Questions about implant upgrades

[xarfaks]

Can I change or replace implant upgrades later?

No. You can't remove implants (or upgrades) once installed.

That sort of sucks as this requires meta game knowledge.
As you find the implant upgrades over a long period of time. So you do not know what you are choosing between and what you will lock yourself out of......
Maybe either give the information about implants upfront or let us install implant upgrades over each other. We loose the upgrade we had installed but can make an educated choice.

You are given the information up front. The medical machines describe all available implants and their effects

Really also the upgrades?
That I did not notice I remember we were still unsure what the upgrades will do.

[Mechalibur]

The upgrades aren't in the game yet. When they are, the medical machines may very well have that information.

It's a little confusing because the 'upgrades' as we think of them from the medical machine, like Combat Reflexes for the Dexterity implant aren't in the game yet, but you can "upgrade" the Intelligence implant with the Bridge Officer upgrade (stolen from the Church crypt), but it's not an implant upgrade, more like a bonus thingy. There's also overclocking, which is kind of an upgrade for an implant, but is called overclocking. I'm sure terminology will be ironed out later.

Also willing to be a shiny nickel that the 'upgrades' themselves will likely change between what we see now and final form.

Wait so the thing you find in the crypt is not one of the two upgrade choices that locks you out of the other upgrade????

AFAIK, but I don't have an authoritative source, I know the Bridge Officer implant will do something when you get to the Bridge location eventually, but 10% XP doesn't seem comparable in power to the other Intelligence implant upgrades, and you can "upgrade" it via a different menu, so, I don't think it does.

[xarfaks]

And this is why we need better descriptions for all this stuff I left the thing uninstalled thinking it will lock me out of better upgrades.....

It's not =)

We'll work on making it a bit more clear.

When can we expect the xp bonus from int implant and bridge officer upgrade to work retroactively?

Right after the shotgun dude from samuel fight learns to reload his gun prior fight
