Secborg replacement: Peacekeeper Borg [PR now up]

[paprika]

Bottom post of the previous page:

That was a changeling.

I get it, you want to be able to validhunt one round, and then be a super powerful antag the next. NO ROLE GETS TO DO THAT. SECURITY HAD ITS ANTAG REMOVED FOR THIS EXACT REASON.

Ahaha what? Antag before job is a thing man literally the hos can be jamming jackboots down your throat one round and be a holocookiecutter the next with no change to preferences.

Aye, but you can't do that as an officer.

[Drynwyn]

I may or may not be able to do git things this weekend; coming to the end of a semester and I have a lot of work to do. We'll see how it goes.

[Armhulen]

at first I was really for this, but I kinda see why people don't like it now
if people want to play secborg they play standard
besides, if they want to play peacekeeper they play standard anyways because one of these has the best anti harm tool
the stun baton
is there really something this will add to the game, though? I want the egg and the first skin idea you guys came up with as skin choices for standard borg though, would be fun.

[Incomptinence]

I like the idea it can disarm a situation without depending on restraints or security facilities. Just keep putting people to sleep until they wise up and stop being shitty like bartenders.

A lot of people want the stun baton removed from the standard module. Also, standard has no ranged option

Iirc no borg has any ranged option anymore, which is a problem since humans can just run circles around borgs throwing or shooting stuff.

if the stun baton is removed, okay, sure I guess, but until then I can't support this.
I kind of like no borg having a ranged option, considering they have no slowdown of any kind, but this one might be a redeeming point I guess.
I do love the skin though, good job.

People seem to forget that borgs are meant to occasionally often go rogue or get subverted.

Nice meme

[Drynwyn]

anyway the actually PR will be up !!eventually!! but the git stuff made it take until finals for me

Those conclude next Wednesday after which I will actually have time.

So probably expect a PR with the actual peacekeeper next Saturday.

[DemonFiren]

Hacked love eggs should - no, need to - get a cyborg SMG or maybe even LMG.

Eggcellent, I am quite eggstatic to test it. I've prepared many egg puns. I hope the test will run fine but you always have to break a few eggs...

Since the EGGlauncher is out of question for now it would be pretty awesome. Would also give the Silicons a harmful ranged option (which they really need) and isn't as powerful as a laser since you could limit the amount of bullets and they can't shoot through glass and such.

Though I dunno if they should be able to slowly auto-regenrate bullets (could be like holographic bullets or whatever) or have to use a recharger. Or have both and have the recharger just be fast while auto-regen is really slow.

Make them donksoft loaded with riot darts and can only be regenerated while in a charge then maybe that'd be acceptable.
The secborg got put in the trash in the first place because of it's spammability disabler/laser.

I'm also concerned about the number of hacked options it has, all the other borgs only get one dangerous module when they're emagged and this seems like it breaks the mold too much. Just my opinion.

i thought we fixed that. was that not fixed? D:

[Luke Cox]

As far as the official PR it only has one hacked option, which is the chloral injector

[Atticat]

I came into this skeptical, after reading about the HARM ALARM I must fully support it.

[Armhulen]

augh i am on the border of liking this

[kevinz000]

https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/17355 for those who don't go on github to see latest code changes to get a gameplay advantage erm I mean to see latest code changes to know what's going on

[Luke Cox]

They're test-merged now. So far the reception has been quite positive, only recurring criticism is that hacked peacekeepers need to be toned down.

[Reece]

So they're playable now?

>not making the secway a dead secborg

[imblyings]

further proof that cute anime girls cute borg sprites help sell things

[Reece]

I miss secborgs.

[Armhulen]

I miss secborgs.

I don't.

[InsaneHyena]

I miss secborgs.

I certainly don't. Every time my round is ruined, I'm content - because at least secborgs have been removed.
