I just HATE it, it is without a doubt THE.SINGLE.WORST.FEATURE in the game.

People flip their shit if some update randomizes all characters and many try to have a consistent name for whatever role they play. But Borgs are completly at the mercy and competence of the Roboticist when it comes to their names.

Yes I realize that pretty often the Roboticist is both willing and able to just give you your goddamn name, but very often they just forget it and stuff your MMI in or they give you some stupid insulting name or they just screw up your regular name.

And I fucking hate how almost nobody seems to understand how frustrating this is. Many people say "Just pray, most admins will change/correct your name." well that's simply not true because it has only worked twice for me so far during the 2 1/2 years I've played so far.

And then there're the people who say that it's a good thing, because borgs are supposed to be "punishment" jobs, completly ignoring that the vast majority of all borg players are volunteers who more often then not rush to Robotics to be borged at the start of the round.

There's literally no good reason as to why a borg cannot simply customize his own name when the MMI is inserted into the body.

It just doesn't even make sense on any level at all. You can name the robots whatever you want, but why would you ever give the power to name a player to another player?

Really the only reason this stupid rule exist is that it is valid and legit, coder and admin approved grief.

And I also know that many people are just like "Durrrr it's just a name you autistic faggit, duurrrr" and that may be true and if you don't care that's your deal, don't force others who do care to suffer for it.

But I've been ranting about this stupid rule for nearly 2 1/2 years now...

Even better if I check suit sensors, and see an Unknown in the armory, captain's office, or other high security area.

After the first traitor round I was found by suit sensors I never made the mistake of leaving them on again.

I'll explain this in a story format, skipping to about halfway through the round...

Sure, the HoS understood, and the detective vouched for me as well... but still...
