Lunar Charm X But Better
[General]
4th Attribute Augmentation: Impossible Attribute Improvement, but better.
[Combat]
Piston-Driven Megaton Hammer: Double successes for damage. Possibly an Impressions of Strength edge, or another Lunar charm, but not yet in existence.
Unstoppable Impulse Engine: More effective Ferocious Biting Tooth [eliminates PDV rather than halving it], or less effective Lightning Stroke Attack [only eliminates PDV, 3m less cost]. Suggest improving FBT to eliminate PDV completely.
Electrification Onslaught Dynamo: Doesn't fit Lunar dynamic.
Essence Irradiation Corona: Dear GODS; Impressions of Strength (but better) + Unstoppable Lunar Wound, without combo, without minimum ESsence limitations, without RLF need. Plan to completely rework IoS and ULW.
Toroidal Shockwave Catalyst: Doesn't fit Lunar dynamic.
Shock and Awe Cannonade Delivery: Doesn't fit Lunar dynamic.
Protosynthetic Ammunition Replicator: Doesn't fit Lunar dynamic as-written. Would be handy for Lunars, though.
Aim-Calibrating Sensors: Really nice. Make matching Perception charm?
Recursive Fractal Targetting Calculators: Octopus and Spider Barrage; Ess +1 attacks. 1m more, but can use one weapon rather than flailing with all limbs. Will probably rework O&SB to reward multilimb users rather than punish weapon-wielders.
All-Inclusive Targetting Calculations: 5m, undodgable attack. Similar to Unstoppable Impulse Engine. Interesting, Lunars have no 'make this attack undodgable', except Lightning Stroke Attack. Maybe room to expand...
Transmodal Rapid Targetting System: Ess +1, 3m per attack [2m recovered if attack hits], must target multiple enemies. No real parallel. Possible upgrade to Many-Armed Monkey Style.
Dedicated Harmonic Targeting: 3m, ignore cover. E4: +2m, ignore armor. Similar to Consumptive Worm Hungers [2m1wp; -1wp] +Riding the Secret Wind [4m; -2m]. Tweak those costs some?
Accelerated Response System: 2m, Golden Tiger Stance but weaker. No boost needed.
Precalculated Evasion System: Flowing Body Evasion, but requires two fewer prerequisite charms for the base 'dodge any dodgable attack', and costs +6xp submodule, and +1m per activation, to dodge undodgable attacks. Upgrades with another 6xp submodule to last one tick for +2m. Might tweak Flowing Body Ascension accordingly.
Omnisituational Evasive Equation: Prepare a PES in advance, activating it as a noncharm action. Would REALLY be nice to make an equivalent for Lunars, given Relentless Lunar Fury.
Impenetrable Repulsor Field: 6m, truly perfect parry. Ess 5, Dex 7 upgrade allows One Action parry for +3m. Consider that as tweak for Flowing Body Ascension.
Celerity Enabling Module: 5m Bulwark Stance or 5m1wp Fivefold Bulwark Stance vs one target. 3xp upgrade allows switching of targets for cheaper.
Integrated Arsenal System: Installed weapons. CotSM is better! Although more expensive. Want to tweak CotSM anyway, so the entire charmset doesn't have to revolve around its' mass and be weaker to compensate. May use IAS and the other charm as ideas.
Chemical Fog Generator: Not too applicable. Maybe a late upgrade to Substance tree to exhale gaseous poisons and the like.
[Mass Combat]
Hundredfold Strafing Methodology: Dex 5 Ess 3, 5m1wp, acting as solo unit, ignores magnitude bonuses of target, improves damage. New equivalent charm: "Herd-Thinning Tactics"?
Semiotic Flare Projector: Various mass combat effects. Not really appropriate to Lunars, though maybe a version for hardening troops against the madness of the Wyld and granting resistance.
Tunnel-Fighting Omnibus Implant: Unit can fight in close formation really, really well. Might make similar charm for Lunars to lead 'relaxed' formations that fight with semi-chaotic fluidity instead of rigid order, as interesting distinction.
