What? You are an immortal demigod. You don't exist in a body, why would you care about anything that happens to it? The only important part of the clone body we can modify now with implants.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Because transferring your consciousness hundreds of light years into another cloned body over and over again isnt futuristic enough....

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

You do realize that as of 23,000 BCE, humans were hunter gatherers, with some areas doing basic agriculture and farming? 23,000 BCE was 25,000 Years ago, RL time, and far more than that, eve time.

The Cyberpunk RPG, (2013 and 2020, not the 203X pile of crap,) dealt with the lose of ones humanity, due to the removal of flesh and It's replacement by cybernetics, quite well.

If the OP is referring to augmented humans in the same vain as the Star Trek augs, then all I can say is "DUST".

Also, the Jove are an augmented species devoid of emotion and instinct who are dying.

Quite a few of the chronicles and the books mention cybernetics and gene therapy too.

So, yeah, I would say there is plenty of augmentation already.

While it IS well past the year 23,000 B.C.E., I actually meant C.E. (typo)
Thanks P

I'm not sure what Star Trek/DUST augs are like, but I'm talking about complete replacement of body parts with mechanical limbs.

You already have this, take off your clothes and look at your back in the character creator, a large chunk of your central nervous system is replaced with cybernetics.

this s all you need. your not some rough and rugged thug in the alley, your not a frontlines soldier, there is no reason for you to repalce bodyparts. as a capsuleer the majority of your time will be spent in your pod hooked up to your ship, efectively turining your whole body into an ORGANIC COMPUTER. any reaplced body aprts would only serve as a nuisance outside the pod for the few hours your not a goldfish/chicken-egg. not to mention the fact a capsuleer is expected to lsoe their entire body, alot, making cybernetics needlessly expensive and pointless.

lets not forget the fact that chopping off a limb adn replacing it with cybernetics carries the chances of rejection, rejection carrying a large chance for DEATH, the kind of death that could PERMANENTLY KILL a capsuleer

Mechanical augmentation exists already. It's mentioned in most of the background stories. DUST mercs are also genetically and nano-mechanicaly augmented soldiers, stronger, faster and more deadly than any mortal man.

But capsuleer clones are not grown, they are created from 'stock', (aka - dead bodies,) which are genetically and molecularly reconstructed to form the visual and genetic copy of the Capsuleer. You lose an arm no problem, switch clones.

They would have no game effect either. I don't see how bionic arms and legs will help with mentally piloting a ship.

But it would be cool to have the option for mechanical limbs.

I really do suggest you read some of the stuff available on the eve website.

Also, "Monocles".

We should be able to lop off some or the vast majority of our body parts and replace them with mechadendrites and the like. Nothing quite like being liberated from your fleshy prison!
