If you want there to be a tradeoff between eye enhancing CBMs, there needs to be an actual tradeoff, as in preventing the player from installing both.

I don’t think there should be a trade off. My statements where more about getting rid of the diamond cornea, putting the perception bonus on a new CBM or redoing the diamond cornea CBM with actual sight values instead of just buffing perception. But since you mentioned it I kinda like the idea of having a limited number of CBMs per body part but that’s more of a future plans thing. I could see adding some conditionals to some CBMs in the mean time though. Like the CBM that replaces your hand with a blaster and the metal claws CBM. Gotta pick because you cant uninstall that first one.  
Edit:Lots of mistakes

We have handedness now for watchs, sheathes and possibly gloves. Why not left arm blaster arm, right hand claws and/or monomolecular blade? I like being an OP cyborg monstrosity that can shred things up close or blow them up at a distance.

How about a system where you need certain cbms to install another? Like there say there is a cbm that gives you integrated power armor (just an example…)then it would require a power armor interface to use.

Mutable levels that uninstall the lower levels when you install a better one. Id like to see more like that one and one’s that can’t be installed along side others. Like you have to choose which path you want to take.
