Medical boosters: Difference between revisions

Line 661:

The attribute bonus given by Cerebral Accelerators varies by type and method of acquisition, but all Cerebral Accelerators boost all attributes by the same amount: a booster might give a +2 bonus to all attributes or a +4 bonus, for instance, but it will not give a +2 bonus to some attributes and a +4 bonus to others.

Like normal boosters, all Cerebral Accelerators occupy a booster slot, meaning that pilots cannot use two different accelerators at the same time. Like normal boosters, Cerebral Accelerators have their duration (and therefore potential total SP gain) increased by the character skill {{sk|Biology}}.

Like normal boosters, all Cerebral Accelerators occupy a booster slot, meaning that pilots cannot use two different accelerators at the same time. Like normal boosters, Cerebral Accelerators have their duration (and therefore potential total SP gain) increased by the character skill {{sk|Biology}}. NOTE: The current Biology skill level in effect at the time you inject the Cerebral Accelerator will apply to its entire duration even if you train additional Biology levels while the booster is active. So, if you have not trained Biology yet, you really ought to get it to IV or even V before using a Cerebral Accelerator because (at level V) it will double the duration and therefore the total benefit you get.

As noted above, boosters and implants occupy different slots, so pilots are able to use a full set of attribute-boosting [[implants]] alongside a Cerebral Accelerator. Unlike normal boosters, and unlike implants, the cerebral accelerators stay active even if you clone jump or get podded.
