Int bonuses

[J J]

Why do the SF and MC5 equivalent chips no longer give any int bonuses? A spy now has no 'useful' imps that give any bonus to intelligence. Seeing as the high level nanite tools require 100 int, any non WoC spy is at a huge disadvantage by virtue of the non WoC PA's having an int malus. This means they must remove their PA in order to inject nanites. This may not be a big issue on the TS where everyone can reach WoC at the click of a button but I can see this causing uproar on the retail server when WoC has to be earnt.

So much for woc not being essential for pvp/gameplay.

Perhaps the better question is why the int malus on the PAs ?

Most of the PAs need tweaking , atm the PSI WOC pa is almost useless since it has a focusing malus that costs the runner approx 100 skill points. While the non-woc pa just has the ath malus (which costs nothing if the monk specs 0 ath)
