Emag Cost effectiveness; Vs endless borg spam

[Lord_earthfire]

I have seen an AI yelling at sec to arrest any non-racked borg.
And if you read this thread, people suggest "chainsaw to emaggers face" as solution.

You can see where this is going, right?

So what? What is then achieved with the emag is a kill on a borg.

Keep in mind, its a 6tc item. And when it cummulates to a very delayed kill weapon for borgs (which you can get far cheaper and with instant effect with emp grenades) then this is fairly ok.

The emag is among the more unique effect to get rid of pesky borgs being too lawfull.

So, to come back to your previous comment: it's not the borgs "fault" to be emagged, but the emag is meant to be a stealthy and delayed death sentence for borgs. It is the same way not the borgs fault like getting sleepypenned with kuru is not the victims fault. It is the borgs fault, however, if they accelerate that death sentence by going crazy.

If, in the meantime, emagged borgs are a problem, i would also make the emag debuff the borg in some way, like faster draining battery or slowing them.
