Starting equipment for TL9-12

Cyber stuff doesn't bother me; it makes sense people would have it, but also that it would have downsides. Wafer jacks are great. I think they actually have a lot of use that most players don't leverage - expert programs, sure, but you could also have all kinds of databases and library data inside your head, and it is good if it isn't obvious. Like in bargaining, or in a diplomatic meeting.

Yep. I always have a Translate/0 program going for the local languages. It doesn't help lots but it does help. And the local Library Data from the starport as well.

That's perfect. That would have been useful when I had a player eavesdropping on a conversation in a foreign language, and she wanted to run the translator program on her communicator - the problem being, that it would start speaking the translated words out as she tried hide where she could hear through the dumbwaiter shaft. (In the end, she had to just record it and have it translated later.)
