Pg. 95 under "Weapon Link to Power Supply." And it only applies to full conversion borgs.

Of course, you could get a second power source implanted for the purpose... so your main one did not get tapped.

Expensive, but S. is right. That's the ONLY way to avoid the problems in question.

I don't know if you used the spell checker or what, but this post is MUCH easier to read than your last one (about paired weapons and an automatic firing method). Thank you. :ok:

You can use either the second power supply mentioned above, or the internal "giant e-clip" style battery. I know it is in the Bionics handbook, and originally in Rifts:WB8, but without books I can't give you page numbers. I would allow the use of the battery to power your weapons, and allow the nuclear power supply to charge the battery while sleeping,or not engaged in combat.

get a borg design that is designed to allow built in/pluged in weaponry to operate. or you can always replace the power source with another one that has a much higher energy output.

It's also why most combat 'borgies come with concealed e-clip ports...

i always considered them as backup suppy just incase the cable runnig off the borgs power system was somehow cut/destroyed
