The most important channel for silicons is the easiest to miss in the walls of text they receive.....

Give it the centcomm channel color. On the odd chance they have to piece out binary from centcomm messages (see never) then they can do just that like they've done plenty of times with binary and normal text.

its not that it's hard to read, its that is easy for a cyborg to miss because it's just grey like most of the other chat they see (While it stands out for the AI against all the green radio chatter which is all they hear)

It is unfortunately common that borgs do not notice commands over binary channel, especially when dealing with people who aren't used to playing borgs.

This seriously made an impact on the game.

I can literally coordinate with my borgs in ways that I couldn't do before.
