The Roboticist's Dilemma

[Lord_earthfire]

My take is that silicons should not be self-sufficient. Ideally upgrades, repairs etc. would all need a roboticist. Also ideally there'd just be more sidegrades and stuff for the roboticist to actually make.

Frankly I think we should move guardbuddy stuff under robotics. Then we could work on some way for silicons to better interface with buddies (giving them commands etc.) and expand on how modular buddies can be?

That feels like it overlaps with the functions of the current Robotics Control console. We should probably put more info into it and then put one in robotics with kill switch disabled?

Overall agree. I think moving robobuddies to research would be a good idea. Also, modular borg modules would really help.

But in general, robotocist suffers because the ease if cloning and the self-sufficiency of borgs.

Personally, i though about implants. Modular, heck, maybe even mechcomp-compatible implants would work for robotocists. Medbay is about people-enhancing, see genetics. So that angle can work.
