HG Wants to Remove Standard Borgs
Hey guys remember back when I said removing secborgs would just end up with borg players migrating over to another module to validhunt, standard borgs?
Well that happened so now HG wants to remove standard borgs
Stop this autistic cycle of removing the meta every few months, it's exceedingly stupid design

Its just an excuse to "gradually" remove silicons entirely.

Secborgs were vaguely debateable but this is just going to end with a witch hunt for engi borgs next, then medborgs, then borgs entirely, then the AI.

Re: HG Wants to Remove Standard Borgs
No it won't. The rest of the borg modules have their own purpose and are 100% fine. None of them can ambiguously toe the line like the standard and sec borg ones could.
And from an admin perspective, you could not just "ban" borgs who validhunt. Borg laws are already a mountain of snowflake so trying to decide if something is okay or not is like walking into a fucking courtroom. Going past that and banning the person from silicon is just going to make you look like an asshole.

>Have their own purpose
Haha yeah man that's why there's always like three engi borgs at any given time with none of them doing their job.
>Just ban them
Genius, just ban all the silicon players who validhunt. Like it's totally fine if the crew does it, but a borg with laws ordering it to prevent harm? SHIT MAN NO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE NEUTRAL FUCKING ROBOS GET OUT OF MY HUGBOX REEEEEEEEEEEE
You're never going to convince me that anti-silicon players aren't just salty that they've been dunked by silicons in the past and just want them removed because they're mad.

Re: HG Wants to Remove Standard Borgs
I've wanted to make the standard borg module into a general, unspecialised module for a while but when I tried to write up the module and test it on my own server, it fucks up all sorts of shit and I don't know where to begin because I can't code my way out of a plastic bag.
The equipment I wanted to give it was;-
A stripped down toolset (Emergency welder -10units of fuel, screwdriver, wrench, crowbar, wirecutters and multitool) + fire extinguisher.
Enough metal for and glass for 10 sheets of each.
A very poor medical set-up:- Health analyzer + syringe + medical gauze + small beaker.
A safety pickaxe + mining satchel +mining scanner (no mesons).
A mop + trashbag.
A hug module + spray can.
Replace the stun baton with a telebaton.
And a flash by default.
Essentially, make it really unfocused and inferior to a dedicated cyborg module/properly-equipped crewmember but can perform at any job.
Unlike, say, an engineering borg trying to mine or a medical borg trying to clean up some blood.

Re: HG Wants to Remove Standard Borgs
Remove the fucking stuns from this borg there is absolutely zero reason for it to have it considering that the codebase is moving away from 'harm police silicons' and it's only used as a validhunt tool

Considering the borg gets an e-sword when hacked, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with making it useful AND giving it the one-two zap and slap e-sword rombo combo.ShadowDimentio wrote:Leave the stunbaton alone and that sounds like a good idea.
I mean, with a telebaton you can literally escape by smoking a cigarette or hitting yourself up with an epi-pen and requires the borg being on a help intent meaning you can run past it.

Also HG is actually trying to remove the module entirely not just the baton, although the baton is the only reason pick the module when not hacked

Re: HG Wants to Remove Standard Borgs
Borgs shouldn't be arresting people. That's all the standard borg can do right now. Hence why the stun baton should go.
I code for the code project and moderate the code sections of the forums.

Re: HG Wants to Remove Standard Borgs
Go ahead and improve standard borg then, but don't give it a telebaton. If you give it any kind of fun police stun outside of a flash it'll just be abused.

Re: HG Wants to Remove Standard Borgs
i think you all forgot the purpose of the standard borg
standard borg is to modules what assistants are to jobs:
the fallback
they are coded so that if all other modules/jobs are unavailable, it falls back to standard/assistant to prevent being moduleless/jobless

You see the guy who coded the syndiborg was mathematically incompetent and thought a basic esword could 3 shot crit people.
I tried to tell him but falling on deaf ears you know like with the anti borg husks.

Re: HG Wants to Remove Standard Borgs
How could people not see this happening?
The security borg was removed as it did not fit the design vision of senior admins/leads
This has exposed that the standard borg also does not fit this vision?
It's an obvious end game

Re: HG Wants to Remove Standard Borgs
Did you know with borgs literally having less ranged capability than a hulk your had counters extend to but not limited by: damaging ranged weapons, thrown items and last but most certainly not least RUNNING AWAY!
Borgs are naturally slower than you just run away from the standard sprite like holy fuck god damn how stupid are you dolts? BUT VTECH OR A BOLTED ROOM! Deal with the roboticist if that even becomes a thing again I see cyborg upgrades so rarely now this tripe is most likely in response to nothing as it comes hot on the back of the last in the conga line nerfs with no waiting for anything to pan out. Oh and the people in support have already established they consider a bolted room anywhere on a station a death sentence so like a borg with a stun matters.
You don't wait for things to pan out to see if the "problem" of synthetics has been solved plainly because you know your problem cannot be solved because you are the problem.

Re: HG Wants to Remove Standard Borgs
So how are borgs supposed to be robust when they aren't asimov for once?
I haven't seen people try to change AI laws except to subvert them in fucking months because of the massive discouragement now to give AIs something fun to do besides be a doorknob or harm alarm. Getting to play non-antag AI is slowly becoming shittier and shittier because of all the unjustified silicon nerfs because the playerbase whines every time a borg smacks them.
If you wanted borgs to be true neutral you should have approved the inaction clause removal.
God forbid borgs, a player type with a huge number of weaknesses and limited functionality, gets a stun when not emagged.
Everyone validhunts, but people only whine when they get valided by a borg, especially if the borg was following its laws.

borgs are robust when they're not asimov because they can get emagged/hacked by their traitor AI, or by the person who subverted them and access the extremely powerful traitor modules?

Re: HG Wants to Remove Standard Borgs
You need a borg with a default stun for them to be able to drag people to a cyborg converter (because the robo console has probably been destroyed by the time it's been put down), since it only works on living people.
Either reduce the stun to a telebaton or make converters work on dead bodies otherwise the robot army objective is going to become too difficult to actually accomplish.
