Equipment Bond modifier missing

There never was an Equipment Bond modifier. Equipment Bond gives a bonus when using a particular piece of equipment (i.e. a Hand Scanner that gives +1 to Electronics Operation (Sensor) when using it). Except for Weapons, no piece of equipment has a skill value to associate with it, so there's no place for GCA to track a skill bonus with it.

There is a Weapon Bond perk and modifier, which should be present in most (if not all) equipment listed as _Perk: Weapon Bond. For the odd weapon that doesn't have that for some reason there is a modifier called Variant: Receives Skill Bonus which can be added to any piece of equipment (not just weapons) and will adjust the skillscore for the weapon or equipment.
