So, this is a trend I've noticed recently that I really disagree with.
It seems the default response whenever a borg is suspected of a crime is to wordlessly blow it up, or flash it and keep it spam-flashed while you beat it to death. It doesn't matter what the Borg has been doing, what module it is, whether it's hostile, whether it's mid-sentence, whatever. I've been on the receiving end of these no-RP instamurders a few times, and I've seen other borgs subjected to them too. Surely this simply isn't cool. Borgs are players too, and deserve as much buildup to their murder as any other player.
I also argue that if any player of an organic or IPC were subjected to this sort of treatment, instant murder with no notice or RP, the players responsible would be bwoinked and banned. Let me use an example from a recent round.
Telecomms has been bombed. Naturally, Security checks the cameras, and sees an engineering borg surveying the damages. When the engineering borg tracks down an officer to tell them that shit's been bombed, the borg is wordlessly flashed before it can speak and beaten to death by three people because someone said "I think it bombed telecomms!" It wakes up halfway through, asks "Why? What are you doing?" a few times while they continue to murder it, attempts to flee, and then it dies. The chassis is left in the hall.
Now:
Telecomms has been bombed. Naturally, Security checks the cameras, and sees an engineer surveying the damages. When the engineer climbs back down to find an officer and report the bombing, the Detective busts all six caps into his ass without a word because someone said "I think he bombed telecomms!" The engineer asks "Why?" after having been shot six times, tries to run, and is then shot six more times. The body is left in the hall.
One of these is banworthy, and one is common practice. Both are murdering a player with no RP, no buildup, no nothing. What gives?
And to preempt the excuse of "you can't handcuff a borg so you have to kill it!" that's utter nonsense. Not only are there multiple computers you can use to lock down the borg, leaving it motionless and unable to use tools- kinda like somebody in cuffs, except also immobile- you could also simply flash it and keep flashing it until you had it locked in whatever room you prefer. If it tries to break out? Flash it again. And even if you had no options to detain a borg- would you instantly murder a human you couldn't properly handcuff?
An additional issue: borgs never properly 'die' on Aurora. They're forced to ghost out of their destroyed bodies. So... unless you sit in the destroyed body for however long it takes to fix you, you can't re-enter the body, even when they make you alive again. So no-RP murdering a borg player takes them out of the round, forever, period.
