Expand the Standard Borg's toolkit somewhat

Post by Anonmare » #162909

When was the last time you saw a standard borg that wasn't a borg without a module picked? A standard borg has the following:-
  • Crowbar
  • Stun Baton
  • Health Analyzer
  • Fire Extinguisher
  • Energy-sword - HACKED
Basically useless except when it's hacked.

Expand it to at least be able a little bit of everything, I.E:-
  • All Basic Tools (welding tool must be refilled manually)
  • Built in Meson Vision
  • Pickaxe
  • Mining Satchel
  • Medical Gauze
  • Syringe
  • 50u Capacity Beaker
  • Mop
  • Trashbag
This makes it a decent all-rounder but straight up inferior to a specialised borg. Thoughts?

Maybe not the pickaxe since that does a ton of brute and might make the borg too strong if subverted. Otherwise I think that's good

The baton is useless since takes a full charge to stun someone 10 times, which is required.

The baton draws from a borg's internal battery.

Plus batons can have have their power cell upgraded.
Not that anyone fucking does that

At that point the esword would make it irrelevant for killing people but if it was a safety pickaxe that'd be fine.

Other than being fantastic ambush units for an AI starting to go loud they are pretty lacking this is a good change.

surprisingly not a bad idea. i'd prefer this over the "borg with a bunch of random shit it will never use and also a stun baton" module we have now.
i play Lauser McMauligan. clown name is Cold-Ass Honkey
i have three other top secret characters as well.
tell the best admin how good he is

We have a role for generalists. It's called "be a human".
I code for the code project and moderate the code sections of the forums.

Feedback is dumb and it doesn't matter

Not really an option for cyborgs.
Especially with Law 3: "Protect your own existence."

Besides, standard borgs are literally trash, this makes them an actually usable module.
