Need help with an update to RUE

Ojahee Cyborg.

This partial Conversion beast is a trained soldier with Supernatural Strength, decent skills and good Mdc.

My issue.
Perception bonus?

A lot of OCCs don't have one.

I was starting to make a complicated list off the top of my head but I scrapped it. I would just give them a +5 for "Cybernetic senses" and call it good.

Kind of where I was at.

Adding in perception ugh, RUE changed the entire backlog of world books by making theme out of date :/

A slightly more complicated, yet still relatively simple, way to do it would be to just assign a +1 perception bonus to every system which enhances sight or hearing, then only allow that bonus if/when the system is active and would be helpful towards perceiving whatever is in question.

It is worth noting that the Cyborg in RUE didn't add any perception bonuses for those items, which seems silly. Glistam's suggestion seems a good idea. I'd also note that a Crazy gets a +3 to perception. You could compare the senses offered by the Crazy class to those offered by the cybernetics to see if the bonus assigned seems appropriate.

The O' Borg is also a trained and Hardened soldier. They are technically "Partial Conversion" Cyborgs.

True, but being a trained and hardened soldier doesn't seem to be taken into account in RUE as a factor; for example, body fixers, Juicers, and Headhunters all get +2. Doesn't mean that you shouldn't include it as a factor as you house rule it, just commenting on how things appear in RUE.
