Make electronic junk useful

[passerby]

So far, various parts that you scavenge from disabled bots are only good for selling to pawnbrokers. How about you can use it to upgrade your current weapons, armors, and/or surveillance kits (with the latter, maybe even build your own from scratch). An Electronic check failure, of course, makes the upgraded item disappear.

This sort of thing is coming in a couple of weeks. And has been for six months

But we get a safehouse improvement every release now, so the workshop must be coming soon ...

Ok, so what about simpler (I hope) task - use these parts to create various electronic doodads, similar to surveillance/phracking enhancers, only they'd be one-time items. There also might be some gadgets doing things similar to what implants are for - lensware, retinaware, etc. - without DV impact, but with high breakage rate.

@passerby - that would be the type of thing a workshop in a Safehouse could do
