Description

Ever since the change to borg chassis to require a screwdriver to open, it's opened a noob trap for syndieborg players.

Current behavior is that crowbarring a locked and downed borg will open the maintenance panel. However, if a borg is unlocked, which is quite easily done for syndieborgs specifically thanks to the Access Breaker, they are now locked out of opening that borg.

Here are my three solutions to this:

  1. Give the syndieborg a screwdriver. Its simple and, in the case of derilects, makes opening borgs without gunning them down far easier, which is just nice RP wise.
  2. Make using a crowbar on a downed borg open the maintenance panel regardless of if its locked or not.
  3. Let syndieborgs toggle borg locks. (adds inconsistency between borgs, so not a great idea)

Reproduction

  1. Be syndieborg (or derilect syndieborg)
  2. Shoot borg until downed
  3. Access break borg
  4. cry
