transparent skin is a moderate cost cybernetic implant which upon installation provides the user with +3 DV.

This boost can stack with other sources of DV and is roughly equivalent to having 6 additional points of Agility when calculating +

Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages

• Strong boost relative to license cost.
• Provides a noticeable improvement to survivability at all stages of the game.
• Grants some protection against various later game creatures that possess deadly avoidable attacks which otherwise largely ignore the user's AV. Such attacks and creatures include:
  • The mutating gaze of gamma moths.
  • The Willpower-draining strike of enigma snails.
  • The limb-dismembering beam possessed by decarbonizers.
  • The limb-dismembering claws of astral tabbies.
  • The barrage of HE Missiles fired by chrome pyramids.
  • The instant death or dismemberment-inflicting attacks possessed by certain castes of cherubim

Disadvantages

• Can be made somewhat irrelevant with more careful play.
• +3 DV can alternatively be obtained by injecting 6 Eaters' nectar injectors and boosting agility, freeing up the body or backslot for an implant with effects that cannot be as easily replicated, such as magnetic core,phase-adaptive scope or medassist module.
• Moderate cost can be a bit prohibitive depending on the user's license tier and build goals.
• Ranged attacks are generally easier to avoid than melee ones, potentially limiting the cybernetics defensive utility for more ranged-focused characters.

Tips

• Notably useful for more melee focused characters,
