prices. As in SB everyone begins with a Datalink. CP2020 cybernetics are available on an ad hoc basis with prior Referee approval. Prices for CP2020 Cyberware are roughly 6 X the CP2020 eurobuck cost. A Datalink is an advanced Neuralware processor with chipware socket and all equipment links preinstalled. Cybernetics from SB are assumed to be “Live Metal” nanomateriels and therefore incur NO Humanity Loss. CP2020 cyberware not duplicated in SB incurs the usual HL. If you want archaic metal chrome versions of cyberware that are available in SB (such as replacement limbs) the price is ½ (or 3 X eurobuck cost in CP 2020) and the standard HL in CP2020 is applied.
Non-weapon gear from CP2020 may be available on an ad hoc basis with GM approval. Custom weapons and cyberware can be created using MTS at a cost of 1 cp = $1000, as per SB (Final Notes p. 131). The MTS research rules in MKZ+ can be used for any kind of new gear.
Just to be clear though it is stated in SB: energy swords, force staff and force screens are not available.
