Give Cyborgs a Flavor Text Box - The Panna - 07-30-2024
I think it’s a really big missed oppurtunity to not give Cyborgs flavor text to give some extra RP flare
The best idea I can think of on how to impliment this is to add a “Cyborg Flavor Text” text box below the preferred cyborg name box
But i’m sure there are other ways to do it
All in all I just want that cyborg players are given even more tools to express their amazing creativity in their characters

I've seen this discussed in the discord before between devs, and it always seemed to come down to just waiting for someone to implement it, preferably with an overhaul of how borg/ai character customization is handled in the character creation menu.

The two big obstacles i can think of are how cyborgs need parts to be made and customized by a roboticist, thus potentially making cyborgs very dependent on a third party to look the way they want
Second is the fact that cyborgs come both from outside the game (roundstart) and need to be made in game (robotics). Putting another obstacle in the way of things
I have it difficult to think of a way to remove the cyborgs dependence of roboticists to get the parts they want but also not removing the cyborgs use of robotics entirely

Afaik someone's working on a cyborg overhaul that adds customization, which likely will add that too.
