* AIs can turn off the APC power or just equipment power. Now, this seems like such an obvious thing, but when an AI actually realizes that it can easily do this, a whole range of options for interacting with the world open up. For instance, the PC Special, as I call it; lockdown and depower the brig and cap's office when we really, really do actually need to be leaving. Chemistry or other high-risk areas, if a traitor busts in or something, can just be temporarily depowered. Etc, etc. Such a basic AI power and a lot of AIs and crew forget that you can do it. | * AIs can turn off the APC power or just equipment power.

* When AI, tune one of your intercoms to 135.3 (command channel, speakers only) and one to something like 144.1 or 144.3 (speakers only) and then go around the station turning every intercom to that freq with mike on. You gain an instant spy network that allows you to see far more than you usually do. ADDED: Disable the intercom's speaker and enable the microphone. | * When AI, tune one of your intercoms to 135.3 (command channel, speakers only) and one to something like 144.1 or 144.3 (speakers only) and then go around the station turning every intercom to that freq with mike on.

* As malfunctioning AI, Machine Overload is your single most potent ability and every instance you buy of it gives you another 2 uses of it. It lets you near-instantly destroy the devices that are most dangerous to you, such as the chem dispensers, the DNA modifiers and the robotics control console. | * As malfunctioning AI, Machine Overload is your single most potent ability and every instance you buy of it gives you another 2 uses of it.

* The AI can do everything an engineer with a multitool can do if it has camera view of the equipment, and much faster and more efficient. If a bomb or the Singularity destroyed only half the equipment, you can often reroute radio traffic through the devices that remain. As an extension of this, if you can spare the time as rogue AI, rather than switching off the Telecomms APC you can also kill the network links one by one, add filters to 0.1 and then switch all devices off. It'll take engineers forever to fix that. | * The AI can do everything an engineer with a multitool can do if it has camera view of the equipment, and much faster and more efficient.

* Upgrading the cyborg recharge stations with better capacitors or power cell will increase the charging speed. Upgrading the manipulator will repair the cyborg! Convince the Scientists to do this as soon as possible if you are a rogue or malfuctioning AI. Self repair and fast charging for the borgs is critical for raising an army using the borging machine. It is also helpful for repairing the poor mining borgs that get trashed by the asteriod monsters. | * Upgrading the cyborg recharge stations with better capacitors or power cell will increase the charging speed.

* Door crushing does quite some damage. Use it when you're malf or subverted, it also stuns people and you can kill them rather quickly. | * Door crushing does quite some damage. Use it when you're malf or subverted, it also stuns people and you can kill them rather quickly. | ||

* There is an easier method to kill an AI than to thermite in: science should build an AI circuit board, cut cams all around arrivals, build it next to a wall comm, and put a brain in. Law 1 AI, other AI is killing humans, turn off the APC in the core while I distract the AI. | * There is an easier method to kill an AI than to thermite in: science should build an AI circuit board, cut cams all around arrivals, build it next to a wall comm, and put a brain in.

* Cutting power by turning off the SMESes is no longer a good idea. The emitters run directly off the grid, so turning off SMES output will result in the singularity escaping in a short time.

* Cyborgs can close doors extremely quickly by having something activated in one of your three slots. This closes it like you were a normal person with access who clicked it with their bare hands. Saves you opening up a window and then clicking 'Close door' and such. Also, shut the door behind you if you're entering somewhere important like EVA for christs sake. | * Cyborgs can close doors extremely quickly by having something activated in one of your three slots.
