I feel this is important enougb to show again. Borgs being borgs shoulr nevet be seen as a "bad thing " and the "poor tormented trapped soul' thing mosyly seems yo be a way to demonize the players for okayi games the game in the expected ways the game was intrnded.
I think the item should just flat break borgs. I had personally originally thought emaggimg their limbs woild work, howeber i feel this is a better solution.
Since people are talking about the Fun of having ion things work in tandium I get that. However, my counter point is:
Is the emag INTENDED to be mass used rapidly and freely?
This is something that i think bares important consideration.
Prior to this Emags where an antag producing item. Like a mindhack. That could be used infinitely instantly and freely with what seemed to be no reprocussion of requirement to rp. To the point of having emagged frames sitting there for late joiners.
I was guilty of this behavior. I think it was massively bad. I regret it a lot.
As it currently is the emag now breaks borgs. Like it does for everything else.this makes the borg potentially dangerous or erratic.
If people won't treat a lawless borg as broken then i believe the brst answer is to not mass produce lawless borgs if for some reason the desire is for emag to go back to being breaks anything opens anything does everything AND also makes infinite antags i think its cost needs massively increased or alot more adherence to mindhack rules need to be applied to it.
I like thid emag change. As a sec main and silicon player
