[HoE] Cyborg Questions

[Abdullah Oblongota <toadpooka@usa.net>]

<<Ok, just got the cyborg book last night. Can't say HOW much I love it,
  it's great. Two quick questions after reading it about twice through.
  1) Armor: Okay so you have to have hardpoints to get armor, but they
  give you hardpoints? I'm confused. If anyone can explain this a bit
  better I'd be mucho apprecio>>

Well, you said it: you use your hardpoints to mount the armor, and then the
armor itself has hardpoints to mount weapons on.  This is just to distinguish
what's on the armor, and what's on the can itself.  Also, it prevents players
from taking armor just to get more hardpoints (if you've got Light 'points, you
can't mount armor that has heavy)

<<2) the self repair unit- the description says all prewar cyborgs have
  it, yet none of the "package deals" list it. Considering the Infiltrator
  unit doesn't get enough $$ to get it, I'm a tad confused.
  That's it for now, any help would be much appreciated.>>

This confused me too, but Hopler answered it right after GenCon.  All cans get
an SRU for free, it was just left off the lists and the sheet.  It counts
against your number of mounts, but not against your cash.
