[quote=@Genni] One way to balance it out would be to make it so Anya had to switch between channels to view things through a ThirdEye, rather than giving her a single unified vision. That way not only would deploying too many of them simultaneously be a little overwhelming to keep track of, but while using one Anya would be functionally defenseless and reliant on someone literally watching her back until she switched back to her main augmentation. [/quote] If that was used by anyone else, information overload would be a real problem. But Anya's augmentation also deals with that. Since Anya is usually away from where the conflict would happen, her main augment is something like an alert for her to GTFO of things get ugly. [quote=@Genni] 'Silenced' firearms are still surpringly load, and generally the term 'suppressed' is used instead. Most people would easily hear a silenced pistol firing either in the street outside their house or from a couple of rooms away inside the building. However, the sound tends to be significantly different from what most people associate with a gunshot, and such sounds tend to be disregarded as background noise and not reported or recorded. Also it's a little easier to tag someone without them knowing when all you have to do is pull a pin and slip the ThirdEye into their pocket surreptitiously, rather than shooting them in the back. [/quote] A supressor only deals with the noise the bullet makes when getting out of the rifle and not with the Sonic boom the bullet makes when travelling through the air. Anya's rifle, due to not being a normal gunpowder rifle, is already pretty silent. The suppressor only makes it even quieter. That would deal with any hopes of someone to pinpoint her location due to the sound (since the only ones able to hear anything at all are those right besides her target, and even though,be able to pinpoint her location due to the fact that the thing producing the noise is the bullet, not the rifle. The Sonic boom is just a reminder that someone just killed your friend over there) Unfortunately, dealing with the Sonic boom is completely different. In order to make a 'completely silent' weapons, a couple of things are needed, which the most notable is a subsonic rifle and ammo. A slower bullet would not produce the characteristic Sonic boom that it does when passing by someone, but in the other hand, less speed means less range and penetrating power. In order to deal with this issue, heavier bullets would be needed to raise the projectile's penetration power at the cost of a heavily reduced range. [quote=@Genni] I'd suggest that the bullet type would be a little smaller than the standard version you've described so far, since it would have to be able to fit into the 4x30mm rounds standardly used by her rifle. This would mean less refined sensors and reduced battery size. Overall that would make for a shorter life, smaller range unit which could be quickly and messily deployed at greater range, and would be inferior to the larger version which would require more planning and logistics to place. Basically, if Anya has the time to get one of the other devices into place manually then it would be better to do that, but in a situation where she needs to quickly establish a sensor net in a hurry, the bullet type would allow her to get on point far faster. Would the transmission range affect her augmentation in any way? Could Anya use the bullet types as a 'signal repeater' if she needed to relocate in a hurry and would be moving out of range of devices already in place? [/quote] Great idea. Making the bullet type less powerful, with less range and unlike the normal device, lasting only a few minutes would make it so the normal devices would still be the better choice, and the bullet type only a 'backup' if things don't go as planned.

[/quote] Their range is pretty ridiculous, so that isn't something Anya should be too worried about. Oh and I had already posted an IMG for the bullet type on my CS XD
