Can Robotics be Saved?

[RubberRats]

1: What if you couldn't select cyberlimbs at all in customisation and had to go get them at robotics
2: What if MDirs were more willing to allow robotics to build multiple AIs? I've never had an MD let me do this on RP and not only does it give you more AIs to build it also comes with their shells and maintaining those.

I don't think these changes would have much positive impact. At least on RP, most people taking robotic limbs are doing so for flavor reasons, and I don't think having half a dozen people shuffling in to receive their Canon Prosthetics at roundstart in addition to the cyborgs already there for their mandatory screenhead and treads makes for especially compelling gameplay. Additional AI cores are at most two extra things to do, and having multiple of them can be hard on antagonists trying to stay stealthy.

I think robotics could benefit from having something to do when they don't currently have patients. I like the idea of custom robot critters. Might take a crack at them once I'm finished with my current projects.
