While losing module slots is a pretty good analogue for crit borgs really lack anythng to match slowdown from damage, embedding and bleeding.

Humans have been made a bit more complex in how damage effects them but borgs are sorta out of date and simplistic.

I suggest the following:
1: Instead of embeding borgs have lodging, which can also happen from being attacked in melee occasionally (to make whining sorts feel they can matter). Literally throwing a spanner in the works object will jam in the borgs gears and occasionally immobilise them until it falls out causing some brute damage during.
2: Oil/lubricant leaks: Borgs instead of blood should contain lubricant and leak it when damaged like humans bleed. This won't kill the borg but losing a ton of oil will make them very slow. Not really sure if oil should be a new reagent or we should just have a tank of space lube in robotics, using a container with lube in it on a borg should refill their reserves maybe give engineering borg a container for transferring this.
3: Anti borg chemicals. Rather than having total immunity to chemicals iron reacting or straight up acids should corrode borgs. If you get this sort of thing into their lube tank borg is fucked. Rust should be like clone damage for borgs until cleaned and re armoured.

Feel free to suggest other effects.

We already have an oil reagent I think

Well that is good to hear.

>Tanks of space lube in robotics
NO WAY THIS COULD GO WRONG.

Or worse, having your roboticist die while replacing your cell

I could definitely get behind space lube actually having a use in robotics

It would make sense for lube to be a component in mech and cyborg construction, too.

I could get behind it having any nonantag, nongrief use at all.

i suggested giving space lube a legitimate use as a way to speed up borgs and make doors open silently ages ago but everyone said i was stupid for trying to legitimize it, so fuck all of you

i also suggested shitpostily afterwards that covered in space lube should let you slip out of handcuffs and grabs easier.

Space lube will have a legitimate use the day ERP verbs are implemented.

Man you are just full of stellar ideas. Both of these make sense, add them

You actually come up with pretty good ideas when you get drunk and shitpost
