not to mention that if you honestly think that borgs are just as easy or easier to defeat than human sec officers when playing as the average antagonist, you need to reevaluate that because you are incorrect in the most factual sense
Every antagonist has hard counters to borgs (EMPs, guns, screech) or doesn't give a single fuck about them (blob). If you're SERIOUSLY that afraid of the big bad secborg but don't take anything to counter them it's your own fault when you get fucked. Removing things because of bad playing is a fucking stupid way to do things.
It's like bringing a knife to a gunfight and complaining you keep losing until the guns get removed.

having a single forced counter that you have to play by as an antagonist or else you get instadunked by a borg is not good gameplay. ss13 benefits from variety between rounds, and with borgs having so few counters, there is very little room for said variety. i do not think what you pointed out is a good reason to keep secborgs.

But I understand the frustration, because it honestly basically does boil down to "It's too hard to deal with" from the anti-secborg peoples. They want a single be-all-end-all means to defeat any opponent they may face.
Maybe there should be more flashes laying around maint or antags should be able to buy laser pointers or whatever if that makes them happy.
But you know how the parapen used to be an instant knock out? Blind, paralysed, muted and deafened? And how that was deemed too OP and nerfed? Well Borgs were nerfed to have flashes and laserpointers and all other forms of EMP just like that. And flashes have muliple uses without cooldown. You can disable a borg with a single click and can kill it with whatever you have at hand. And every antag has that, some even have it build in into other abilities or get it for basically free.
Maybe it's easy to forget all these rounds in which Secborgs get disposed of by antags rather easily.
You can kill a borg with a flash, but you can also kill anyone ever with a stunbaton. It's functionally exactly the same except you can't kill them with the same flash, since flashes can't be used to beat people with and nobody really carries them anymore because they also don't stun people. Furthermore, good fucking luck ever getting near them with a flash because they have a disabler with like 90 shots in it that they can spam forever and kill you with.

I just dislike Sec borgs because Security is meant to be the main push force against round antagonists (outside of vigilantes and self-defence). Security Cyborgs add another, equally powerful, push force against antagonists.
Silicon's will continue to help security if there is no sec borg, but it'll be in more of a support role than a direct action role.
You can kill a borg with a flash, but you can also kill anyone ever with a stunbaton.
And a stunbaton doesn't even blind, mute and deafen the victim. A flashed borg cannot even cry for help or see what's going on.

This might actually be a player problem on the silicon's side as the primary priority for security borgs should be to prevent harm (depending on laws). Like I've said before I've seen many rounds in which silicons and security are at each others throat because of that.
Maybe giving the secborg a different painjob (blue or whatever) and calling them "peacekeeper" borg or whatever would get the message across better. Even though you already get a big red message once you choose secborg that tells you all that stuff already.
HYUK HYUK GOOD LUCK GETTING CLOSE WITH A MELEE FLASH!
You do know you can still use button a flash to white out the screen of people around you right? I mean it is one of the few melee weapons that protects you at all even if it is pretty ghetto.
Anyway this is a relentless march wonder what the people behind this want next.

After extending the trial due to initially promising results, the headmins have decided unanimously that removing secborgs seems to be a net positive. We have another test as part of HG's wild ride, but it won't be for a week or two as it requires a new config option.

last time i tried this on a borg it didn't actually stun or blind them at all
that was a while ago and i havent tried it since then but i'm pretty sure the AOE flash only works on carbons

On the topic of other tests, no security and lessened greytiding rules would be an interesting thing to see. Assistants would be tasked with breaking into the brig and fighting over all the loot they could get their grubby hands on.

Sounds like your average mid-pop no-sec round. Why would this need a test if we already get rounds like that occasionally?
As a sometimes borg player i am kinda glad they are gone. I always hated getting borged only to have people to tell me to go secborg because we have no security (again). I just wanna mop dammit

Overall the removal of secborgs has been pretty smooth. The only issue I've seen so far is that it's very hard for borgs to prevent human harm now when someone starts murderboning. You're basically useless outside of dragging bodies because every other way borgs have to prevent harm would cause harm. You've got a flash but that burns out quick and you can't cuff anyone. It's probably just an issue of getting used to it. I used to frequently change to a sec borg when shit hits the fan.
Edit: One idea that might be interesting. Maybe code a special reset board that will turn a borg into a sec borg. Make them un-printable. Put 1 of those boards inside a safe that will only open during red alert, like those space suit lockers on the pods. Put the safe either on the bridge or in the RD's office. That way when there's a major threat to the station a sec borg can be made to help defend.
The IC reason could maybe be that Sec Borgs are incredibly dangerous when they go rogue so they should only be used in an emergency. Like Revs, Cult, or Gangs when they go out of control. Or Ops.
An unslaved Asimov Sec borg could be a kind of an emergency trump card. That way you don't have a validhunting silicon ruining the round for antags all the time but you still have the option when SHTF.

By the way, Borgs now seem to be randomly knocked out by damage (even lasers) which if I'm not wrong about this (and I just had a round where I was knocked out by a laser) this is a pretty huge nerf.
Plus Silicons now have ZERO ranged options, meaning humans can just run circles around them and shoot all day every day.
