The Roboticist's Dilemma

[Lord_earthfire]

Allow specializes sub modules to be created at high cost to give borgs new.utility that require someone to install into their frame
Examples:
Ghost drones cardboard rcd
A repreasurizing augment
Improved mining tools
A built in pill/patch manufacturer using carried fluids
Upgraded fishing rods
Cement dispenser
A built in packet sniffer
A serving tray
A feed grinder.

I think we can take a look at how ss14 handles modules. Instead of stuff like "engineering module" they got single modules for cable work, materials and other tool categories. They can stack up with a certain amount if these, allowing more customisation.

It would be worth to look at ripping up the cyborg modules and create modular toolsets. This would allow us stuff like e.g. move the rcd of engineering borgs into a submodule the robotocist could work on aquiring. It would also enable us to give robotocist traitors a module that, for example, adds predator revolver with ammo synthesizer to their syndicate borg.

In general, such a system would enable robotocists to customize borgs and would allow us to cut down the evergrowing lists of items we need to give borgs so they are able to do all jobs. Instead, we can just add a "angler" or a "rancher" module and be done with it.
