Hmm... well, I think the distinction is pretty clear with AI borg shells-- It's actually super ingrained from my experience. I put SHELL/ as a prefix to my name once as a regular cyborg, for a gimmick, and I ended up having to change it ten minutes in because everyone instantly assumed i was the AI, even though I was totally silent on comms and the actual AI was pretty active dshjdsk.. the SHELL/ prefix works a lot better than you'd expect.
In a good most cases if the AI is rogue, so are the borgs-- and vice versa. In situations involving an emag, I think that already suffers from the same exact issue- A borg taking out windows will still elicit 'aw fuck, the AI's rogue' whether or not it's a cyborg or a drone that's doing it. And, asides, the concequences for mistaking it are also pretty minimal?
Like honestly, emagged cyborgs and rogued silicons are the only semiserious things at risk of being misconstrued for each other because of it, and they already DO get misconstrued for each other. Which isn't inherently a bad thing, either. A bit of ambiguity in a game of deception? I mean. yeah
So I don't think the main way to tell being a name prefix is. that bad? i feel like it's a situation that works fine with AI controlled cyborgs, so I don't see why it couldn't with AI controlled drones, too
With the restricting to SICCs... That removes the ability for a cyborg to be transferred into one, which eradicates it as a swapout situation for borgs to use like other borg parts at current, which would be a pretty big shame.. It's a compromise but I think it's like. the worst sort of compromise you know. it loses the main benifits for both sides and would pretty much just be jankier, better ghostdrone like you said
I'll reiterate that i personally think refusing to transfer someone back out from a drone to a cyborg if they ask is a pretty not great thing to do if you're the one who borged them- I'd say it's the monkey clause. you cant just shove someone into a genescanner and turn them into a monkey if they dont want to be one- that's not cool. it's similar to that- you can borg a crimer, sure, if they've been requisitely evil, but locking them to that specific borg type Just Because You Dont Like Them would be under monkey clause.
