Borgs are really only durable to status effectors. Borgs are incredibly easy to kill with the simplest to obtain weapond. A lignt borg can simply be smacked with a fire extinguisher a few times.
I feel my primary issue with the kill switch on rp is one of the reasons it gets used so little. It just stops a scene or rp entirely. I understand the necessity on Classic but on rp the borgs who have become antags via laws SHOULD be escalating the same as any other antag. Something they historically do not always do..
That said.
I think a gps tracking/distress beacon wouldn't balance in the favor of the borgs, more give then a moderately better playing field. A human who has a wormhole open up under their feet to the mass ejector can be recovered if a saw drone happens to be there.
A borg the likelihood is reduced to an infinitesimally amall chance becausenall anyone gets is "borg died in space " message on cyber daemon.
A tracking beacon on borgs would also serve to LESSEN their power slightly when antags or emags. It would make borgs traceable and trackable and a tag borgs usually are tied to an antag human who will typically be trying to hise behind them.
I get like do not remove their weakness. I can even get some of the other arguments even if I don't agree with them. But the no location thing seems archaic at best. They're expensive and dangerous. Why wouldn't nt have trackers for them?
It'd also be a buff to the syndicate frame. Them not being traceable at all would be another point in their very very diminished favor
