While I think that making borgs unable to grief eachother via unlocking the robotics console or eachother is a smart move, I think removing one of the only ways to actually emag a borg is a bit much. Successfully emagging a borg is already a fairly rare situation to begin with, and now it’s essentially limited to one department, which means that the moment a borg is confirmed to be emagged, security will be able to know who did it. I propose that one charge of an emag can be used to forcibly unlock and open the panel of a borg, with a second charge being used to actually emag it. This way, an emagged borg is still a threat to the crew, while being a bit more costly on the emaggers side to do. Otherwise, I think borgs should be allowed to unlock themselves again, because preventing borgs from unlocking themselves can and will lead to annoyances (one such example is a borg needing to backpedal to the science lab to get a new high capacity battery installed if they got one from sec).

AFAIK, borgs can unlock themselves. Unless something changed?
no, it was recently changed so that borgs cannot unlock themselves. prevent borgs unlocking eachother and robotics console by deltanedas · Pull Request #27888 · space-wizards/space-station-14 · GitHub
you can emag a locked borg to unlock it
am getting conflicted reports in this thread, so which is it? What is the situation now?
