I'll keep this brief.
Darkness is now very dark. Pitch black inky darkness. Light, and by extension the replacement of light bulbs, has now become important for actual functionality.
Now to the point: The Engineering Borg is very good at repairing breaches and general building. But once it's done all that, it's now faced with a pitch black room. This is a glaring issue and very disheartening when playing as a borg to the point where the Engineering module is practically obsolete when repairing.
A simple tool would fix this, a Light Fixture Installer or Light Tool for short.
The light tool is very simple. Hit wall/floor to install fixture. Press in hand to switch between tubes, bulbs and floor fixtures. Clicking a fixture with the appropriate setting (i.e Tube setting for tube fixtures, etc) will install a plain white light.
While this suggestion was to include the Light Tool to also install different colored lights, I saw this causing bloat. A small change to how lights are installed in conjunction with this, which borgs can avail of, is also necessary.
Light boxes now are like sticker/patch boxes, containing twice as much lights (the glass cost doubled to reflect this). Clicking the box will pull out a light (like stickers/patches). Clicking-dragging the box to the fixture will also install the light.
This makes makes lights far less inventory greedy (fucking bag of boxes is lame), easier (no more rummaging in boxes, as it works like stickers), and the click-drag allows borgs to install any light necessary.
These changes are long overdue, but are pretty important now that light has been made dark as heck.
TL;DR:
1. Borgs have a Light Installer to install any light fixture and replace standard lights
2. Light boxes produced at the GM are like stickers/patches, with twice as much and work with click-drag.
