[Feature] Borgs should be able to jack into APCs to recharge - kyle2143 - 10-25-2018
In response to this post. https://forum.ss13.co/showthread.php?tid=11216
I saw this, liked it, and made it:
- All borg modules have cell-cables item. Previously only civilian and engineering borgs did.
- The cell cables has 2 modes positive/negative; a red one and a blue one for Donating/Receiving power from an apc.

- I fixed a sort of bug with cell cables in 2016. When donating power, you used to give 2500 power to a cell for 250 internal power spent. That was a 10:1 ratio, now it's just 1:1.

EDIT: There was some extra file I committed, I've removed it from the PR branch. Also the new sprites are in icons/obj/items, and they are also included as a file alone in icons/obj/cell-cables.dmi

not sure the 10:1 was a bug, and i found it useful as a borg, but at the same time it's understandable if it is. personally id say reduce the ratio rather than putting it at 1:1 but its ultimately up to admins to decide whats right

Unless I did this math wrong. If it's not 1:1 both ways then that's a way to make infinite power. Well I guess it already could have been done the way it was before. But if this patch goes through and that is still there than any apc can give the borg full power and the borg could also leave the apc with full power.
