[SS14] Borg Wars; Rise of the Shadow Factory

[@Yarkoonian]

That guy who was looking at you on the monitor. I feel for him. he got ignored so hard. People are so blind.

[@ruzefosho]

That dude RPs, the rest were clownin. Anything like that being mentioned from crew monitor or map addition is immediate reason for command to freak out.

[@Dremaus1911]

thats why Yuki will punch you if you ignore her. :p

[@Liltenhead]

I welcome our robot overlords with open arms.

[@Dremaus1911]

i was stealthfully killing a few of the borgs lol

[@cainprescott4937]

Liltenhead supports the Borg Revolution. Viva la Robotics.

[@iamsidzilla]

The factory must grow.

[@cainprescott4937]

And grow it did.

[@willzile1]

The factory must grow.

[@Sneaky_proto]

Roso was correct in his beliefs, the factory is our basilisk, let it grow

[@HanakoHashbrown]

I was the QM in the first shift. I kept telling security that salvage kept ordering resources and guns behind my back and they just largely ignored me lmao. Tried numerous times to keep all the spesos on me but someone got a head to yell at me over "hoarding the cargo money"

[@thenerfkid9228]

Look dude sometimes you just have go up to sec directly and file a complaint

[@thinbug00]

gosh this is some peak villainy, you are even making the crew aware of your presence x33

[@ARMOK.]

Dude notoriety is the name of the game imo, nothing is better than an actually scary traitor.

[@Spams-the-lasers]

I thought it was an admeme event due to the sheer amount of emagged borgs and just gave up and hid in the library until evac, good job!

[@aspiringlich1841]

I was a borg in this match. Definitely one of the most interesting rounds ive played!

[@TheSilvernuke]

Man I would love to have participated in this, but unfortunately the one thing that I regret and loathe about SS14 is the pixel based movement rather than tile movement. I would totally be playing on those servers right now if they had that implemented.

[@night_44000]

"Whats the shadow factory??" ^clueless

[@memes_the_dna_of_the_soul5487]

Just imagine this with A.I. More specifically, Malf A.I. _"I'm Sorry Captain, I can't do that."_ When Malf A.I gets intoduced, may I suggest the following Bundle for traitors. The Robo Revolution Bundle. (10 TC) _"Turn the Station itself against the crew!"_ This bundle includes a Binary Translator Key, an Syndicate Lawset Board, and an Emag.

[@memes_the_dna_of_the_soul5487]

The upside of the Syndicate Lawset board over the Antimov board is that the Syndie lawset maintains secrecy, and isn't nessicarily out to kill you on upload.

[@dtdumb]

ngl it's a more versatile antimov lawboard wich tbh is cool... you can do the same with just an emag and binary key without the board and tell the ai to kill any non-crew to fuel the FACTORY

[@KingMako30]

Intro music from Robots, I love that.

[@Vinzaf]

Oh so that's what was goin' on. Me and my musician friend were just playin' dope-ass tunes watching the borgs go crazy.

thumbnail moment. also based chop shop reference edit: i was also the spider ert who was healing and basing around engie in evac, i think we put up a really good fight, or at least i did

[@ARMOK.]

You guys put up an amazing fight! I think almost every borg was dead by centcom

[@regicider3505]

Villany comes so naturally to him

[@chadosmen]

holy cow we need a full full shift of the factory owning the station XD

[@_Jay_Maker_]

God, Loop Hero has such a banging fucking soundtrack. This game never ceases to amaze me with how open ended it is. You can do practically anything. Catching Ops finding out about the Factory was a genius edit, too.

[@Mitzrz]

loop hero OST really fits the vibe ngl

[@StoneBox_761a]

God i just love how several borgs just made a new branch of the station and made it so that it would start to grow like a foreign tumor, great shit.

[@thedoc7184]

This man is like the John wick of nanotrasen. He can cause mass destruction with anything

[@Otto_Von_Beansmarck]

FOR CYBERSTAN!!!

[@Mudsson]

Every time I get syndie science and I wante even ONE borg helper we do not get any materials whatsoever I swear lol.

[@nogitsunegaming]

Jeez, these are some robust as hell borgs

[@CoffeePowered]

was in both shifts but i think i was off doing my own shit. The fog in the second one was me, managed to get 80k kPa of water vapour and released it all at once XD then i casually just went to evac and the borgs were kind enough to leave me alone

[@a_person5660]

i have tried this a couple times now but the hardest part was getting materials. i had the most sucsess playing salvage solo but that round ended very early so i only had five borgs made at that point.

[@ARMOK.]

Yeah I got extremely lucky with cargo either having money or salv mining

[@a_person5660]

@@ARMOK. borg army is my favourite strategy as a syndie but you gotta get the stars to align to get it right.

Gotta respect the Salvs team if they focus on mining, doing god works.

[@admiralobvious]

I was literally just playing Loop Hero just before I watched this video, thought the game opened on it's own in the background. Command definitely looked pretty incompetent tho.

[@ARMOK.]

Command did what they could, but it was brutal since there isnt really a counter strategy developed and this is a nukie level threat

[@admiralobvious]

@@ARMOK. I mean, they can cut you off with a wirecutter and/or an EMP. If you let the borg army get that far, command has clearly fucked up.