Clockwork Soldier Pattern Projector: Handy submodules for defense, a Lunar trait. Make similar charm for enhancing mass combat in defense of a city or other important place?
Strategos-commander Synergy Circuits: Act as all three types of special unit for commander, loan charm use to commander. Could be handy charms for Lunar. Possibly enhanced use by Solar mate?
Omnipresent Guardian Directive: Protect soldiers from death due to magnitude loss. TOTALLY Lunar-appropriate.
Unifying Resurgence Assembly: Mostly not too applicable, but bonus for rallying in home territory seems appropriate.
[Survival]
Strain-resistant Chassis Modification: Ox-Body. No change.
Pain Suppression Nodes: Doesn't quite seem right for Lunars. Maybe a version to add current wound penalty as bonus to supplemented action, Fury-OK ["Raging wolverine" type deal]
Subcutaneous/Exoskeletal Armor Plating: Close to fair because it does require extra XP per enhancement, even if the commitment ends after 2 installations. Maybe subcharm to cheapen use of HTE/AFM?
Light-Etched Interceptor Barrier: Shiny shield doesn't seem all that Lunar-y.
Transitory Invulnerability Engine: Perfect soak seems like something that's weird that it's been missing.
Essence Shield Projector [3m commit!]: Anima banner being hardness seems off for Lunars. Not bothering.
Alloyed Reinforcement of Flesh: Recovery could be appropriate. Fatigue elimination might be appropriate. Separate charms, though.
Body-Reweaving Matrix [1m1wp]: Less powerful than BRE+HTSF, so not worried about it.
Bodily Integrity Field: One Great Weakness goes poof. Oh, well. Can see Lunar equivalent after HTSF to instantly heal a crippling wound as a simple or miscellaneous action.
Aegis Integration Field: Armor=better seems off for Lunars, so no.
Enshrined Divinity Apparatus: Maybe an upgrade to S&T tree.
Industrial Survival Frame: Lunars have this already, without the basic 1m commitment. Is probably fine. Might tweak Center or add Heaven to give a roll vs shaping effects ala what IPP should be.
Biofunction Inhibitor: 5m, indefinite. Feign death. Can see it as a Stamina charm
Sustenance Replication engine: Moonsilver Stomach Conversion.
[Speed and Mobility]
Personal Gravity Manipulation Apparatus: Spider-Foot Style. Lunars could use a version. Is slightly tweaked up from Solar version here. Oh, well.
Gyroscopic Stability System: Graceful Crane Stance. Have it. Could use anti-enemy submodule, though.
Parabolic Leap Overcharger Drive: Monkey Leap Technique -Reflexive Jumps. Lunars could use a version.
Momentum Redirection Pulse Injector: 3m, instant effect, reflexive Jump. Might fold into Lunar Monkey Leap Technique.
Plasma Thruster Array: Flight via charms seems odd. Is what HBR is for. Could use a 'move fast to body slam' charm, though.
Fluidic Impeller Drive, 2m, indefinite: Upgrade West Mastery Technique to eliminate underwater mobility penalties?
Paramagnetic Tether Beam: 6m, one scene: Doesn't fit Lunar dynamic.
Dynamic Reaction Enhancement System: Wasp-Sting Blur requires a MASSIVE upgrade to match this. 2m per flurry [3m for noncharm] vs 4m per action in the flurry? Yyyyeah.
Incomparable Efficiency Upgrade: 6m1wp, requires DRES: Can accept this as relevant to my Intelligence charms.
Transhuman Efficiency Relays: Many-Armed Monkey Style is identical, but more expensive.
Magnetic Joint Bearings: Not terrible. Lunars can do one better with HBR and multiple limbs
Limb Extension Armatures: Have a knack for this.
