I'm down for this, though there's some specifics that get in the way of this being as simple as it sounds.
1. What happens when a borg dies, but robotics doesn't have a spare handy? Would they immediately respawn into the new frame as soon as it's ready, even if the brain is stolen but not destroyed?
2. What happens when borg's can basically have bonus lives? They don't need to worry about cloning mishaps or their brain being destroyed after the unit is damaged enough, they just return immediately. Are they going to value their own lives less? Are humans going to value their lives less since ofc robotics has backups ready?
3. What happens when those latejoin cyborgs are used by latejoiners? Are the cyborgs going to groan now since their backup is now gone without any control over it, are they going to pester robotics for yet more backups even if they're busy? Not to mention, any latejoins could mean drastically increasing the amount of spares.
4. What happens with robotics? Are they just going to become a robot churning simulator as the metallic storm washes over us all? Not all labs are made equal, what happens in stations where there just isn't enough room for backups for the 4 borgs?
5. What happens if someone, trying to prevent these revives, spaces a backup? Will the revive work on suicide, since they're spaced with potentially no way of rescue? Would that count as griefing?
