Require emags to have access to the maintenance hatch to emag doors. Regular doors now just has to be screwdrivered and Command doors has to be crowbared AND welded to emag.
The Engineering Borg RPED should at least work the same way as the handheld version. As it stands, the borg needs to completely deconstruct the machine and rebuild it with new parts.
This is obviously a problem with certain machines that require parts a borg can’t place (like beakers), or machines that need to be synched to the ore silo.
This is especially wacky because the handheld, less complicated RPED to use, requires far less research. I would make a regular RPED part of the default Engiborg loadout and replace it’s current place in the tech tree with a Borg BSRPED.
12 AM idea
Probably not small but it’s 2 things, a special camera for curator that lets him turn on “video” aside from taking photos. This video works similar to spyglass from detective as it is a camera of the surroundings of the item, but it also transmits audio.
This video can be seen in a console present on all departments or if you want to be simpler any news caster and tvs if there are any. It would probably have a bigger range of video too than the spyglass.
Do real time reporting with this!
…or do a lo-fi curator stream, whatever floats your boat.
this would also make Engie borgs useful in Sci and general maintainance.
so far Engie borgs either A: stay in Engineering monitoring the SM, or B: work on the hull of the station when things explode, with the honorable mention of Shuttle construction.
You could have Engie borgs circulating the station with their RPED, doing the upgrade work that Scientists and Engineers hate doing, because it usually requires them to hound folks for department access, while still keeping the need of them to do this due to aforementioned unique components that aren’t considered stock parts.
You don’t need that long, was the Guinea pig in a speed run of teleporting abuse. Set the beacon on a launcher aimed at a teleporter, set teleporter to the beacon. Fire launcher, watch the target speed through the teleporter umpteen times a second.
