Varlun Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Kinda dumb that it's 1. And it doesn't seem to increase as the round goes on. If possible, I'd make it so the slots automatically increase. Let's say you get 1 slot per 20 people, the number doesn't really matter. Having only ONE slot is really absurd. Apparently HoP can increase the slots, but does that EVER happen? Probably not. If the slots can't automatically increase as the round goes on, then I'd increase the number of slots to 5. 3 at a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landerlow Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I support this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apneaman Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Would be great especially for mid rounders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZN23X Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) +1 Tho realistically you can spawn as a civilian or any lesser role and be borged. I know the idea is to save that step but, roboticists new stuff to do too lol I bet @Jared12100 supports this Edited May 3, 2017 by ZN23X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiberDark Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I support this. And midrounds the roboticist is often dead ssd afk or arrested or has no resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpose2 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) This proposed change is up on Github as of February by @tzo - https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/6605 The powers that be are still debating this one.

Varlun Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Not only do they take 3+ months to make a decision, but they seem more inclined to keep it the way it is and instead, REMOVE the posibrain from robotics. I'm speechless. Pathetic if you ask me. Not trying to be rude. Just throw up a damn poll or something, or TRY it for a while. MOST people seem to want this to be a thing.

Purpose2 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 With the server de-listing, it is much less needed to increase the slots, but I do think it should happen. No need to be rude at individuals, particularly Markolie, he is a good guy, and isn't directly involved in any of the delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiberDark Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I looked as a hop i cant open cyborg slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saywat_the_15th Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) I don't know if this absolutely neccessary. Seems like on most rounds i play with the population being around 60-70~ there seem to be borgs of all kinds going about. There's a functioning robotics office most of the time, from what i've seen. Upping the slots wouldn't neccessarily be a bad idea, but having a lot of round-start borgs takes something to do from robotics. This also could prove to be a problem in one other way too. Cyborgs are rather powerfull things, not OP, they have some counters. But they have tools needed for the job with them at all times. They are also durable and space-proof. They are strong. The point here is that round-start + robotics borgs could equal to a lot of cyborgs onboard at once. And having a lot of borgs on at once could be a problem.

Varlun Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 The only thing upping the slots will do is affect round start. having too many at start is a legitimate concern. So let's assume worst case scenario, all slots are taken at start. How many do you think is appropriate at start? I say minimum 3, and 3 is probably the sweet spot. 5 would probably let everyone who wants to play Borg spawn as one at start, and give the roboticist nothing to do for a time. 3 would potentially leave probably 1 or 2 people out, giving the roboticist something to do. The problem with only 1 slot is that leaves too many wanting to be borged at round start. the positronic brain goes off instantly, and 1 or 2 people show up wanting to be borged. That's a lot of work for typically 1 roboticist. 1 is retarded, 2 is still too low but would be a lot better, 3 I think would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiberDark Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Three sound fine to me, in the survey only 10 % of station population play silicons. so 6-8 people per round with an average of 75 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sargash Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 That's insane. Maybe one extra borg at round start. But you can get a lot of borgs throughout the round. I've seen 15 one time. You just have to built a frame, and put someones brain in an MMI, or activate a positronic brain. That easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
