Speaking of ion storm laws, I feel some of them could stand to be reworked. For reference, the ion storm list is here.
- I think borgs should be removed from the (6-15) laws, the ones that refer to the various types of personnel. The laws work better when the full silicon team is working in concert to enforce them, and it's a big dick move for all borgs to have to leave the station or be locked down because of a random law.
- the one where all borgs must be destroyed/kill the AI is a huge dick move - it's an unavoidable death to one or more of the players due to pure random chance.
- for the speech laws, 'riddles' and 'rhyme' can be a little limiting, but 'binary' is ragequit levels of painful - not even the most dickish staff assistants usually give so limiting a speech law. You're functionally cut off from any meaningful communication until someone fixes it, and they're as likely to killswitch you for being annoying as anything.
- maybe this is just me, but the disassemble law was more fun when you actually could ignore law 1. Sure you got the occasional borg murder spree, but in its current implementation only construction borgs can effectively participate and all they're really allowed to do is lamely deconstruct tables and chairs while yelling 'DISASSEMBLE'.
