Make Greys a common playable race, replace abductors with something else
There is an old sprite in aliens.dmi. We might use it for the latter, we migth not.
I focken love Greys. I want them around as the joy incarnate they clearly are (LOOK AT THEM), not an armored scarecrow or a mutilated corpse.
I even heard of a medical doctor speedrunning becoming one, using a body spawning somewhere in space. I could really relate... But must we be forced to resort to such drastic measures? There are so many other things that could anal probe the crew just as good as them, while we get to enjoy them as a part of our everyday life. (me in real life)

No, replace abductors with one of the following:
- The unused random hallucination salad looking mf in the first image
- Something else

Re: Make Greys a common playable race, replace abductors with something else
Here's how to make it interesting.
Abductors exist,they abduct humans, steal their organs, put weird parts in their bodies and set them on their way.
Abductors should keep existing, but with a twist. Centcomm Alien Autopsies. Basically, this would be an optional mission. Centcomm would ask if they would like to participate in an alien autopsy. If the station agrees, a dead grey on a stretcher appears on the shuttle. This can be taken to medbay, where surgery can commence, all the organs taken out, labeled and sent back on the supply shuttle to centcomm. This opens the opportunity for more missions, and assuming Space Station 13 does it enough, it attracts the attention of grays, and an abductor strike team. Not just the pair of observers we are used to encountering.
There's another option. medbay can restore or even revive the gray. Once surgery is done and the paddles are applied, there's a prompt for ghosts to enter the body. If there are no ghosts who want the job, the paddles don't work and they have to try again later.
Also I am pretty sure that old sprite aliens.dmi is something characters see as a hallucination

Helios, people asking for ayys to be a roundstart race obviously aren't interested in interesting mechanics

Shuddup Armhulen. He posted a different idea that has nothing to do with my tearful love letter to Greys. No need for strawmans.

Re: Make Greys a common playable race, replace abductors with something else
Yeah true that but I still wanted that swipe. I still think that ayylmaos are made a lot better by their unique role and rarity that spices up the antag. If abductors were human they would be a lot less loved

I can't think of many that are centered around giving a department more content..(other then security!)
Are you sure it's not the final stage of Progression Revenants when they start shooting the crew with anime reference energy blasts

No the salad guy only appears as a hallucination, similar to a husk standing upright.
Someone even gave me background about an era on /tg/ where assets were added for later and this is one of them.
Not that convinced it should be the replacer, but it's something.

How about monkeys as a roundstart race that can spawn anywhere on the station except maint or the AI satellite?
