Create a drone type for each department

[Aphelion]

Basically, drones are better than borgs, in every way, and are a great excuse for not being personable with other players, just being wholly productive and efficient by ignoring the AI and not talking to people, all the while making effective changes to the station as a whole.

 

I have a few ideas for how these drones could operate.

Engineering or Maintenance drone: Basically the current maintenance drone is good, though giving them enough wire to set up at least one solar array would be nice.

 

Medical Drone: Give it a hypospray with some tricord and shiz, maybe let it move rollerbeds too.

 

Science Drone: Basically like a mining drone, except with all the equipment for recovering artifacts

 

Hydroponics Drone: Has everything to grow plants, basically a bucket and a synthesizer for plant chemicals, and a seed gripper

 

Security Drone: A god. It should have a taser, a stun baton, a flash, and the ability to cuff people. Additionally adding some more offensive countermeasures if the code is increased, from a lasergun at code blue, to having the ability to suck in small bits of scrap and fire them at the fucking traitors on code red.

 

Command Drone: Yes. A drone should be given authority over the entire station. I'm sorry, but canonically it just makes perfect sense for the biesel republic and NT to permit this. Think about it this way; NT could just say that a command drone is a captain running the station remotely.

 

ERT Drone: You can't look me in the face and tell me that this isn't a good idea. A drone that is equipped with an SMG, a laser carbine, with heavy armor and an inbuilt grenade synthesizer/inbuilt self detonation functionality.

 

Syndicate Drone: Bitch.

 

Let me know what you all think, Personally I expect this to be in the next update, if it isn't, don't come to aurora tomorrow.

Maybe keep the normal drone, but let science do upgrade boards or something for new drone types. But why have a medical drone if they can't interact? But seriously, this is epic. Maybe ERT engineer gets an auto upgrade for a drone if he finds one instead if normally having one. And probably make security drone really hard or administrator spawn only because how you are saying it, it seems more powerful than a fully staffed security team. But yes, this is epic please do something like this. Maybe tone it down a bit though. Also /tg/ already has syndi drones, they are scary.

Jeez, this is fucking stupid. This is bizarro, this is insane. This doesn't fit in our HRP atmosphere at all, jeez, I swear you ripped this straight from /tg/. Nah, give this bad boy zipties and pulse cannons, as well as C4 to pursue running antags, those bastards, ruining my RP with their ganks.

Absolutely, give it an e-pistol for self-defense as well, as well as a little Captain's hat. Putting this drone on top of someone's head should allow the remote command member to control the person directly, for off-site on-site leading.

everyone always forgets about supply

[Fortelian]

Supply is a part of service technically, and he already covered service with botany.

HAPT drones!

Comes in angry red colors, can floor you in one hit and has a specialized tool that pierces and boils your brain to soup for a super quick kill!

Because cmon, HAPT deserves this! They are our unsung heroes, our very own squad of angry Judge Dredds.
Bring our heroes sidekicks to kick sides with!

We need this so badly.

It would add so much to RP to have a mute murder-machine that you can wear as a hat.