[Social]
Patriotism-Provoking Display: Not so much a Lunar trait
Perfected Union Patterning: Not so much a Lunar trait
Industrial Champion Icon: Permanent; Could make something similar for vs Wyld creatures
Rogue Cell Isolation Protocols: Could be inspiration for Lunar charm
Transcendent Brutality Programming: Nasty. Doesn't quite seem in Lunar defender schtick, either.
Pheremone Regulation Systems [4m]: Might improve the Emotion Charisma charms [Terrifying Lust Infliction, Perfect Fear Scent, etc] to match this.
Unobtrusive Repartee Baffles: This would be pretty nice for Lunars, though less necessary.
Motivational Vocoder: Overriding motivations doesn't seem all that guardiany.
Personality Override Spike: This and upgrades is definitely moving out of Lunar theme.
Thousandfold Courtesan Calculations: Could upgrade Perfect Symmetry for the intimacy-forming bonus or the like.
Radiant Iconography Array: Illusions are only a Lunar trait in the Wyld at best, sadly. No kitsune for me, boo hoo ._.
Emotive Aesthetics of the Body Electric: Glance-Oration Technique, but leagues better, with a tiny flaw. Definitely tweaking that.
Pattern Facilitation Module: Taboo Inflicting Diatribe with limitations. Not all that Lunar-y.
Conceptual Entropy Module: Taboo Inflicting Diatribe with limitations. Not all that Lunar-y.
Agenda Recalibration Protocols: Taboo Inflicting Diatribe with limitations. Not all that Lunar-y.

Programmed Catechism Rebuttal: 4m or 6m [outside of Autochthonia] perfect social parry. [Guardian Interjection Node] Substitute own Parry MDV + Compassion for target's MDV, if higher, even vs unblockable attacks. Costs -1m per use until attack targets Alchemical
Empathy Simulation Engine: 1m, scene-long: Ignore Clarity penalty to Compassion and social actions, but lose no clarity from interaction, and gain one clarity from simulating emotions.
[Stealth and Disguise]
Integrated Artifact Transmogrifier: 5m, indefinite. Hide non-Internal charms as if they were internal. If all charms are made Internal, may perfectly pass as mortal. [Loom Server Migration] Creates innocuous destiny of Mask for alchemical. [Essence-Muting Baffles]: Internal charms are invisible to essence sight. unless active and obvious.

Hidden ASsembly Conclave: 1m2wp, share Optical Shroud
Aura-Dampening Component: No cost, Stealth and Disguise charms, or charms used purely for stealth or disguise, do not add to anima banner.
Stormwall Interrupter Circuits: 1-3wp to eliminate anima banner. Less damaging than Solar version
[Analytic and Cognitive]
Anticipatory Simulation Processor: 2m to remove unexpected quality from unexpected attacks, or against visible physical attacks, eliminates onslaught and coordinated attack penalties. +1m vs outside of Fate and Design targets, -1m vs mortals. [Intuitive Necessity Algorithm] +2wp to activate as noncharm action vs surprise attack

[Labor and Utility]
Synergy-Promoting Upgrade: Teamwork provides successes instead of dice [Communal Supremacy: Every teamwork success also converts one normal die into a success, along with teamwork-related stunts]
Omnitool Implant: No penalties for crafting without tools, counts as Master's Workshop, +3 die situation bonus on tool-benefitted rolls like lockpicking [Comprehensive Surgical Systems] No penalties for medicine without tools, perform surgery with only one level of damage, halve surgery tmie, adds one success to surgery, succeeds on bleeding staunching and infection treatment. Second installation condenses one hour of treatment to one miscellaneous action. Third installation lalows 5 minute procedure to remove crippling injury less serious than amputation. [SEcondary Telefactor Assembly] Crafted mundane items are exceptional. Second installation makes perfect goods.
Creator Fugue Construction Engines: Double augmentation dice and successes for craft actions enhanced by omnitool implants, as well as double charm dice cap. [Architectural Army of One] Character and equipment act as unit of [Essence] magnitude for large-scale construction projects such as manse building.
