How much do the cybernetics for a Nepleslian cost?

Let's start with something like a thousand KS per "part," more or less depending on features, construction, and condition (used parts? >,>).
 
I would say it depended on several factors:

a) Implant Type and Make. (eg - Corneal Implant by Generic Industries)

b) Implant Functions. (eg - Infra-red, zoomed or enhanced vision)

c) How it's being (or was) inserted. (eg - illegal surgeon, internal construction via nanites)

d) Whether it's legal. (a scalar pulse weapon embedded in your arm, or a muscle enhancer?)

Concept table. Tell me what you think. So far, only what goes where :P
 
This is a bit off-topic, especially since this was way back when prices and the economy of Nepleslia's cybernetics were a bit more open, but could @Gunhand4171 or @Ametheliana let me know if we still sell any of the Nepleslian cybernetics? This isn't including generic ones (which AFAIK do not require a pricing or even an item page for things like a new arm or organ replacement), but primarily the named/special ones.
 
I feel like there's an opening for a well-done cyberware manufacturing corporation. There's often mentions of cybernetics but not a lot details on where they come from.

Technically there is one. AFAIK, Psychopomp is the current "open market" cybernetic group. However, they've died off on that recently and focused on other things I think? There's also many cybernetic modifications that exist in the Nepleslian market but are military restricted these days.

I definitely agree that a cybernetic market has some traction, though. I'll add it to the Ken-TEC future list (and I'm sure @Ethereal is stalking this and planning it for his company now, too) of products they can offer. It makes sense at least, since cybernetics assist in construction.
 
Saiga Psychogenetics technically makes bioware (as opposed to cyberware) for non NH-series bodies as its main product lines. Kind of like what the Iroma ended up doing with their biotech on culture-wide basis. But I don't enjoy writing cybernetics/body add-ons so they just have guns, ships, and mecha.

What sort of body modifications are actually desired by players of core systems characters?
