How does starting as a Cyborg work?

[hearty iron]

I noticed it's possible to start as a Cyborg but I've been hesitant to select it because I have no idea what it entails?

you'll be a cyborg with the choice to choose one of the bodies
once you choose it's permanent
you will get the basic module thingies

I can't pick anything up so I hate it

[stray cloak]

yeah no hands
You can drag stuff, but it's not that handy (heh)

Also borgs are getting some QOL changes

[tawny ridge]

probably obvious but playing a borg means you won't lose or gain money

which can be nice sometimes

[shadow marsh]

no one

hires you

you get bored

cryo after 10 min

thats roundstart borg gameplay

once that is emerged I'm probably going to start Cyborging all the time

on side note we need to let cyborgs open bank accounts

Should also add the chassis variations. Do you know how great it is looking like a giant walking warbot with a front mounted gun, people asking “what in the hell are you” and just responding “Oh I’m a MedBorg, where does it hurt little guy?”

As for how roundstart Borg actually works? Right now? Not good.

People already don’t really hire people with a wider range of abilities and “haaaands”. So your ability to get on a ship is RARE at best. Medical ships will sometimes pick up med Borgs because as fun as being medical can be it’s still not typically large group so being able to grab some help that doesn’t get paid is nice I suppose.
