Making round start borgs have standard shells.

[Frank_Stein]

Typically, I solve this in-game by asking the roboticist to make a better shell for me and pop my brain into it.

You know, I think this thread gives me a whole new idea about how borg frames work

What if there was a prefabricated frame that was the default for borgs. It was weak, but all you would need to do to construct a functioning borg was build that and insert a brain

Then all the limbs and other pieces just snapped right onto it, providing additional armor and functionally. Remove parts by aiming on the doll and using a wrench. Screwdriver takes out pieces like modules and brains.

You could create more borg arm/leg/head/chest variations and make limb swapping as meaningful as module changing

Overall not too dissimilar to how borgs already function, but it saves a couple of steps in construction and deconstruction, and avoids the popup menu involved in robot construction
