AI Hologram Customization/Options expansion

Currently, there are a few options for AI appearances at holopads: Default, Carp, Face, and a crewmember. Personally, I think it's kinda weird that to get a humanoid appearance outside of the default, you need to copy a crewmember's look.

My suggestion is that the "default" AI hologram option gets changed to the character you make in "character setup." This way you can see more varied AI holograms, and gives AI players the ability to set up an appearance befitting of their AI's personality, without having to copy a crewmember's look and weirding them out. (If this is a thing already that I have missed, I'm sorry, and ignore this).

Another idea would be to just give us more options for looks besides "Fish" and "Face," such as stationbound sprites, sprites not using in game (Outside of events or staff of change shenanigans), spiders, monkeys...

Basically, I'd like to see more variety in holopad appearances for AIs. I'm not sure how difficult this would be, code-wise, or if it requires entirely new sprites. Thoughts?

I think having a simple cube where the Sprite flashes as a typing indicator would be neat.

I like this idea, adding more variety for ai holograms would be nice.

I, for one, support this choice. The default humanoid AI is obviously Cortana, I can't wait to make Roland:

I would love to have Avacyn's holo image look the way Avacyn looks in the character setup.

yes PLEASE.

one naked Unathi AI coming right right

I suppose I'll have to sprite a giant humanoid rabbit if I'll ever bring back Harvey.

I, for one, support this choice. The default humanoid AI is obviously Cortana, I can't wait to make Roland:

What is this from?

What is this from?

Roland, Halo series.

Shows up in Halo 4 and onwards as the shipbound AI for the UNSC Infinity.

I like this idea! Having a default hologram sprite you can set would be really nice. Makes it less frustrating when you forget to set your favorite hologram and appear as a human when someone wants to talk to you. +1

Oh and more holograms in general would be really nice.

Still would really like to see this! Bumping for any further comments.

Raising from the dead

Bumping!

Oh! 

I admit, by now Arlo’s hologram gimmick is forcing the HoS to wear the HoS voidsuit for a few seconds so Arlo can look fancy when he talks to crew. If that doesn’t work, any voidsuit. 

New AI-only hologram sprites would be very much loved.

Bottom line: I either see naked Cortana ripoffs or big SpaceFish; variety and uniqueness for AI players is hard to come by because of selection restriction outside of custom holograms - which doesn’t work regardless. So this would be a welcome addition yes. (Also I saw that B.B. cube reference nice one).
