being able to late-join as a borg

[Embolism]

why do people who join as cyborgs in the first place get light frames? they should be standard parts, light parts are supposed to be for when you have metal shortages, kind of discourages me from being a borg.

When does the station ever have a metal shortage?

The idea of light borg is 1. to nerf Borg rampages and 2. give the Roboticist more to do (don't like the frame? Ask the Roboticist to make you a stronger one). Plus I actually prefer the light borg frame, it's much faster and looks slightly creepy to boot.
