Honestly, I had assumed it was intended for AIs to be able to swap cells, and that the restriction was so a borg couldn't swap it's own cell without outside help- The AI is outside help, so it just ma...

I'd argue that even with the shiftclick functionality, borgs were VERY FAR from self-service, and EVEN FURTHER from interacting with the world the same as a human can. In regards to interacting with i...
