Making several things buildable/upgradable/destroyable

[FreeStylaLT]

 

Currently there's a bit of a downside to many of the station's equipment, some very important, such as the borg/mech recharge stations, the microwave, cryo tubes, cloning pods, gas freezers/heaters, SMES batteries and probably several other rather detrimental things to the station.

 

All of those things listed are not buildable (except for cloning equipment) nor are they upgradable OR destroyable. What this means is that they are all working off the basic components, like micro-manipulators and basic power cells, which means that they are very inefficient and there's nothing anyone can do about it, because there's no way to BUILD new better ones and there's no way to UPGRADE the current ones either.

 

What I suggest is adding circuit boards to those items and making them all buildable and/or deconstructable, so R&D would be able to help everyone out by providing upgrades to the SMES, microwaves and cryo/cloning equipment and others. This would allow the station to improve in efficiency as the shift goes on and as R&D does their job. This would make the borgs', chef's, Engineering's and Medbay's jobs easier, as the clones would come out more perfect, cryo tubes would heal faster, borg/mech stations wouldn't take 5 minutes to charge them and the chef would be able to make more/better food.

 

I honestly don't see much reason why this shouldn't be implemented, as everything else can be upgraded, but not those things for some unknown reason.

Pretty sure there is always a reason for the things being the way they are now. As Adr said it could be exploited if it can be deconstructed ... Or buildable too

Atleast coolers should be buildable.
