More Drones!

[Falamazeer]

We have a lot of options after death these days, ghosts get pulled for many options, but I never seem to get those roles, and I can't imagine I'm alone in this, so again, I'm making a drone thread and poll, to allow a super magical automatic drone dispenser that ghosts can click and re-enter the game as glorified toolboxes.

We've all had a bad experience with an overly interfering drone, and there are complications to this concept, but if given the time to become a mainstream option I am confident the community as a whole would adjust to it, namely by dealing with a fuckton of drone bans until the concept is hammered into peoples heads.

what'cha thing /tg/ can we have drones as a default and normal option for ourselves?

Don't forget birdboat xenobio maintenance.
All it needs is metal and it will poop out drone shells every once in a while

Well shit, this is embarrising if you're right, but I'm looking this very second and not seeing it.wiki has no details of it's addition and why the hell are there still never any drones around?


EDIT!! found it, no drones on it, how often does it even put them out?
seems worthless as is, as a simple jump-to-mob reveals no drones on station. and as this is so under utilized I didn't even know it existed

I think someone in the round has to turn it on manually or its on a timer, I forget which honestly.

Alrighty, I'll revise my suggestion, make the drone dispenser actually useful.
Remove the metal glass costs, or at least let it start with a bunch, instead of periodically pumping one out, code it to crank out a drone when activated by a ghost.

If you're counting on players to both know it exists, and to set it up, it's not gonna happen, just look how often the engine isn't on!

Make construction less horrible.
