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

*safety pickaxe* turns in the real deal when emagged

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.

We have a role for generalists. It's called "be a human".

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.
