I know this won't be added, but it's kinda odd to me that it's fine to make your flavor text whatever you want as a human: "She has 6 arms and snakes for hair," but the same suspension of disbelief is not extended to borgs.
I can kind of understand the reasoning that a roboticist might feel odd that their creation's flavor text isn't exactly how they built the borg. Still, the cyborg dock is fully capable of adding little hats, wigs, and paint jobs to the borg that the roboticist has no say in. So why can't it do a bit of detailing? It's fun flavor!
I also disagree that human sprites are somehow vastly different than silicon sprites in terms of expressing visual identity. Just as a human sprite can't convey a tattoo on your neck, a silicon sprite isn't flexible enough to display the number 7 painted on the side of your screenhead.
It's unfortunate that it won't be added!
