+--- Thread: Minor Metalcubing as deployed borg/shell locks you in (/showthread.php?tid=9323)
Metalcubing as deployed borg/shell locks you in - Roomba - 09-08-2017
As the AI, if you deploy to a borg/AI shell, get in a locker and turn yourself/get turned into a metal cube, you're stuck in that form and can't return to the mainframe. If you die in that form, you just turn into a ghost, compared to when you would normally return to the AI core if your shell dies.

it does seem dumb but also seems like a feature. although personally i think metalcubed ai shells should kick the ai back to the mainframe, and make the metalcube an NPC

This is sorta like the thing where using a borg to touch a light grenade ghosts you (mightve been fixed)
If I had to guess it's because the cube is no longer the shell, codewise

Yeah that’s not a feature, the AI shell being metalcubed shouldn’t lock you into the cube forever.

I'd be fine with it as a feature if it was only possible for the AI to screw themselves over with this, but it could easily be used to screw over AIs caught unaware or off-guard.
