In thinking about enchanted items and super-tech...although perhaps TW too...do you think there is any appetite/need to build items from scratch as opposed to breathing additional abilities into existing items?
In most cases it hardly seems worth it since our approach, following TW, is "base item plus". So you lose all the "free powers" that come from a base item. However, it might be fun for certain things.
Any thoughts on if it is worth it? Do-able? Or other ideas?

Re: Building from Scratch
Super tech would be easy to build from scratch. Just use the device limitation.

Camo Cloak
- This is an LED cloak that copies and displays the surroundings to hide the user. Viewers beyond 50 feet subtract 4 from their Notice rolls to spot or hit the target as long as he moves no faster than 3” per round. At shorter distances, the sheen of the suit can be seen so the penalty is only –2.
CP-30 Laser Pulse Pistol
ranged 12/24/48, damage: 2d6+1 RoF:3 AP 4, shots: 30, weight 4, cost 26,000 Notes: 3RB, +1 shooting. Optional hip/backpack energy pack grants 72 shots
- modified shooting and extra ap from HJ rolls.
Razor Armor
T4-2044 Flexible Armored Suit (Patron Item)
Created by Claude Pedrovski AKA The Fabricator himself, this suit of light armor was built to assist the Fabricators Inc. Elimination Teams in their wetwork. One non-powered operative on the team wore the armor and with the razor deployed, blocked any transmissions from leaving the site. With no way to call for back up, their targets were easily captured, or worse.
[list]• +3 Armor and +3 Toughness
•Armor was modified by HJ rolls which have been included in stats.
• Gain an additional +4 to resist electricity, radiation, and ion attacks. Alternately, the wearer gains +4 armor versus these effects.
•+2 ranged attacks
•+2 woodland stealth
• Environmental Protection
• No Strength Minimum. (8 lb)
Features:
• Built-in mini-computers for basic functions
• Communications system with a 10 mile range; 20 mile range with Razor deployed.
• Public-address loudspeakers
• Thermal vision mode for vision
• Integrated frequency absorption razor
• • Razor is collapsible, so this light suit may be used as any normal light suit, which is to say it can be worn under clothes or even in power armor, though it does not stack with the power armor's toughness or armor. Razor must be deployed to be used. Cannot deploy if in a confined space like a PA suit or under cramped conditions.
• • Create radio interference at will; this imposes a -4 to any check to communicate with radios. Communication done without a check automatically fails.
• • Dampen electrical energy, causing attacks of that type to do only half damage within the area.
• • • Both effects occur within a Medium Burst Template.
• • You gain +2 to Notice and Survival checks to navigate.
• • You also gain +2 to Notice and Knowledge (Electronics) checks to locate the source of signals.
