Actual cyborgs: Humans, but fitted with a heavily invasive special NT-brand cyborg rig, that requires at least the chest and arms (and their contents) to be synthetic.
Round start cyborgs would be completely synthetic.

Add a flag on character preferences, called "Don't Bother". You set this if you want antags to "not bother with you", and not to waste their resources and takee risk in attempting to get you to be an antag helper.

Module contents:

Borg has built in gas tank. Using an air analyzer on the borg can show its contents.

Bag of holding upgrade: Pocket of holding.

You could make all aimed wizard spells summon a ball of magical energy in their hand, which can be dropped or disarmed to dissipate, and they have to aim and shoot it like a gun to use it.
Could even switch from a timer-based magic system to a recharging mana-based system, and the spell would draw ...

Guess you could make both hitting with held object and shooting require aggressive grab or higher. Just smacking someone with their limb would basically just be a punch with an alternate message.
Maybe if you're on help intent, it's a slap instead of a punch?

Midaychi

If you are grabbing someone (or higher grab), if you target a limb and then hit someone with the grab (including the grabbed person themselves), the grabbed person attacks with that limb instead of you. If you are targeting an arm and they have an object in that arm, it uses that object instead. If ...

Suggestion to make it so that if you aggressively grab someone who is on the ground, and then drag their body to your hands like a paper bin, you pick them up and wield them in both hands. If you are xeno or strong creature you can then wield them as a robust weapon (though they take damage from ...

A pneumatic cannon is a pneumatic cannon. It uses highly compressed gas to accelerate objects along a tube and launch them at something.
I simply suggest someone add to the loop of code so the used up gas also is ejected along with the objects.

Having them activate when stepped on seems a bit redundant, considering we already have mouse traps for that.

Mouse traps can't tell the difference between different pressures, so the assembly would go off no matter what if it were a mouse trap. If it were an impact sensor, however, you could ...

Currently, the pneumatic canon does not care about what is in the attached tank, besides the pressure of any gas.

Add in a check to see what's in the tank, and eject 'spent' gas in a trail following the projectiles.

That way if you use a tank of BZ or burn mix or something, it'll actually make a ...

Not what you're thinking, probably.

Aggressive grab a body, alive or not, straight into the tube to begin processing it into a shambling meat goop.

New sensor type: Impact.
Uses:
1. When something steps ontop of it, trigger.
2. When thrown at a mob or a wall, trigger.
3. When a concussive force goes off nearby, IE: grenade or explosive, trigger.
4. When launched out of a pneumatic cannon, trigger.

This would mean that you could make bombs or ...

This would just end up in misery.

Trolling aside though, what if certain jobs had a "high priority" flag on them?
Security force and heads, for instance. The game would do its normal job selection pass, then check if the security/command jobs are lacking. It would then check anyone who has those ...

This sounds really neat, but functionally it will be ghetto thermals.
That's the idea. Thermals helped solve and find crimes to detective, but thermals themselves were overpowered and a big game unbalancer.

You have to have a living body or brain or cyborg to get a ghost from in the first place. The ghosts are already in the round, so I'm not sure what you mean? Did you mistake what I was suggesting for a PAI or a POSITRON type mechanic?

Have cameras use the disabled state when ai eye isn't nearby then? Would have double effect of reducing camera cutting meta.

I like it but it shouldn't be a roundstart option in my own opinion

Midaychi

Perhaps instead of a job, you can set 'XEP' to enabled/disabled in preferences.

Maybe max of like 3 XEP at roundstart.

If you have XEP on and get a non-head role, the server might randomly choose to make you a XEP instead of a normal crew. You get job-specific mutations and specializations based ...

So, department assistants, but instead of assistants they're heavily mutated xenomorphs rigged up with cybernetic loyalty collars? I like it.

If people don't want to spawn as xep, then they wont.
If xenos don't want to become xep, then they have incentive to git gud.
The tradeoff of xep is that they get gimped and loyalized but gain the ability to interact with the crew and assist in jobs that normal xenos couldn't do. They can also ...

This would allow you to enslave but enhance xenos to be less dangerous to the crew (though with the option for crew to leave them somewhat dangerous) to perform NT jobs.

- Backpack, neck, id slot, hat slot.
- Innate resistance to some damage types, limited ...

Well that's the thing. The enhancement rig is a one-way change that gives them a few slots and some dexterity-with-limitations. Their starting job would be aiding the mining personnel. Any additional jobs they might take up is up to the crew and HOP.

With the advent of Xeno mining, and a recent treadmill pr on another codebase that I think tg could tote's port, ( https://github.com/d3athrow/vgstation13/pull/5540 )

Preface: This is a terrible idea. Feel free to express your opinion below.
