Re: Research experiment alternative path
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it. I understand your concerns about balance. The following mitigations are part of the design: - Tech is still gated by research points, so research progress will always be the slower of experiments AND research points. If the machine runs at maximum effici...

Research experiment alternative path
Problem: Experiments are repetitive and get boring when done multiple times Problem: Station power is binary. There's either enough of it, or not. Extra power isn't useful, players build powerful SM setups mostly for fun alone. Solution: Leave experiments as is with no changes. Add a second, option...

You're right that it creates more work for the crew and AI by keeping them around and disincentivizes people from borging antags.

Cases to consider: 1. If antag retains antag status after borging, then borging is not a viable way to remove the threat from the station. Why would I give AA and temp/wound resistance to an antag instead of gibbing? Gibbing doesn't give the player the option to continue playing the round, but it do...
